That’s exactly why I run Linux. If you want something that just keeps running the basically the same way for like 20 years, that’s your option.

Watched it. Good recommendation.
I’ve used a lot of sed but never ed. Should skim the man page at sone point.
Big factor behind his divorce, iirc.
That was a plot point in Cryptonomicon. And yeah the XFree86 docs mentioned it too…
I like

3·5 months agoI’ve been using Ganeti for like 15 years now, and I’m not sure what proxmox offers besides a nice GUI. I know how Ganeti works and getting up to speed on a new one doesn’t seem super interesting to me. Is anyone here familiar with both?
Yeah, actually. The proprietary drivers unfortunately.
Consider not responding with all the reasons someone’s lived experience is impossible in future.
I’m glad you’re here to tell me how my experience the last 30 years was. Thank you for enlightening me as to how my choices were wrong and how I was silently suffering.
I gamed on Debian. I was so wrong.
Bit of selection bias.
Car shops are full of cars that have problems. Why would you be at a shop if you didn’t? Same with forums.
News to me. I’m running GloriousEggroll with proton 10…
That really was not my experience. I didn’t game much. WoW mostly. Some StarCraft. Minecraft. Online games. Debian unstable worked fine and I don’t think I had to compile my own kernel (for gaming) at any point past 2005 or so.
I’ve always enjoyed the tinkering. My gaming habits pretty much grew up with WINE. DXVK was very exciting!
Never been a stranger to compiling my own kernel or mucking about with DLL overrides.
Consistent branding over multiple decades!

Now you can have any colour you want, but they have mandatory LEDs embedded in every peripheral a d they no longer sell opaque cases.
