Op isn't answering shit
Just like Linux
- sh.itjust.works was having issues.
  
  The irony
  
  I actually left that instance just because it was always having issues...
  
  Shit.just.wont.works.most.of.the.time.but.not.every.time
- Return code 0 is good.
Should I dual boot?
- Of course... what sane person doesn't wear both boots 🤨.
  
  People missing a leg
  
  The ones that wear one boot inside another. Only a single boot on each foot suffices.
- I don't recommend it, the more boots you use the heavier your computer will be. I've got mine down to half a boot and I'm working on getting it down to a quarter.
  
  some clearly hasnt heard of a bootless system
  
  lol 🤣🤣🤣, this one is better than my answer 🤣.
Why is it that ever since upgrading Fedora I need to restart the pipewire daemon every time I plug/unplug headphones or else media freezes?
- Because the sound goes through pipes and you need to let them rest, otherwise they might burst from the sound pressure.
  
  Hmm.. well that makes actually a lot of sense. Thanks!
- Because you also need to install Trenchcoat for it to work
  
  You forgot the Katana plugin.
- Have you checked the logs?
- One thing that works for me on Pop OS is to switch audio device in the settings, it's like the buffer gets filled up and switching device flushes it.
- Something similar is happening to me on Manjaro. Semms the newest pipewire update made it so it doesn't auto-route devices to the main sound output anymore...
The community told me that using Arch would turn me into a cute femboy. It's been a decade and I'm still as large and hairy as I was back then.
My question is who should I sue for this false advertisement?
- Linus. He is responsible for making Linux, in general, so Arch had to use that kernel. If Linux never existed, you might've naturally become a femboy.
- Sorry, this is a kerning issue. Cute FERNboy.
- I installed arch last night and woke up with nail polish on.
- Oh fk now thinking about it, me starting to use an Arch based distro and starting going to laser epilation pretty much happened at the same time period. Save me..
  
  Can I interest you in showing you the ways of our lord and saviour, Jesus Christ?
Was linux created by linus tech tips?
- Yes... most probably.
  
  Linux sex tips
- No it was created by his good twin Linux tech tips
  
  this weeks episode is why you should compile everything from source
  
  Who waits for family reunion?
What does the GNU stands for in Linux?
- Going to Nut in Unix
  
  Correct
- Chaos
What's the cp command?
- It does creepy pedo things on your files.
  
  Except for PDF files, they're kindred spirits.
- it sends your files directly to the communist party of china
Can Linux be used as a sex toy?
- well... it sure is a possibility
  
  Good thing it's written in rust. Memory leaks and race conditions are my two biggest fears while buttplug shopping.
  
  Jfc!
- Yes.
Why do Linux users hate Nvidia?
- Because Nvidia hates Linux users. They're just returning the favor.
  
  That is surprisingly accurate
  
  That's literally just correct. Are you sure you don't know your Linux lore?
What is ":(){ :|:& };:"
- That is what happens when none of your alphabet keys on your keyboard are working, but you still wanna communicate online.
- An alias for "sudo shutdown now"
- A funny command that gives you free chocolate
- An emoticon with a weird hat
  
  which part is the face and which part is the hat?
- A text based Rorschach test. That one is clearly a mouse chasing a cat.
- Try it in your terminal and come back here to tell us the results
- Shut up, we don't need no Cthulhu here.
- Emergency breaks
Which one is it?
“Ask me anything about it and I’ll try to answer”
OR
“Ask me anything about IT and I’ll try to answer”
- Take your pick, I'm feeling generous today.
  
  What does IT stands for?
- The clown
  
  Touché! I was thinking Information Technology, but you win with Pennywise twist.
What is a bootloader and why would anyone want to load boots?
- Cuz... where else are you gonna put your load 🤨...
  
  Ayo? 🤨
- You load your boots after installing Java in the the morning
What's the penguins name?
Can you explain network sockets to me?
- They're just regular sockets that do most of the work... the net thing is just added to complicate things.
  
