Absolutely. Anything can be learned and unless things build on top of each other you can’t really compare difficulties.
What downsides though right? “We” object to Ubuntu over matters like Canonical being a for-profit company or their choice of Desktop Environment. At the end of the day, who cares? If it works it works, right?
It’s an interesting angle, the hostility thing. People in the know have largely fallen out of love with Ubuntu but imho that’s not necessarily because Ubuntu fell in quality but just because so many “better” things have come up since Ubuntu 04.10. It is definitely a sound choice for non-techy people, maybe more than ever. Personally I’d prefer (almost) any contemporary desktop over Gnome these days, but I can definitely see the appeal for others in terms of simple design language.
Basically you can turn any old laptop into a Chromebook these days using Linux, and most people just like your parents most definitely do not need more than a functional webbrowser. Basically a smartphone with a larger screen and physical keyboard. Even if you don’t care about your privacy (or freedom from notification-spam) why still pay the Microsoft-tax.
Which are about as related as the knowledge required to mount drywall and the knowledge required to run a ham radio station. You tell me which is more complicated but either way there are most certainly radio amateurs out there that don’t know the first thing about handywork and handymen that could barely find the on-off switch on a broadcast-rig.
Yes @upriver4458@sh.itjust.works please save yourself dozens of future headaches by listening to this person.
oftentimes (and this is more of a general statement) throwing into google exactly what you would otherwise type into your shell of choice should get you on the right track, ie searching for “man systemctl”
as far as the inability to reboot goes, if a regular sudo reboot
can’t bring the machine back up either then this is probably a hardware issue outside the sphere of the operating system’s influence. can’t say I experienced something like that myself. I guess the closest I witnessed would be a computer that when rebooted with an old USB-Keyboard plugged in just refused to get past the POST screen. The keyboard worked fine if plugged in later, but the computer couldn’t reliably get through the boot process with the thing present. Maybe there’s a similar variable to your setup.
Yea like others have said, you’re operating under the assumption that the shortcomings of old hardware require modern revisionism. I guess what makes this particularly unattractive with that specific era of videogaming is that games ran so close to the hardware that overclocking it (in actuality or virtually) doesn’t just fix those edge cases (if at all).
Most games/software developed for chips like that of the NES rely on a predictable environment. You can’t possibly know how a specific game will react to an increase in clockspeed.
Later generations like the PS1 are less susceptible to this. Emulators of the PS1 can’t just bump the clockspeeds, they can also run at modern resolutions like 1080p and higher.
It sounds odd with the amount of information that’s in the article. Diverting and then going for two more attempts after three unsuccessful ones, maybe they did land and then took off again from the alt so they wouldn’t have to pay for everybody’s overnight stay (as they did in the end).
Obviously if that’s the case I’m not trying to take anything away from the pilots’ airmanship. They were most probably just following predetermined procedures of their employer. Wouldn’t want to be a passenger on that fourth and fifth attempt though. My SO and I were plenty startled flying into Miami with an upcoming tropical storm and we landed on the first attempt.
So they went for the alternate, didn’t (attempt to) land there and went back? Were they diverted by ATC against their will?

I bought a used old gen Sonos Connect about a year ago to integrate my Logitech Z906 into an existing pair of Sonos speakers. They made it deliberately tedious to downgrade those speakers (who had gotten the S2 “blessing”) back to S1 to make them work with the Sonos Connect. I’m an IT repair shop guy and I cursed all the way through this downgrade process.
I would have gladly bought current hardware from them again if their prices were anywhere within the realm of plausibility. Credit where it’s due, that Sonos Connect hookup with the 2 wall-mounted 1st party speakers works absolutely reliably. That company just seriously lost its bearings since they engineered those parts.
Guess the share of sane people among the totality was gravely misjudged.
How easy would it be for you to find (natural) laxatives? ChatGPT names Prunes and Kiwis, Broccoli, Almonds and Walnuts, Yogurt (the white non-sweet kind would be best)
Basically the above is just a who’s who of healthy dieting if you ask me lol. If you need high caloric density for the “eating as much as possible” part just go for anything high in fat and or sugar. Nutella would check both boxes but this is really not recommendable from a health perspective obviously.
Competitive eaters like Beard Meats Food would just chug on double cream if they wanted to get as many calories down as possible. The only “problem” there is that it doesn’t make for a very entertaining video.
Found the sister.
They often say it’s the oldest business in the world. Which might not be relevant to how we should treat it as a society today, but what seems obvious to me is that when you de-facto criminalize and discourage something the working conditions are going to suffer.
There probably isn’t a place in the world where it isn’t practiced yet we love to pretend like we’re somehow past that. Not sure how much of that is based in religion and how much is just us being in denial of our own biology-based desires in a secular modern society. Either way it is hurting people who are just as entitled to making a living as anybody else.
Does that mean you weren’t able to implement those changes or didn’t want to regress back from Wayland?
