Germany, Czechia and Austria are usually placed in Central Europe

Come on, we used to be Czechoslovakia, remember us. We Slovakians also want to be called Central Europe.

Problem is, Linux Mint installer says nothing about that as far as I recall, and just offers a convenient slider to allocate space between Windows and Linux.

And that was my first computer. Yeah, I am relatively new to computers.

But hey, I only lasted with Windows for 2 days. In Windows 10 I couldn’t even wrap my head around when to use Control Panel and when settings, because look, mature OS, we have Settings 1 and Settings 2.
In comparison, Linux Mint 20 MATE was far simpler, so having really used neither, I went with the easier one. However, that doesn’t mean I had any idea what I was doing. I didn’t even understand the concept of partitions.
Just imagine a total newbie.
“Where is the file stored?”
“On… the computer…?”

Just boot partition?

I once installed Linux Mint by shrinking Windows 10 partition in Linux against the recommendations. On first Windows boot it seemed fine, except that C: was still showing the old size.
On next Windows reboot it got annihilated with “Repairing drive C:”.

That’s why I say “for future people”.

For the future people, who will be curious what is actually under that number: https://github.com/archlinux/archinstall/issues/4269

I’d like something like on Cisco equipment.

Tab completes a command
? prints possible options with brief descriptions, filtered by starting letters if you already typed anything
if there is just one option left, you can just use it directly, so you can write shortened commands (similar to ip commands on Linux)

Well, that is an available preset too: https://virt.moe/cferr/wxqcqcd

That github link randomly redirects me to https://virt.moe/cferr/editor/

Huh?

Edit: No I am just a fucking idiot. I thought “Github Website” was a single link, not 2 links.

What a lousy name.

I cannot even tell apart many videos now.

I probably got something like that. I am not really into minimal installs, kde-applications-meta and plasma-meta is what I go with. Absolutely everything.

I just wish I could safely use KDE Discover for updates. That’s probably what would work with “apply updates on reboot”, which sounds like the safest option. But for some reason packagekit-qt6 which would (probably) make this possible is not recommended to use.

Preferably I’d go with something like KDE Neon or Kubuntu. I just really like KDE. But there’s just no sweet spot for me. Arch gives me new packages with all the bugs. Each update feels scary, what will I discover. Based on my Timeshift notes, last point without major bugs was 31st of October. Something like Linux Mint was stable, but I was missing some newer packages, and even drivers when my laptop was new. And major version upgrades also feel scary. Although, I don’t even know how they work. This is where Arch makes more sense to me. Linux as desktop OS is really just a huge bunch of packages working together, and they slowly get updated. When packaged into an entire OS, how do you even define a version?

Until it does not.

Thankfully I don’t even trust TPM, so I just use regular passphrase unlock. This has added benefit of password expiration if unused (I will forget it eventually).

I don’t think I’ve ever used that much mobile data.

I only use mobile data, but…
My record so far is 591GB in a month.
Last month I used 451GB, this month (since Nov. 16th) I am so far at 347GB.

When I was trying Gentoo I very much didn’t forget, I went I want them all. But I ended at my first attempt. It was bootable, but I was missing network drivers, and on old Core 2 Duo the compilation already took 3 days.

Now that’s something I must try.

Considering that Slovakian road workers are surprised by snow during winter every winter, yes, I do drift.

Cisco coming up with ARF and WRF to make that false.

OK, here’s a somewhat famous case of email that could only be sent within something over 500 miles, but no further: https://web.mit.edu/jemorris/humor/500-miles
