LiGNUx is a hill I’m entrenched and ready to die on.

If you didn’t tell me one of these were fake I would never have questioned it.

Were the provided instructions unclear?

Objectively incorrect

Not on bare metal, for this reason

Because people with no interest in anime see it as a monolithic genre defined by the unbelievable wasterfall of fanservice isekai drivel. Pretty much all forms of animation still bear the burden of being seen as a genre within a medium rather than a medium themselves.

I do appreciate the self awareness of Tox being an unbridled agent of chaos, gives me big goose vibes.

Got a old piece of hardware that I want to breathe new life into as an NAS. Going to learn me some more about file systems and networks.

I was a couple weeks into using Linux before this was made clear to me and the world made a lot more sense.

Have some respect for the classics

You clearly don’t have much experience with the full bell curve of people’s ability with computers.

A jack of all trades and a master of none?

FWIW the 90s ended over 20 years ago. A lot of people were not alive yet, or were only children at the height of Microsofts tomfuckery.

I would point out, by comparison, that piston engines are effectively obsolete for certain applications. Most aircraft operate on some type of jet engine, which involves the same core concepts of thermodynamics and aeronautics, but are still fundamentally different. They also optimize for different criteria, which is why neither jet engines nor piston engines hold a monopoly on any class of vehicle.

This is really stretching the computer metaphor. I think my point is that there will be room for rethinking paradigms as our applications of computers grow to include things that weren’t originally planned for. But in a mature technology there’s a lot of established precedent, and that’s not easily overcome. It takes something that can improve the field like jet engines made new aircraft possible.

That’s based as hell

Yes.
