Or are you just not sure how to spell it, so you inserted a placeholder?

Why did you censor the word “French?”

That’s the thing, this isn’t AI slop.

This is using the tools for their intended purpose, rather than trying to use them to replace human-written code.

The easiest way to be sure might be to check it yourself.

If Linux is already installed on these machines, run Hardinfo2. It will tell you specifically how many lanes each slot has. It should also report back on lots of hardware capabilities.

If drives are installed, you can benchmark them yourself.

*the light side

Not just before. Also after.

Yeah, I’ve had a couple Parker pens since I was a kid. And I still use a beat-up metal Cross pen that was my grandfather’s.

Overall you are correct.

But standard Parker and Cross can refills have been the same for longer than I’ve been alive. Very easy to get.

In that case, no. Like the other responder said, those are just some dependency packages.

Lots of software uses packages made by Gnome. These are simply dependencies for other software you’re installing.

Are you asking if installing them will add the Gnome desktop environment?

And nothing of value was lost.

If whales are fish, then so are coelacanths.

Or maybe I should be allowed to use a device I purchase however I damn well please.

No. It’s a loss for everybody. It doesn’t save grandma, and it prevents power users from using the device they own.

That’s what’s great about reality: it doesn’t matter if you’re convinced.

Breaking news: people age

Spyware is not a virus because it does not self-replicate.

I mean, duh. Eggs don’t come out of the mouth.

Technically, everything about those games is stupid. Aside from the fact they are fun, I mean.

See, you say that as a Linux user.

Ordinary folks don’t talk or think like Linux people. Nobody understands what a “process” is, let alone what a container is or what isolation means.

And if somebody is used to “pres butan get bacon” anything else is going to sound like gobbledygook.

Also: a modern distro running gnome or KDE is harder to screw up. Folks don’t need to use clunky package managers like Synaptics. As a result, they are less likely to break things.
