    kill is a command.

    love, happiness, and peace are not commands.

    You can totally find love using command sudo apt install love. It’s a game engine.

    happiness is a Perl module inside libdemeter-perl package. Let’s not install Perl modules, there lies insanity.

    And you can find peace in a whole bunch of packages, it’s an icon of the peace symbol.






  • Dolphin shows you places that are not in your file system, such as network shares or your phone‘s media directory. Those are fake files, illusions of Satan, temptations designed to stray you from the path of God. Avoid anything that is not opened with open and not read with read system calls, for doing so is a sin before eyes of God (fopen and fread are permitted). Mount your network shares using sudo mount -t cifs.





  • People are boasting about Arch, but my first open-source OS was FreeBSD 4.2, fitting on a single CD-ROM.
    It included a tiny base system and C compiler, and practically every other package had to be compiled from source, using the ports system, which was just a collection of makefiles, one for each package.
    And you had to be careful to use gmake instead of make, because the default Make was BSD-specific tool incompatible with most of open-source software, which targeted Linux. And you had to make sure to use GNU versions of grep, sed, and awk, and remove all bashisms from shell scripts, because /bin/sh was of course incompatible with bash.
    You had only about 50% chance that a given package would compile. Package manager? What package manager? Just run suand then make install.
    And my PC was AMD K6, and it had Turbo button, which did absolutely nothing. And I was very proud of my TEAC CD drive.
