Rather than forcing you to navigate through a barrage of options and menus just to fix an error, the CLI nature of the Linux terminal makes troubleshooting a breeze. Likewise, installing applications and packages from the terminal is a lot easier than using executables. Having used Linux for years, I’ve picked up a couple of ways to elevate my CLI experience, and here’s a compilation of my favorite terminal tricks.

Mdern computers come with UEFI instead of good old BIOS, and that computer cannot boot on lilo. You’ll have to use elilo or grub instead. Until now, Slackware supported elilo in the distro installer, but if you wanted to give your computer a Grub bootloader instead of elilo, you would have to do that manually right after the installation of Slackware is completed. Or you could swap out elilo for grub at any later time of course – it is not difficult. Slackware-current is working its way toward making Grub the default bootloader. The process of installing or upgrading kernels is now automated to the level that if you have Grub installed as the bootloader, there’s nothing you need to do yourself: an initrd is generated based on your preferences (preferences can be written to the files /etc/default/grub , /etc/default/geninitrd and /etc/ mkinitrd.conf), the grub bootmenu is refreshed and that’s it!

Try These 7 Open Source Ports of Classic Games — If you're using a Linux computer, you may think many games you want to play, especially a vintage classic, is going to require futzing with compatibility layers and other nonsense—if it's playable at all. In reality, right at your fingertips are many fun and free games that emulate the ones you remember. I've done a lot of digging in Linux software repositories in my time. They're the places you get your standard free and open source apps like Firefox and LibreOffice. I've also found them to be absolute treasure troves of classic-inspired games you can play without any special configuration, compatibility layers, or emulator tools. If you know where to find them, you just download, install, and get out that game controller.

Most of us follow this rule for good reason—CLI is what Docker was built for. But what happens when you break the rules? I decided to do something out of the ordinary. My goal was to run a full-fledged Linux desktop inside a container. I don't want just a shell; I want a fully functional GUI that exists where it's not supposed to.

Rather than forcing you to navigate through a barrage of options and menus just to fix an error, the CLI nature of the Linux terminal makes troubleshooting a breeze. Likewise, installing applications and packages from the terminal is a lot easier than using executables. Having used Linux for years, I’ve picked up a couple of ways to elevate my CLI experience, and here’s a compilation of my favorite terminal tricks. o § Games⠀➾ # ⚓ HowTo Geek ☛ Bored_on_Linux?_Try_These_7_Open_Source_Ports of_Classic_Games⠀⇛ If you're using a Linux computer, you may think many games you want to play, especially a vintage classic, is going to require futzing with compatibility layers and other nonsense—if it's playable at all. In reality, right at your fingertips are many fun and free games that emulate the ones you remember. I've done a lot of digging in Linux software repositories in my time. They're the places you get your standard free and open source apps like Firefox and LibreOffice. I've also found them to be absolute treasure troves of classic-inspired games you can play without any special configuration, compatibility layers, or emulator tools. If you know where to find them, you just download, install, and get out that game controller. * § Distributions and Operating Systems⠀➾ o § Mobile Systems/Mobile Applications⠀➾ # ⚓ Liliputing ☛ Lilbits:_Desktop_Linux_apps_on_Android_phones, Xbox_PC_gaming_on_ARM-based_computers,_and_a_cheaper_Kindle color⠀⇛ Google recently added an experimental Linux terminal app to Android that installs Debian in a virtual machine and lets you run command-line apps.

After all, we could simply use VirtualBox or even dual-boot Linux alongside Windows. My answer is simple: curiosity and the desire for a challenge. I’ve been interested in Docker for some time, and while I have had experience with full-stack web development, not much in the world of Docker and containerization. I wanted to experiment with things and learn by doing them, so this project was the answer. From the start, I knew this wouldn't be easy. I expected that a day, maybe two days at most, would be enough to get a graphical Linux system up and running. But the reality of the challenge was quite the opposite. The obstacles I faced over the next four days were completely unexpected and far more complex than I could have ever anticipated, stretching my patience well beyond what I had prepared for.

