European. Liberal. Insufferable green. I never downvote opinions: jeering is poor form. I ignore questions by downvoters. Comments with insulting language, or snark, or gotchas, or other effort-free content, will also be ignored.
Most laptops will be more or less fully compatible
If by “most” you mean only the ones over 500 bucks. Chromebooks have almost completely taken over the bottom end of the market (which is more than adequate if you’re not gaming) and Chromebooks are not compatible with Linux unless you enjoy getting your hands very dirty.
Desktop environment? Who needs a desktop environment?
And then some of them learn that downvoting is obnoxious and toxic, while others never grow out of infancy.
Possibly it’s about personality types. I was only going on my own experience. Of always being told by a chorus of experts “Oh no you don’t want to do that!” and ending up being terrified to touch anything. When I now know that I usually had nothing to be afraid of, because dangerous things tend to be locked down by design, exactly as they should be.
it depends how secure you want your network to be. Personally I think UFW is easy so you may as well set it up
IMO this attitude is problematic. It encourages people (especially newbies) to think they can’t trust anything, that software is by nature unreliable. I was one of those people once.
Personally, now I understand better how these things work, there’s no way I’m wasting my time putting up multiple firewalls. The router already has a firewall. Next.
PS: Sure, people don’t like this take - you can never have enough security, right? But take account of who you’re talking to - OP didn’t understand that their server is not even on the public internet. That fact makes all the difference here.
The fact that you’re even saying such things as “time constraints” or “to learn new software” suggests an attitude to computing shared by about 0.01% of the population. It cannot be re-stressed enough to the (sadly shrinking) bubble that frequents this community: the vast majority of people in the world have never touched a laptop let alone a desktop computer. Literally everything now happens on mobile, where FOSS is vanishingly insignificant, and soon AI is going to add a whole new layer of dystopia. But that is slightly offtopic.
It’s a good question IMO. Choosing software freedom - to the small extent that you still can - should not just be about the freedom to tinker, it should also just be easy.
The answer is Ubuntu or Mint or Fedora.
This is a just a style thing, EN-GB vs EN-US.
I assure you I am not a robot
No but definitely an American.
The opposite is also dangerous, i.e. believing reflexively in heterodoxies and conspiracy theories. But your point stands.
Not quite. XML came several years after HTML! Both are descendants of SGML.
Yeah I know all that, but for whatever reason this dumbass domain seems to be the only one I ever see. Personally I’m all in favor of having a respectable ,canonical domain for newbies and occasional users, but this one is not going to cut it.
Slightly tangential but PeerTube is never going to compete with the Big Red Play Button if people use juvenile domain names like “peertube.wtf”
Immutable distros like NixOS don’t stop you from tweaking stuff, they just record every tweak centrally, so that you can undo them and do rollbacks.
Others can confirm that I’ve got that right. Haven’t tried it but the idea sounds great.
I would like to have a system when I know what I did, what is opened/installed/activated and what is not
Story of my life after 20 years on Linux. Maybe we could call it “modification anxiety”.
I believe this is the case for an immutable OS.
Contravenes rule #3. Moderation please.
PS. And rule #1 and IMO even rule #4 because it’s a pretty boring observation.
And also in the oil giants, which are far worse for the world than Tesla.
Search results, sure. Personally I have rarely if ever wanted to save or share such URLs. But sure.
Sure, but my script only gets rid of the second and later parameters, i.e. ones with & not ?. Personally I don’t think I’ve ever seen a single site where an & param is critical. These days there few where the ? matters either, but yes YT is a holdout.
You never define “clean”.
To strip excess URL parameters (i.e. beginning “&”, almost certainly junk) if the clipboard buffer contains a URL and only a URL (Wayland only):
if url=$(printf '%s' "$(wl-paste --no-newline | awk '$1=$1' ORS=' ')" | egrep -o 'https?://[^ ]+') ; then
wl-copy "${url%%\&*}"
