Linux ask game
1 - what was your first distro? 2 - what was your biggest linux fuckup? 3 - have you ever run rm / on real hardware? 4 - do you dual boot or have a secondary machine with windows? 5 - did you change your default shell? 6 - are you afraid of git? 7 - what was the first machine you installed linux on? 8 - do you know your way around vim keybinds? 9 - what is your favourite non-os software? 10- biggest linux pet peeve? 11- biggest annoyance with the community? 12- do you like your current distro? 13- Xenia or Tux? 14- what software are you never using again? 15- stock distro or hours of yak shaving? 16- have you compiled the kernel?
If we count me playing around with virtual machines as a kid, Ubuntu or Debian. But if we mean first full installation, it was Arch.
2. To be honest, I have never really fucked up anything too bad. I guess that one time i removed all my configs and didn't have a back up? ( I thought i had a backup. )
3. Nope.
4. No.
5. I use ZSH, does that count as different than bash?
6. Not at all. I find it really useful, actually.
7. Old Lenovo laptop, don't know what the model was.
8. Yes.
9. Difficult question, but Librewolf, I guess?
10. I can't really think of any, to be honest. All of the bigger "problems" I have had just boil down to user error/cluelessness, which i cant blame linux itself for.
11. Governing. Let people do what they want and like. I personally like a bare-bones system and could never touch something like Fedora or Mint, but that's no reason for me to tell people they Should Not Use It. Oh, and Canonical. Lets kill Canonical.
12. Yes. After distro hopping for a while (Arch, NixOS, Debian, etc. ) I decided to actually go through with gentoo, and i never looked back. I am very content with it. The amount of space it takes up ( my current system only takes up 30GB of my 1T drive! ), and the ability to never install anything you don't need via USE flags is possibly the best thing ever.
13. Very close, but Xenia wins.
14. Bottles. They added a "helper" called eagle which looked suspicious, and after looking at their website, it's very obvious that its all garbage AI writing. This is the most recent example, I frequently drop and abandon software on the drop of a hat if they do something i don't like.
15. Seeing as how the "stock" version of my distro would just be a TTY, days of yak shaving. Weeks even.
16. Yes, gentoo-source. But I don't actually use it. I was just curious what the process was.