This feature allows you to install a wide range of distros such as Debian, Ubuntu, and RHEL, and use them side-by-side in Windows Terminal. It's a great way to get the best of both worlds. However, Linux is a very varied ecosystem, and there are also good reasons to run different Linux distributions within your current one. And of course, with the Linux community being as proactive as it is, there's a solution for that. Distrobox isn't the only option out there for running multiple Linux distros on your PC, but it's a great one. Even for a relatively new user in the space, Distrobox is easy to use and it's very capable. § It's easy to set up * ⚓ XDA ☛ 5_Linux_distros_that_will_make_your_old_laptop_feel_brand_new⠀⇛ Installing Linux is a fantastic way to get more life out of your old laptop, saving you some money and sparing your laptop from the landfill for a little longer. Linux is almost always lighter and faster than Windows, so any distribution can offer a big performance boost for aging hardware. However, if you're new to Linux, choosing between all the different versions (or "distributions") can be overwhelming. I used Linux to bring my old HP laptop back from the dead, but it took a little trial and error before finding the right distribution for me. Along the way, I came across a handful of distributions that really stand out as good picks for older hardware, as well as some tips to keep in mind when choosing a distro for your laptop. * ⚓ XDA ☛ You_told_me_to_try_this_Linux_distro_for_tablets,_and_it's actually_not_terrible⠀⇛ Not too long ago, I wrote about my experiences using Linux on a tablet and how I came away unimpressed. While it worked okay, I just found it more frustrating than fun most of the time, and I couldn't recommend it over sticking with Windows 11. A lot of readers took issue with that, and one of the comments asked if I had tried Endless OS, which I admittedly hadn't. In fact, I hadn't heard of Endless OS before, but I was certainly curious, so I went ahead and installed it on the same tablet as before. The verdict? It's certainly an improvement, and for once, I might actually see myself using it, even if there aren't actually that many differences. ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣒⣄⡶⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠠⣥⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⠀⠀⠿⢡⣮⣴⣦⣰⣂⠀⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠌⢻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠠⠄⠔⠢⢴⠘⡷⠀⠀⠀⢿⡿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠀⢾⣶⠎⢸⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣧⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠉⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⡖⠂⠀⠘⠁⠀⠹⣷⡘⠂⣘⣷⢾⣿⢟⢿⣷⡀⠰⠋⣤⣀⡠⠄⠉⠀⠩⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⠀⠀⢿⣿⣿⠟⠁⠀⠤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠆⡊⠁⢈⣿⣇⡤⠿⠿⠄⠀⠎⠕⣽⣳⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠈⠙⢛⠱⣋⠁⢖⣀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠉⠀⠀⠉⢉⠉⠂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⡿⠶⢀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣮⣿⣿⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⣼⡯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢢⡢⠆⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠱⠀⠘⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣦⣄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠐⠾⣿⣇⡤⠀⠀⠐⠒⠀⠰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣨⣤⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢩⢽⣌⡄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠁⠈⠋⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢠⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⡄⠀⠛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣀⣤⣤⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠿⠿⠿⠿⠿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⡿⢻⠉⡽⡕⠉⠉⠁⠙⢛⣽⣧⠻⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣇⡄⢤⣄⣀⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣠⣤⣤⣶⣤⣤⣄⣠⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣥⣭⣟⣓⣲⠄⠀⠃⠠⠀⢠⡀⠻⣾⣻⣷⡘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡆⠸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠷⠄⠀⠀⠂⢀⣿⣷⠈⣿⣿⡇⠉⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠉⠁⠀⠀⠀⡸⢗⡄⣰⣿⡇⣴⣾⣯⡿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠟⠋⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠛⢿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣶⣿⣿⡿⢃⣉⡹⢋⡀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠇⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠀⠀⠀⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡀⠀⠹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠛⢉⠉⠡⠟⣋⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⠀⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⢹⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣴⡷⢋⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠀⠀⠘⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠏⠀⠐⠾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣶⣄⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣄⣀⣴⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣄⠀⠀⠈⠉⠛⠻⠿⠛⠛⠋⠀⠀⢀⣠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣷⣄⣀⣀⣠⣽⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣤⣄⠀⠀⠀⢀⡀⣀⣬⣴⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡏⠀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣤⣤⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠀⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿ ䷩ 𝚕𝚒𝚗𝚎 1108 ╒═══════════════════ 𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐋𝐄 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ (ℹ) Images, hyperlinks and comments at https://tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/17/Today_in_Techrights.shtml Gemini version at gemini://gemini.tuxmachines.org/n/2025/08/17/Today_in_Techrights.gmi ⠀⌧ █▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁ Today in Techrights⠀▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▁▂▃▄▅▆▇█ ⌧ posted by Roy Schestowitz on Aug 17, 2025 🄸🄼🄰🄶🄴_🄳🄴🅂🄲🅁🄸🄿🅃🄸🄾🄽_⦇Scenic_view_of_Seattle_with_frozen_lake_an_stormy_clouds⦈_ ⚓ Updated This Past Day⠀⇛ 1. ⚓ Don't_Talk_to_Bullies⠀⇛ This serious matter is still being examined by British authorities 2. ⚓ The_Case_for_Software_Freedom_in_Europe_Becomes_Stronger_as_GAFAM_and the_US_Become_Allies_of_Those_Who_Invade_Europe⠀⇛ "One would think that both sides of the pond would be very interested in this valuable commons and work to not just protect it but cultivate it further, rather than work to saw the legs from under it by advancing software patents instead." 3. ⚓ Slopwatch:_Google_News,_LinuxSecurity,_LinuxBSDos.com,_and_Garbage_From Brian_Fagioli⠀⇛ nowadays when people search the Web or when one researches some topic (looking not just for news in Google News) one is increasingly likely to land on a fake 'article' spewed out by some Microsoft LLM 4. ⚓ Gemini_Links_16/08/2025:_Back_After_Hiatus_and_News_Aggregators_in Geminispace⠀⇛ Links for the day 5. ⚓ Links_16/08/2025:_mRNA_Being_Abandoned,_Putin_Plant_Flags_in_Alaska, Faces_No_Sanctions⠀⇛ Links for the day 6. ⚓ Links_16/08/2025:_Science_Besieged,_Confidentiality_Standards Breached⠀⇛ Links for the day 7. ⚓ Links_16/08/2025:_Loners_and_Vacation,_Climate_Issues⠀⇛ Links for the day 8. ⚓ Links_16/08/2025:_Chatbots_Bad_for_Kids,_Software_Patents_Apple Battle⠀⇛ Links for the day 9. ⚓ Over_at_Tux_Machines...⠀⇛ GNU/Linux news for the past day 10. ⚓ IRC_Proceedings:_Friday,_August_15,_2025⠀⇛ IRC logs for Friday, August 15, 2025 11. ⚓ Slopwatch:_WebProNews_and_Google_News_Promoting_Fake_Articles_About "Linux"⠀⇛ Google News is being flooded by these slopfarms, so when Linux news is being sought online (via Google News) many people will read bots that spew out FUD 12. ⚓ Original_European_Patent_Convention_(EPC,_1973),_Routinely_Violated_by the_European_Patent_Office,_Now_in_Geminispace⠀⇛ hundreds of thousands of European Patents must be immediately revoked 13. ⚓ Gemini_Links_16/08/2025:_Politics_and_Alhena_5.2.8⠀⇛ Links for the day ========================================================================= The corresponding text-only bulletin for Saturday contains all the text.

