So thats how linux works, thx

loudWaterEnjoyer ,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes, there is a little colony of gnomes sitting inside the machine. They are the ones doing all the heavy calculations. The bitcoin boom burned out so many of them it's a total disaster. Currently you could consider them kind if endangered I guess.

Correct!

What is a "distro"?

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Similar to a "bistro", except it's not a small restaurant, but it's quite large. The prices are still moderate though.

GregorTacTac ,
@GregorTacTac@lemm.ee avatar

I heard they are free tho

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Please share where there is free food, I'd gladly visit that place.

It does the opposite of a woman touch.

Who is Linus and why does he Torvalds

0x4E4F OP , (edited )
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Ah, that's a interesting story actually.

See, when he was a little kid, he fell a lot on his head and had quite a few concussions. The Swedish word for concussion is "torva", so they decided to change his sirname in order to scare the concussion daemons away. And that's why Linus can Toldvalds and why he's the only one that can Torvalds.

Minnels ,

As a Swedish person i just learned a new word.

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Glad I could help 😊.

spez ,
@spez@sh.itjust.works avatar

Wait, isn't he Finnish?

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, I think he's Swedish, he just studied in Finland.

MonkeMischief ,

You could say he Finnished his studies. 😎

Lemmy.

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Lemmy Kowalski, the famous musician-engineer??

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, Lemmy Kilmister.

Evil_Shrubbery ,

Yes, that was the "musician" part of the reference. The engineer part was to bring it back to bird form.

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Wait, I plan on entering the music industry too, with the exact username that I use on this site. What if people accuse me of copying Mr Kilmister? Am I gonna be remembered as an absolute piece of shi-

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

You can always catch them off guard by using the Lemmy logo as an avatar 😉.

Resol ,
@Resol@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, no.

The avatar I'm currently using is actually related to my username in one way or another. Just do a reverse image search, and then spell the first word of my username backwards and you'll understand what I mean.

So I'm basically a loser from the fediverse.

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Well, you'd be the first loser musician, I can tell you that much 👍.

Resol ,

ma1w4re ,

Under Ubuntu based distros, which package fixes Clangs ability to find C++ headers in Vscode

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

The clang-find-cpp-headers-in-vscode-dev package.

ma1w4re ,

close, its libstdc++-12-dev 😔

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah, some distros have the acronym instead of the full name.

What's a fork?

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

It's an eating utensil.

GregorTacTac ,
@GregorTacTac@lemm.ee avatar

How is Android a "fork" of Linux then?

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Linux is an eating ustensil for Android... I don't get the confusin.

GregorTacTac ,
@GregorTacTac@lemm.ee avatar

So I eat android with Linux? Sounds about right

CaptPretentious ,

What are the important, distinguishing differences between RHEL8 and REHL9 one should probably know.

laurelraven ,

One is divisible by 3 and not 2, and the other is divisible by 2 and not 3

This is very important when checking if your software packages are compatible

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Correct!

loudWaterEnjoyer ,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Explain this

laurelraven ,

That is a high compatibility version for when you need to work with many different softwares at once

loudWaterEnjoyer ,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

But it's 4.5, which is like (9 ÷ 2) so that kinda contradicts your first statement, doesn't it?

laurelraven ,

Not at all! Since it's half of 9, it can therefore work with half of the software RHEL 9 is compatible with, but since the 4 is also divisible by 2, it can handle all of that software as well.

It's really quite simple, I don't see how this could be confusing at all...

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

No questions on how to exit vim 🤔 🤨?

Crashumbc ,

I haven't used vim since collage (I'm currently a aarp member) isn't it "cntrl-x" ?

ReveredOxygen ,
@ReveredOxygen@sh.itjust.works avatar

that is nano

Crashumbc ,

Pretty sure nano didn't exist in 93' oh well

gentooer ,

But pico did and nano is built to emulate pico.

Hapbt ,
@Hapbt@mastodon.social avatar

@gentooer @Crashumbc isnt pico built to emulate wordstar or something like that?

Crashumbc ,

You're way past my knowledge. I'm not a programmer by trade. I just hack shit occasionally :p

gentooer ,

I'm afraid that's from before my time. I'm born in 1996 and didn't have internet before 2008. I think my first Linux install was Ubuntu 12.04 from a CD-ROM.

loudWaterEnjoyer ,
@loudWaterEnjoyer@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Because the people are stuck in VIM

bhamlin ,

From another terminal:

ps ax | grep vim | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -- kill -9

nogrub ,

the only way to exit vim is to unplug your pc

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Correct!

rxin ,

How do I exit vmacs?? my coworker must have played s joke on me

0x4E4F OP ,

You press the X button.

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar
  • The creepy pedo command can be used on any file, except PDF.

Regarding the rest, I think I have to call 911.

nandeEbisu ,

How do you exit vim, and more importantly why would you even want to exit vim?

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

You click on the X button. You're done doing whatever it is you people do in this so called "vim", and you close it, simple.

@VinesNFluff@pawb.social avatar

The community told me that using Arch would turn me into a cute femboy. It's been a decade and I'm still as large and hairy as I was back then.

My question is who should I sue for this false advertisement?

bhamlin ,

Sorry, this is a kerning issue. Cute FERNboy.

IHateFacelessPorn ,

Oh fk now thinking about it, me starting to use an Arch based distro and starting going to laser epilation pretty much happened at the same time period. Save me..

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Can I interest you in showing you the ways of our lord and saviour, Jesus Christ?

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Linus. He is responsible for making Linux, in general, so Arch had to use that kernel. If Linux never existed, you might've naturally become a femboy.

Gingernate ,

Linus, as in tech tips right?

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

No, Linus as in sex tips.

Gingernate ,

Hahahahahahaha I can't imagine tech tips Linus or torvalds linus having any good sex tips 😂😂😂

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Well, for people that don't have any sex tips, they sure are good at fucking around with us.

Pwnmode ,

I installed arch last night and woke up with nail polish on.

What does the X stand for?

0x4E4F OP , (edited )
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

X is short for X-Rated. No person under the age of 18 is supposed to use X. Of course, this doesn't mean that there are no documented cases of minors using X, which has seriously affected their mental health.

rockmeat ,
@rockmeat@feddit.de avatar

And what about the X in Linux?

Come to think of it, what does Linux stand for?

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

Linus Is Nuts, Use X.

crispy_kilt ,

Wtf is this shit

0x4E4F OP ,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

I know nothing about Linux. Ask me anything about it and I'll try and answer your question to the best of my abilities.

nandeEbisu ,

Good answer.