  As a network engineer I can confirm
  
  Now what about network socks?
What are programmer socks?
- They're socks that programmers usually wear when they're out, not programming, because everyone needs socks when they go out. But, programmers felt underappreciated if their socks are called just like everyone elses socks, so they changed their name by adding programmer in front.
- They are soft material artifacts that protect and warm up the programmer’s feet.
- Programming-improving device
how is the x org x server related to x formerly known as twitter?
- It's his second cousin from his aunt's sister in law side.
- wayland.social
- They're distant cousins, but they avoid each other at family reunions
How do I change the language to EN-US on redstar os?
- You don't. It's designed to be unchagable. Only the supreme leader can change that.
  
  🫡
  
  sudo = supreme leader do
- In the locale picker it's called YEE-HAW not EN-US 👍
- Follow up: how to change to french on templeOS?
  
  You have to recode the kernel in french.
So someone suggested to me that Linux is amazing for gaming.
I decided to split boot and installed Mint and attempted to play Forza Horizon 5. It literally runs like a potato. Also my Logitech steering wheel doesn't work and has major input lag.
Since you know so little about Linux, my question is what are you having for dinner?
- Have no idea, still haven't had breakfast...
- I don’t use a wheel but FH5 does work well here.
  
  I think my Nvidia mobile 3070ti card is being funky. I think I got it to run better after trying some ideas online, but there are lag spikes and the steering wheel still didn't work. Just deleted Mint and decided against Linux gaming for now
I'd like you to guess which one of these is fake:
1. How do I install Hyprland on NixOS using Flakes?
2. How do I install systemd-dispatcher on Void Linux RC?
Edit:
- Whichever one is fake could be real tomorrow.
  
  do you have any idea the shitstorm that would go down in the Void Linux forums
  
  There is always an alternate reality
- They are both fake. Neither of them show up any results on google searches.
- You’re good. I know one of these is definitely real, but the other one is plausible enough to make me think both are real
- If you didn't tell me one of these were fake I would never have questioned it.
  
  Honestly, just because one is nonsense, it wouldn't mean it's fake. I've read help forums.
- Not OP but I know which one is fake because I remember actually doing the other one haha
- ...Neither?
Who is Linus and why does he Torvalds

What is the best init system?
- The system that lets you in it.
  
  Are you sure you don't know anything? 🤨
  
  Ngl this is a good one for real
  
  Absolutely true!
  
  Truly. My favorite is OpenRC though.
- It's the title of my personal book of pick up lines.
- Don't install it if you want to keep your sanity. The opposite if you don't.
- DONT waste your time with quirks mode
  DO find a new job
  Speaking from personal experience
No questions on how to exit vim 🤔 🤨?
- Because the people are stuck in VIM
- From another terminal:
  ps ax | grep vim | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -- kill -9
- I haven't used vim since collage (I'm currently a aarp member) isn't it "cntrl-x" ?
  
  that is nano
- the only way to exit vim is to unplug your pc
  
  Correct!
- You press the X button.
Is red hat a good or a bad influence on the ecosystem?
- Well, red is darker than white, so if everyone wears red hats, then global warming will most definitely rise.
What is the best distro and why is it Debian?
- Because Debbie is a woman, and we all know why Ian made it the best distro, happy wife happy life.
  
  My favorite Metallica song is Seek an Destro.
  
  That is true! I assume Debra had Debbie as a nickname sometimes, full points.
What kernel parameters should I use?
- All of them, just to be sure
- The parameters that suite your needs.
Why do some specific Nvidia grafic cards require that you use legacy BIOS to start up your linux, while it works flawlessly on macOS using EFI??
- Because Apple has money and revenue, and Linux doesn't.
  
  😮 I did not expect such accurate answers, lol
- It's easiest if I just link you to the Wikipedia article on money. Here
- Which cards?
What's openSUSE? Is closedSUSE its cousin?

Wanna fsck?

If you cat a log, what would tail report?

