The openSUSE Wiki says not to use ventoy as it can cause boot issues.

What you guys are referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

That's not necessarily true any more. There are distros built without the GNU tools.

Ain't that the truth!

There's actually five of the furry little psychopaths so I'm very well supervised.

It works fine for me. Not on wayland but that's down to my Nvidia card and I hope explicit sync will sort it out.

In addition to what's already been said, Canonical have a history of starting grandiose projects and then abandoning them a few years later. See Mir, Unity, and Ubuntu Touch for examples.

Is your Persi like my Percy, a cuddly thug?

Alpine Linux is often recommended in similar circumstances. I've never tried it so can't say how it is. Of course you could use Debian with a light WM.

Well then, it's an interesting proposal because it would be nice to see a major player default to KDE. I don't see it happening though.

According to vim --help:

Put such things into your home dir which does not change when distro hopping. home dir will always stay there no matter what.

Unless you've put it on the same partition as root

The first distro I tried was Red Hat 5 back in the late 1990s but I never got a GUI working so I guess the first one I used properly would have been Mandrake iirc. These days it's Tumbleweed.

The same risks apply to any software proprietary or open source which is why Microsoft have the following in their licence agreement:

  1. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.The software is licensed “as-is.” You bear the risk of using it. Microsoft gives no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights under your local laws which this agreement cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local laws, Microsoft excludes the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. FOR AUSTRALIA ONLY: You have statutory guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law and nothing in these terms is intended to affect those rights.

LIMITATION ON AND EXCLUSION OF REMEDIES AND DAMAGES. You can recover from Microsoft and its suppliers only direct damages up to U.S. $5.00. You can't recover any other damages, including consequential, lost profits, special, indirect or incidental damages.

Knowing that and knowing that themes can have code is two different things though. I wasn't particularly surprised as I thought (maybe wrongly) that global themes just installed all the other bits which would require code.

A theme is software and software has bugs. While this one had a pretty dramatic effect, you take basically the same risk with every program you run. This, along with hardware and user errors are why backups are so important; they change a disaster to an inconvenience.

Glad she's doing fine. No cone of shame though!

Imagine using extra characters in your variable names. And they say Java is verbose...

Does your IDE not highlight the lines written by you in a different colour? Of course that doesn't help when it's an error in production!

MyNameIsRichard ,
@MyNameIsRichard@lemmy.ml avatar

I thought it highlighted the line number in blue when it was your code. I use eclipse so can't properly remember

Try Learn CPP or the Beginners course by John Purcell. The later has a really cool project but teaches an older C++ style which doesn't matter too much as a beginner. Both are free.

Good luck with it. Have fun!

But what does an Arch using vegan who does cross fit talk about first?

Lemmy's code formatter has a bug where it escapes the less than symbol <

That's fake! There's no way you're winning a prize that good from one of those.
