"Stop talking about this, you making videos about this that's bad, you don't develop protocols. Leave the project alone!11" What a fucking miserable group of losers, holy fuck. The fact they treat even him like this with his mild lukewarm critiques (despite also shilling Wayland) should tell you anything you need to know about the communications skills of these "devs". - Also:

I would never download any package that claimed to be a dubious "fix" for anything from the AUR of all places. Also, what the fuck? A binary for a patch? Not doing a very good job naming your malware.

Completely agree.

Good.
 
Linux (all distros) have a tons of problems with power management and booting up services. Generally the more stuff you add on to your system the gayer it will be about it. Unlike Windows and Mac OS which do this far more elegantly.

Install the wrong service? Now it takes an additional 1-2 minutes to get to login. Yay. In my experimentation with Yubikey and biometric this is an additional issue as it also takes a lot longer to come back from sleep because of this.

Is it true that if you use a dual boot system with linux and windows on one drive that a windows update could possibly corrupt grub?

I think that might be a MBR issue and one that doesn't translate to EFI systems but I could be wrong. On EFI systems the windows bootloader gets installed alongside grub on the EFI partition, on MBR systems one or the other resides on the bootloader sector of the drive but here can't be both

So if I had two drives and 1 with windows installed and the other was completely fresh drive that I wanted to install linux on, for example mint Would grub be installed on the drive with windows efi partition?

Ideally you want to install grub on the same drive the OS is on no matter what, except in edge cases like if the drive is a special drive that the motherboard can't boot directly from, like a M.2 drive in a PCIe adapter on an old computer. EFI won't particularly care which drives they are on as when Windows updates it's bootloader it doesn't effect grub
 
I'm cross-posting this for those who don't follow the OSS thread because I find it particularly funny (re: fags at Debian sweeping "offensive" text from 2004-era CLI packages):

I'm looking into the cowsay thing and the "offensive" package in Trixie/Sid only contains 3 cows now:
/usr/share/cowsay/cows/beavis.zen.cow
/usr/share/cowsay/cows/bong.cow
/usr/share/cowsay/cows/mutilated.cow

The "offensive" cows still in the repos

These cock gargling pussies think an ASCII picture of Beavis is offensive! :lol: :lol: :lol:
:story:


ETA - From the (Trixie/Sid) manpages for Fortunes:
Code: 
-o     Choose  only from potentially offensive aphorisms.  The -o option
              is ignored if a fortune directory is specified.

              Please, please, please request a potentially offensive fortune if
              and only if you believe, deep in your heart, that you are willing
              to be offended. (And that you'll just quit using -o  rather  than
              give us grief about it, okay?)

              ...  let  us  keep  in mind the basic governing philosophy of The
              Brotherhood, as handsomely summarized in these words: we  believe
              in  healthy, hearty laughter -- at the expense of the whole human
              race, if needs be.  Needs be.

Generally, yes. It's not "the windows efi partition" it's just "the efi partition". As I recall Windows does the same if you do it the other way.
The installer should allow you to tell it to create a new one on the new disk and not use the existing one but I've never used Mint's installer.

Something must be very wrong with how that particular service is written. Even twenty years ago Linux didn't take over a minute to boot.

Sure but there are tons of them like that out there. Just the nature of the ecosystem.