What does L.I.N.U.X stand for
- Linux Is Not Uni X
  
  I like that
- Linus Is Nuts, Use X
Which Linux distribution should I run on my Arduino Uno for maximum performance?
What is flatpak?
- A really flat pancake.
- IKEA furniture
- It's a type of Kool-Aid that everybody's been drinking recently
  
  My appoligies, this answer is more correct than mine.
- A flapjack is a comic character
- A packaging format for linux
  
  You sure you don't know anything about Linux 🤨?
What is GNOME?

Where is the start button?
- Right next to the reset button usually.
- Top left!
what is cinnamon forked from?
- Cinnamon trees
How many boot loaders do I need to boot the loader?

Why do people use Ubuntu with snaps?
- Because it'll snap if you don't.
  
  Many of these answers are so on spot, I wonder if OP have reached enlightenment without realizing.
- Because its the default
- Why do people use snaps on other Distros?
  Wait! Distros?
What are the advantages of pacman?
- Well, you have only 4 controls for him, up, down, left, right, whereas, let's say Mario, also has fire and jump, so that's 2 controls more, which makes pacman simpler, thus faster.
- He eats all the pellets i dropped on the ground and can get rid of ghosts
  
  Also makes cute sounds and blinks on special occasions
- It's free and open source, unlike Microsoft's proprietary Ms. Pacman
- None
How many orbs do you need to use to make it show the yellow screen?
- 5 to 10, depends on the shade of yellow you'd like to get.
- the first orb brings you to the first level
What does sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root do? I found it on some sketchy article.

Is this anime chat? How to patch KDE2 under FreeBSD?

Why do so many nerds say my sister Vi is their favorite?

What is a Distro?
- A distro is a set of applications preinstalled on a Linux kernel that don't seem to work as expected. Debugging tools usually don't come preinstalled with the distro.
- I don't recommend them, they just cause arguments online
- it is a tribe, they have conflicting ideas and ideologies apart from that Linux and FOSS is great, everything else is contestable. There is a hierarchy in the tribes with strong links to there initiation ritual. You are free to change tribe as much as you want or even be in multiple tribes but when war breaks out you must defend your tribe.
  I am in the Arch, Debian and Alpine tribes.
  
  They allowed you in all of them 😱? You sneaky devil, I bet you hide you're in the other tribes 😏.
What are the important, distinguishing differences between RHEL8 and REHL9 one should probably know.
- One is divisible by 3 and not 2, and the other is divisible by 2 and not 3
  This is very important when checking if your software packages are compatible
  
  Correct!
  
  Explain this
Why did I have to burn multiple install CDs before finally getting one to work back in 2013?
- For the same reason I had to buy a stack of floppies to install it in the 90's
  
  Good thing floppes were dirt cheap back then.
  
  I think you have a little bit of solder flux stuck in your gray beard on the left side... No, other left.
  
  Weren't floppy's relatively rewritable? Why did you have to buy multiple instead of simply trying multiple times?
- Because not all distros work with their respective boot floppies. I gather you finally realized that in 2013.
Is it pronounced 'Sue-Due" or "Pseudo"?

What should I do to use shared-memory communication from user-space on an immutable system?
- You should try and download some RAM from the user-space. Regarding the system, you should really switch to a muted one, I was extatic when my system stopped bitching all the time.
- It should be fine
- There's an EMACS plug-in for this
What do I do if I accidentally remove grub
- You go hungry
- You become a happier person.
Nano or vim?

How do you reverse the bit-stream scalar using the systemd fractional scaling initializer?
- There's an EMACS plugin to do it.
- You remove the scalar with pliers, then do some welding work on the initilalizer to get it to the proper shape (systemd is known to have unstandard sizes of shape and size plugs). Then, you chop the bit-stream into single bits and insert them one by one into the initializer, hold them there, then plug the initializer in systemd and let the bits fall in it. EZ
xfce: what should it stand for?
- X Fucks Custom Enhancements
- Xtra Feral Computing Elements
- x-face. because using it makes u go X(

Is this the year of linux?
- I think that's 2038
  
  wrong! its this year, for real this time
  
  That would be second year of Unix
- It's close. Last year, 49.3% of Pornhub visits were made from a Linux-based OS.
  BSD-based systems were 46.7%, for a total Unix-like market share of 96%.
  
