Unfortunately, Linux manuals are pretty scattered around. I’ll try to find something for you:

• If you want to learn the very basics of Linux command line, here’s what I found on the web: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ ;
• For on how to use GNU user-land tools (Bash, cat, less, grep, sed, etc.), I recommend the GNU manuals which are very well-written: https://www.gnu.org/manual/blurbs.html (example: Bash manual);
  • GNU manuals are also downloaded for offline read by default. These manuals are provided with info.
• For GUI desktop, it depends on what Desktop Environment (DE) you use:
  • KDE wiki with tutorials: https://userbase.kde.org/Tutorials
  • GNOME app overview with documentation: https://apps.gnome.org/
  • If you don’t know what DE you use, KDE uses sharp edges for windows and GNOME uses round edges ( 👁️👄👁️ ).
• For system, as @Terumo@lemmy.world pointed out, for system-specific stuff, there’s ArchWiki that has topics about everything.
• If you want to understand what are the /usr, /usr/local, /etc, /dev, etc. filesystem directories, you want to look at the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/index.html
• There is also a free training course for Linux: https://training.linuxfoundation.org/training/introduction-to-linux/
• If you’re a developer and want to find out how deep the rabbit hole is, you may want to look at an online book Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces: https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/OSTEP/

EDIT: Forgot this important material:

• If you need to know command-line argument specifics for a particular program, use manpages (For example, to find brief information about grep, type man grep in your shell, and info grep if you need a complete manual).

1. Yes, but also, I do want to have a job because I want to make a positive impact. It’s too easy to become a NEET and be negative at everything.
2. I understand your concern. Next time, I’ll go either no symbols or express my opinion without swearwords (because they are not pleasant, at least for me).

EDIT: but mainstream web is really that bad.

Can be a combination of certain traits:

1. The game is a complex AND continuous/incremental puzzle;
2. Doesn’t have a boring/idle part;
3. Emulates real world. (optional);
4. Player can produce creative output. (optional).

Games that I like: SimCity4 (2003), Europa Universalis 4 (2010s), Touhou series (1997-now), Taisei (2012-now), Minetest and many Tycoon games that used to be popular in 2000s.

Programming and math satisfies all 4 traits :) When I started programming 10 years ago, I became less interested in games.

Literally me 7 hours ago

I think we should open c/asklemmyshitposting for these questions.

Touhou 4 arrange ~ BAD APPLE!!

Just because I can, LOL.

I want SimCity 4 that wouldn’t crash. Even better if it was libre.

Windows 11 installation requirements in Crown English:

• 27 bloats of free space in the hard disk drive;
• 1⅔ bloats of RAM;
• Processor with at least of 60 milliard beats per minute clock rate;
• …

I don’t like animations, smooth transitions, smooth scrolling, rounded boxes and needless notification on the corner (unless it’s a chatting app).

There can be inner shadows/colour gradients. It depends.

I liked how clean was Windows 9x design. Embossed buttons, same font family for design everywhere… Pop-ups didn’t have to ‘fade in’, just instantly appeared on the screen instead.

…in a galaxy far away…

I used to use Arch Linux. It’s really good, honestly, especially if you want to know how the OS components work from inside or make something custom. For anything else, I would recommend Debian and its non-snap-based derivatives (Linux Mint Debian Edition or Tuxedo OS, or KDE Neon).

IDK, I used to have a dedicated software for playing with CUDA. Most of the image-specific AI stuff from the internet require 8 GB of VRAM or more, though.

Nowadays, I don’t feel the need for GPU-accelerated computing, though. If I needed, I would write Vulkan compute shaders for that thing.

There are programs (LyX, TexMacs) that implement WYSIWYG for LaTeX, TexMacs is exceptionally good. I don’t know about the standards, though.

Another problem with LaTeX and most of the other document formats is that they are so bloated and depend on many other tasks that it is hardly possible to embed the tool into a larger document. That’s a bit of criticism for UNIX design philosophy, as well. And LaTeX code is especially hard to make portable.

There used to be a similar situation with PDFs, it was really hard to display a PDF embedded in application. Finally, Firefox pdf.js came in and solved that issue.

The only embedded and easy-to-implement standard that describes a ‘document’ is HTML, for now (with Javascript for scripting). Only that it’s not aware of page layout. If only there’s an extension standard that could make a HTML page into a document…

Sleeping over alarms? That’s easy to fix. One should attach an electrode to his body and charge the capacitor on the other end of the wire. The capacitor is powered by a battery on one side, just to keep the capacitor charged. Then, in the middle of the wire, there’s a relay/transistor that passes current at 3AM, the control signal is sent by an Arduino or something else with a clock. It will pass through the body a short electrostatic discharge needed to shock the body that would be painful but not causing any injury.

Not an electrician. This may be useful, but without warranty.

Gzip is slower and outputs larger compression ratio. Zstandard, on the other hand, is terribly faster than any of the existing standards in means of compression speed, this is its killer feature. Also, it provides a bit better compression ratio than gzip ^{citation_needed}.

Yes, but only if everyone adhere to CommonMark version of Markdown.
