This is also the basic starting point for fixing many boot problems; boot from live USB, mount system partitions, chroot into temporary environment. Most problems are fairly easy to fix if you can just get to a command line.

A pivotal moment in my life was when I first installed Linux to the entire hard disk instead of a separate partition.

Sarcoidosis maybe?

The turning point for me was when they started making a Windows-style start menu with web search enabled by default.

Ubuntu was my gateway into Linux, but man I’m glad I ditched it years ago.

Same. I grew up eating habanero and jalapeno peppers, but Thai and Indian hits different.

When my wife and talk about spice level, we clarify if it’s white-boy spicy or Hispanic spicy.

Agreed. The wiki is so good that I refer to it to fix problems on completely different distros. Also, the archinstall script is basically a TUI installer. Anyone who can install Debian can install Arch.

One of my biggest mistakes was ordering “spicy” level Thai food. Took me about a week to finish it because I could only handle one bite every few hours.

To be honest, I’m just running HML as a live image from a USB drive. This computer normally runs Arch. I got the webcam working when I first installed Arch, but it broke at some point and I haven’t had the energy to fix it. The AUR has the proprietary firmware, and drivers are part of the kernel, so I’m not sure what the issue is.

This logic can be applied to many hobbies, frankly.

This is what my i3 desktop looks like, just in black. I hate explaining to people why there’s no taskbar or icons.

This looks like ammo cook-off, which is a known problem with the Merkava. Drone got a lucky hit on the ammo stored in the turret.

The carpentry is actually pretty good.

Dunno why you’re getting down-voted, this song fits perfectly.

Let’s ask Richard Stallman to explain Linux.

But Debian… Really? A man of your talents?

Fabulous

DE is very important to me, however I’m on the side of extreme minimalism with a focus on the keyboard instead of mouse. I want my graphical environment to respond instantaneously to my commands, and I don’t like having to use the mouse for simple tasks like launching programs. I also use tiled layouts and multiple desktops extensively. I hate having to alt+tab to find the window I need - I want to just quickly move to the right desktop with a keyboard shortcut. I switched to i3 a few years ago and love it. I’ll admit though, this is not the DE that should be advertised to new Linux users.