  Which basically means that all geeks do is watch porn 🤨?
  Well, I do, but I didn't expect there were so many.
- Probably... maybe... not sure...
- No. It's the the year of the Dinux Lesktop.
What does the X stand for?

Why not systemd?

Hum... Ok.
Why does systemd have a directory of active scripts if it needs to activate the scripts on its internal configuration too?
- Why do birds fly? Only god knows...
- Ever since the strike ended, the Directors can greenlight any script they want.
- Because that's how it was designed
Last time I installed Kubuntu I was stopped by an seemingly undealable-with overscan issue, like 20% of the view was outside the screen and NVIDIA control panel sucked. So I had to go back to Windows after like half a week of googling and no dice, it was unacceptable. Thoughts?
- You should try ball busting
- You need to set the image in the monitor to the left or right (depending which side was being cut off).
  
  Not an option with this TV. And it was all sides. It was easily fixable on Windows, I somehow figured it out on Raspberry PI OS and Kodi. But the Linux NVIDIA configuration had like one slider and I have no idea what is that even suppose to do. Shows how much they care.
What does sudo apt-get do?
- The Asynchronious Packaging Template simply collects shit from other people that were kind enough to make that shit for apt. The get part is recursive, it tries numerious times till it gets what it wants.
How do I set up a VNC server from my Manjaro machine? If anyone wants to give a real answer I'd appreciate that too!
- The real asnwer is, you don't. Manjaro is an Italian based distro, and we all know how much Italians work in real life, so this distro doesn't really work either. Your best choice is to ditch Manjaro and use TempleOS for your VNC server.
- Nice instance
  
  I can only see ssh sharing there, no remote desktop option. And I am using GNOME.
Are you bored?

What does chmod do?
- It changes the mood. One o is missing from it because the main dev was Russian and really bad at spelling in English.
- My pet theory is that it is a weapon designed for me personally to shorten my lifespan by means of elevated blood pressure while I try and set up and maintain an instance of paperless-ngx via docker compose and a Wi-Fi document scanner.
  
  Jesus Christ I just threw up in my mouth a little.
This post and your replies are amazing.
How can I Linux?

- _{how do i use cp}
- _{how do i kill all children of a parent}
- _{how do i remove orphans}

Should we say GNU/Linux instead of Linux if we're referring to the whole OS ?
- I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, Systemd/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Systemd plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning EMACS plugin made useful by Systemd.
- No, because Linux can work even without GNU. You just have to recompile everything against musl.
  
  The mask has fallen.
- LiGNUx is a hill I'm entrenched and ready to die on.
- No. Otherwise where's the limit? GNU/Linux/systemd/Xorg/i3/Firefox/kakoune?
  
  What if i call it GNU and put the limit there
- Is GNU really just unix in disguise?
  
  Well, it stands for GNU's Nearly UNIX, so probably
Actually it’s GNU/Linux. Just kidding. I am not that guy.
- Actually you are not that gnu
- Aktually it's GNU+Linux
what is a arch
What does man touch do?

How do you exit vim, and more importantly why would you even want to exit vim?

What's a fork?

Why is Hyprland the only good Wayland compositor?
- Because it's hyper 🤷.
- It isn't
  crowd goes wild
- Because GNOME keeps sabotaging Wayland.
  Serious answer: because Vaxry (Hyprland owner) didn't want to wait for Wayland protocols to be approved by the big players (but more likely vetoed by GNOME and Weston), and made his own implementations with blackjack and hookers. He even made his own xdg-desktop-portal implementation to get screen recording to work.
Zast ruley?

What does L.I.N.U.X. stand for?
Why is Windows playing nice with Linux nowadays?

Wtf is this shit
