Can’t wait for Need for Clicks 2077!

From what I hear, doas is more secure. I don’t think it matters though, as long as you keep your system updated. I use sudo still.

What will the boys at Linux Incorporated come up with next?

That code has a werewolf in it!

Giving off a lot of mixed signals with this one, lol 😅

Oh yeah, for sure

What’s funny about this comic now is the second one has become very attainable in the years since it was released. The concept still applies though. Some things are a lot harder than they seem on the surface.

Because money

This question doesn’t make much sense to me. What is a “system update”? Isn’t that just updating all of your packages at once?

I would think syncing the repos and emerging the @world set would be considered a system update. But I guess that is a bit different from how most distros do it.

Since OpenWrt is just Buildroot with networking libraries and a package manager, I would say Buildroot itself would be an even smaller Linux. Whether it’s been condemned to eternal torment is another matter entirely, though, lol

Nice! Might be helpful for SBCs with a MIPI camera slot as well

Makes it so when you install packages with pip, it will only work if it’s using a virtual environment. This keeps any installed packages separate from ones your system uses.

If you want to learn about python virtual environments, check this out.

It might last a little longer if they don’t burn themselves out. Just my two cents, though

Sometimes I copy and paste an awk command from online, but I can never remember how to write it myself

You need to pick a project to start out so you have a goal, then from there it’s just google searches for each individual part.

I started learning in High School because I wanted to create a game. I had learned a little bit of Java from a book my dad gave me, but I was kind of in the same spot as you at first where I didn’t know how to do anything other than follow along with the book.

But once I sat down with my goal to make a game, and just started Googling stuff, that’s when it started to click.

Python has easy syntax, so that might be a good place to start. You could google: “Python game library” and it would pull up something like PyGame. Then you could look up “Pygame tutorial” which would give you a baseline on how to set up a window, etc. If you have a hard time with Python fundementals, you could just google “python for loop” or “python functions”.

That’s pretty much what my learning process looked like: start with a goal, google how to get started, google each problem as it comes up. I still follow that same process to this day, and I have a CS degree now.

At the end of the day, it’s a skill just like anything else. Just takes practice. I don’t think anyone is too dumb to learn it, but it depends on how much you want it. If it’s not worth the effort for you then you probably never will.

Seems like this would be pretty useful! Thanks for sharing!

I don’t really care either way. I like things to be more minimal, but I’m not really anti-systemd or anything like that. I’ve just been using openrc for a few years now, and haven’t used systemd enough to learn about the homed stuff I guess

I don’t even know what that stuff is, so I guess my answer is that I just don’t use it 🤷‍♂️

I just use the defaults for everything, haha! Just grub2 for the bootloader, openrc for the init system.

By “home” do you mean DE/WM? If so, I use dwm for my laptop and sway for my desktop.

Gentoo. Been using it for over 3 years now, and I haven’t found a reason to leave yet.
