Maybe they’re referring to “where clauses”?

I don’t find this surprising at all. So many windows updates broke dual booting over years. They really don’t care and have no need to.

They don’t change things just for the sake of it. They change things so they can point at it and say, “look what I did! I deserve a promotion!”

You having regrets depends on your expectations. If you want a very stable system with little maintenance then you’ll be happy. Packages will be older but that’s what makes it easy to keep stable.

I’m not personally a fan of vanilla Debian because the stable versions are a bit too outdated for the things I like to work with. I do use Debian derivatives though the LTS versions.

Because the seals on the mask itself weren’t rated and they didn’t go through FDA authorization. You HAVE to go through FDA clearance if you want to claim your product meets medical standards.

I highly doubt someone who’s struggling with a phone is going to do well with a screen projected on your hand that has very sensitive hand interaction requirements.

I don’t see how that can be used to make performant code though. I usually want to make my locked regions as small as possible to avoid how long other threads are blocked for.

I knew someone who did this but swapped out the physical hard drive each time. I wouldn’t dual boot because then it’s much more obvious to IT what you’ve done.

This is only realistically feasible though if the hard drive is easily accessible. If it’s something like a Mac or soldered in dual booting is your only choice. As others have said, this could get you in a lot of trouble with your company. Check the docs you’ve signed

Rm was updated to actually log a warning in the -rf / cases, so that’s less likely to happen anymore. Still not a bad habit to use ls though

I trolled myself by “learning” that I could delete all files in a directory, including hidden files, with rm -rf ./*. The mistake being that I (more than once…) accidentally put a space between the . and /.

Ublock origin on Firefox. You’ll be shocked at how fast pages will load

But how do I know if the WHERE clause is AND or OR?

It shouldn’t break if you just install packages from the main app installer. It’s more of a concern if you’re trying to install anything from source.

Also make sure to try a live cd or live USB to make sure the OS is compatible with your hardware. VM is not sufficient for this last one. This is usually only an issue if you have very new hardware.

I would get comfortable with the idea of breaking things. Make regular backups of your data. The best that I’m aware of for making it easy to work backwards from breaking things is NixOS, but I wouldn’t consider it beginner friendly.

You learn a lot from trying to bring a system back online. But it depends if you’re trying Linux to learn it more or just to take advance of privacy.

Yes, though this is true of a lot of the easier distros.

I was newish to Linux and had just run rm -rf ./.* to remove all the hidden files/dirs in a directory. I then wanted to run rm -rf ./* to clear the rest, but I accidentally ran rm -rf . /*. By the time I noticed it was taking too long and hit Ctrl+C, it was too late.

What IT guys did you go to?

Doesn’t work on boost either

That’s hilarious! I’m curious how this breaks your story if you keep playing.

It’s WAY better than batch (not to be confused with bash) scripting. It’s got some really nice features though and lacks a lot of the small paper cuts inherited from legacy shells. Look at nushell for something similar on Linux.
