Still true though. I’m distro-agnostic, running the best whatever for the job at hand.

When I give a presentation at a conference about something technical, the question always comes up: “Why are you running that on so-and-so? $Distro is so much better…” and their whole train of thought deviates from the subject at hand.

Point is, the tool is the tool. If Fedora is the best option given our licenses and use scenario, I don’t need to hear about how much better xyz is and how we’re wasting money.

I just want xyz to work. I don’t need the distro wars to be a thing when I’ve got 6 other more important things to attend to.

Did your computer lose its bios settings lately? Check to see if it’s set to ahci and not raid if using a single, non-raid disk.

You can try some of the suggestions at https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-can-we-fix-this-no-irq-handler-for-vector-4175692269/, too.

Good luck

Oblig. XKCD:

Fuckin autocorrect was the death of us all.

I wonder if you can get the frunk to critical velocity at the touch of a fly by constantly pumping it up like a pump action gun.

MDT works well for Windows environments. Otherwise dd or Clonezilla for Linux.

How is company X supposed to sell you model 2.0? 3? 2.0 RepairCare?

Planned obsolescence. Profits. Shareholders.

Awesome question.

The operating system, or OS, really does not care about whether it is a hard drive or a solid state drive when moving around the partitions.

Say your hard drives are pools. One is filled with molasses, and the other has water. The partitions are like the ropes in the pool. Perhaps you have no ropes. Maybe you have three, but two are so close to the wall, and each other, that only a small amount of stuff could occupy those lanes.

That leaves you with one really large lane. That’s your data partition.

Water or molasses, the ropes are the same.

Poor skill, mostly.

Reminds me of a comment I once came across in a work application’s code: “This function took forever to write correctly. It was hard work. I didn’t document it. Figure it out.”

Of course the variables were not defined properly and were named esoterically.

What about a background svg image and text area(s)?
