Ubuntu Karmic Koala. To be fair, I was a kid and that was, according to people on the Internet, the most likely to work. And so it did - it had out of the box support for my wifi adapter, which some other distros I tried later did not, I had to use something called ndiswrapper. Of course I did not yet know about compiling my own configured kernel, that came a month or 2 later.

I only stayed on Ubuntu for a while, then tried Mint, used that on and off for years, dabbled with Arch at some point, too. In the last 5 years I’ve used PopOs, Gentoo, OpenSuse, NixOS. I’m not gonna bother with capitalization and punctuation on some of these.

!selfhosted@lemmy.world and find yourself so many projects at home you’ll never find time for anything but computers again :)

Fair enough, but you COULD create a compiler for a a subset of the language without eval. There are so many dialects of Scheme, what’s one without eval? Evals are very much evil anyway.

Technically there’s no such thing as a compiled or interpreted language. Python compilers exist. You could write a Scheme or Lisp compiler. Racket is a Scheme that can be interpreted or compiled

Just wait for snap 2.0 which actually runs everything inside docker containers /s

Exactly my point. Most of us customize our setup one way or another, usually. Few of us are ricers in the traditional sense.

Oooh so I’m not the only one who uses (used) refind with Gentoo!

And extra ambiguity for people talking about polishing their deck while also pronouncing it as dick>

Ricing isn’t exactly the same as personalized though.

Ricing when it comes to cars is putting on a giant wing and a huge muffler on a Honda Civic.

Ricing in the Gentoo community is turning on every compiler optimization flag for the main portage config file without knowing what they’re doing, potentially actually de-optimizing your setup.

There’s an element of “overdone” involved usually whenever someone is called a ricer.

I think you missed a B

Wine already exists and can run pretty new Windows software. A fork also exists for MacOS and the other BSDs can also run Wine.

Running Windows apps on Linux natively seems impractical to me, the OSes are structured very differently and I’m fairly sure this would introduce many hard to fix CVEs.

ReactOS does actually submit patches to wine sometimes because they use parts of wine! But they have their own windows-like kernel so they only need wine for userland, not the whole thing

I’ve worked with NIH VCS. Never again lol, I’ll stick to git until something else becomes so universally recognized that people en masse start jumping ship.

I do believe that some companies look at certs for sysadmin roles. As a requirement not a boost and you’d likely need more than just Linux certs then. Probably also some Cisco and stuff.

LDS?

I doubt they want my fun and safe math optimizations either tbh

Brave of you to say it on ml where a lot of people support Putin’s goal of restoring the empire.

The Bankman fried the clients.

Sam’s the Bankman.

You can also use a distro with more up to date packages. But not if you need Debian’s stability of course.

Oh I thought it was already implied that Ubuntu is shit lol
