That depends on what your goals are. And with Gentoo you can have a lot more elaborate goals than with other distros. Mine, for example, was to get rid of initramfs. I spent a week compiling and recompiling the kernel with different configurations before I was able to see a TTY for the first time.
Of course you can grab your distribution kernel and get default and perfectly safe use flags for everything, but, I would still be an Arch user if that was my jam.
I switched from Arch to Gentoo, for me it’s just the next step of taking advantage of every last bit of my hardware. But unless you are seriously invested, I would never recommend Gentoo to someone. If you just want something that’s up to date, go with Fedora. If you have some spare time, go with Arch. If you have no hobbies at all, go with Gentoo.
I wouldn’t recommend vanilla Arch only because of the installation process. CachyOS that simplifies it is an extremely good pick for a person who already knows what a computer is, but wants to try a proper OS.
Arch mostly got it’s reputation in the early days. Today some things are a lot easier to do on Arch than on other distros, especially because AUR exists. Also, it built one of the best wikis over all that time.
That’s why we disable it and move everything that the program needs access to manually into the prefix, right?
For anyone having the copy-paste skill issue, try Ctrl+Shift+C and Ctrl+Shift+V.
TUI is a subset of GUI that uses text in a terminal to render UI elements. It does not make automation any easier. What you want is called CLI.
Yea, when I switched to Linux, at first I installed PowerShell to get something familiar, but quickly realized that contrary to Windows, terminal on Linux is actually usable on it’s own out of the box.
Looks like a perfectly normal “Enter” key on an ANSI keyboard. Why the confusion?
uninstalls the kernel package
I would not recommend someone who does not know what they are doing replacing the DE, the process heavily varies depending on your current setup. If you want Ubuntu with KDE, just use Kubuntu.
SteamVR runs terribly on Linux, Monado/WiVRn is pretty playable.
I prefer to drag my friends toward games without integrated rootkits. Better for them, better for me. Thankfully, there are plenty of games to choose from today.
If something does not work, mostly it either has a kernel level anticheat or it’s Adobe. I just learned to live without these, I think it’s for the best. You can even do VR on Linux nowadays!
If you confused period and fax intentionally, I commend the effort.
Considering vibe is probalby float, I doubt any exceptions can be thrown there, you can eliminate another useless scope.
Even if it’s not float, I’d consider burning alive anyone who overrides an operator like this anyway.
Original, because sharing xkcd without alt text is a crime: https://xkcd.com/2501
I only remember useful things. And I consider these useful because I did some low level graphics programmed once and had to use them in practice. Once you understand why these things exist, it becomes that much easier.
If someone didn’t learn enough trigonometry in school:
1+tan2c = cos2c/cos2c + sin2c/cos2c = (cos2c + sin2c)/cos2c = 1/cos2c;
sqrt(1/cos2c) = |sec c|
The reading of the answer is very similar to the word “sexy”, which makes the whole sentence a reference to the song “Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO.
Well, on the side of easy ones there is “if the last digit is divisible by 2, whole number is divisible by 2”. Also works for 5. And if you take last 2 digits, it works for 4. And the legendary “if it ends with 0, it’s divisible by 10”.
The divisability rule for 7 is that the difference of doubled last digit of a number and the remaining part of that number is divisible by 7.
E.g. 299’999 → 29’999 - 18 = 29’981 → 2’998 - 2 = 2’996 → 299 - 12 = 287 → 28 - 14 = 14 → 14 mod 7 = 0.
It’s a very nasty divisibility rule. The one for 13 works in the same way, but instead of multiplying by 2, you multiply by 4. There are actually a couple of well-known rules for that, but these are the easiest to remember IMO.
Inconsolata LGC with nerd-fonts. I edit all my text and code in Helix, a TUI editor, and having proper support for Cyrillic and Greek is important for me. Also, I like how it looks.
