From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I am unsure, I feel like Google is watching me and selling my data to OP because I was only yesterday ogling a Thinkpad Yoga X1 precisely for this purpose.

T470p i5-7300hq

It was sold as a t470 i5-7300u buut the PC itself had 470p written on it and the chip I saw when swapping the thermal paste matches the i5-7300hq

Yes, because not many other things can be considered both a symptom and a cure.

And the ones who install Arch on a MacBook need extra special therapy.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (2 children)

☺️i love my arch on my macbookpro from 2009 😂

Was difficult to understand that I have to boot via legacy bios in order for the nvidia grafic to work.. But after installing grub2 via CDrom I had i done ✅ now I can boot any iso from using grub2 and don’t have to relay on CD rom anymore 🥳 Next will be a 2013 MacBookPro (with nvidia as well), as soon as my motor buys her m3 MacBookPro

This reads like a copypasta

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

just cause they use emojis?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I mean, tone does have to do with how you use a language 🗣️ and symbols to communicate, and the emojis in the middle ➡️❎⬅️ of sentences and how many there are in relation to the amount of sentences 💬 do make it kind of read like a copypasta ©️🍝

Yeah because all we really need is something to focus our rage at.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Focus the rage at something that is fixable. Good idea actually.

i ironically think than i can better handle stress than my other friends because of grub breaking my sister's laptop(dual boot) at the worses moments possible, i learned to force me to stay calm to search and read correctly how fix grub before she realized
