Where is dwm?

Wow, you are taking this to another level

It’s not a take, that was their actual reasoning behind it. Gabe knew Microsoft well, as a former employee.

I had a printer I could not in my life make work on a Windows PC (2017). Then I tried my Ubuntu laptop, no drivers installed, just worked.

removed Windows.

Oh boy, I know where I’m losing my next free weekend

Gentoo is the best!

Build flags are absolute godsent.

Ever wondered how much removed goes into your software? How many packages include blutooth or CD drivers? Well, you would be suprised.

LibreOffice REQUIRES MySQL client (or MariaDB), and you can’t build it without it. Sounds weird? Then you have no idea what happens inside your packages.

So which distro do you use? Plan9 was never completed I think?

Just use Gentoo mate /s

So it’s Linux vs Windows

You can run Wine and it will probably work better than on Windows.

Laughs in Gentoo

dwm or cli

I did have to compile Wifi dongle driver, since I moved and didn’t have cable in my work room. That was annoying as hell.

At first I thought I missed a driver in kernel compilation, but then my SO had the same issue in Mint. Luckily I was prepared.

But yeah, I have more sanity with Gentoo than I ever did with Windows. The other commenter probably hasn’t used Linux or something.

There is a distcc/d for having compile hosts with cache, which directly links to just a binary package host - essentially set up flags once, compile everything to your liking, and download within your network.

When you have multiple Gentoo machines, you compile soft once and distribute it. You would be mad to compile everything every time.

I mean, it can be the ONLY game you ever play ;)

Dwarf Fortress.

But you need to read the wiki :)

Calamity.

It’s like a second game.

I can’t believe people don’t add it to the recommendation every time.

Finish Terraria, get Calamity, go nuts.

removeding trains, man

Which is something I always try to explain to juniors: writing code is cool, but for your sake learn how to READ code.

Not just understanding what it does, but what was it all meant to do. Even reading your own code is a skill that needs some focus.

Side note: I hate it to my core when people copy code mindlessly. Sometimes it’s not even a bug, or a performance issue, but something utterly stupid and much harder to read. But because they didn’t understand it, and didn’t even try, they just copy-pasted it and went on. Ugh.