out to be some interesting aspects to these probes. This new DNS server has two network interfaces, both firewalled off from outside queries, but only one is used as the source IP on queries to authoritative DNS servers. In addition, we have other machines on both networks, with firewalls, so I can get a sense of the ambient DNS probes. * ⚓ The New Stack ☛ Linux:_Email_From_the_Command_Line⠀⇛ The Linux mail command allows users to send and receive emails directly from the command line.

The userbase, atleast according to some metrics, seems to be climbing. I realised today that it's been 4 years for me since I did the switch. I have gathered some know-how that maybe a complete newbie could find useful. I also try to untangle some jargon I've learned: It may not be exactly technically correct, but this is meant for a more regular user anyway. Note: Do not trust "AI" tools when looking for information. They can lie. They don't really "know" anything, they just copy what they see on the internet, and spit it out. Sometimes in wrong orders and contexts. I will list some resources I trust at the end of the post.

It's obvious that, despite some annoyances, Linux has a lot that Windows could stand to learn from in terms of user freedom and customization options. There's one particular element of Linux that's paramount to all these differences, though: desktop environments. This is the most fundamental aspect of Linux customization to a typical end user, to the point where different Linux distros really can feel like completely different machines despite the underlying similarities. And more than anything, this is the feature I wish Microsoft would copy over to Windows 11. * § Instructionals/Technical⠀➾ o ⚓ It's FOSS ☛ This_One_Command_Turned_My_Arch_Install_Into_a Beautiful_Hyprland_Setup⠀⇛ Arch Linux sits in an interesting spot in the Linux world. It's the distribution people choose when they want to build everything themselves, package by package. The rolling release model means you're always on the cutting edge, along with the challenges such a setup brings with it. Tiling window managers like Hyprland on the other hand, have been making waves lately. These modern compositors bring smooth animations and visual effects to what used to be purely functional, keyboard-driven environments. They're attracting users who want efficiency without sacrificing aesthetics. ╘══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ ¶ Lines in total: 1668 ➮ Generation completed at 02:50, i.e. 21 seconds to (re)generate ⟲
