My only currently active machine is a laptop named buttwarmer as per my cat’s suggestion.

It’s a WIMP system. They all work the same way. Worst case you have to click around a bit.

[…] in reality they just know how it works

In my experience, they know how a few utilities and how a handful of programs work, but have no idea how Windows works. Not that many people actually know how Windows works.
Roughly figuring out the boot sequence of Linux is relatively easy once you’ve used it for a year or two. What happens when Windows boots? Who knows? kernel32 probably is involved at some point.

Linux/Unix is actually relatively simple and logical once you’ve figured it out. Windows is a messy dark maze with grues waiting at every corner to eat you.

Install Linux on…

Never mind, carry on.

Anything can be Unix if you’re willing to pay for the certification.

Gnome is doing their famous “trust us, we know better” skit again. Always a crowd pleaser.

Inxi? Mission center? What are those things?

Just run uptime like a normal person.

So, you’re saying that immutable is terrible for system uptime.

2080ti on Tumbleweed here, works flawlessly in Kde. Games also run fine. All in Wayland.

When I first learned Unix (and then Linux) I just went through /usr/bin and looked at the man page for everything.

Then I browsed through the gnu info pages for bash.

There’s no real alternative to RTFM.

Then you’re not allowed to post it again for a week. Those are the rules. Others have to repost in the meantime.

It might have to do with my being an old fart, but having at least home on a separate disk or partition seems like basic stuff. I’ve always done it that way.

Of course back in the day, everything had its own partition.

I’ve never had issues with it either, but it’s probably overkill for OP’s requirements.

That’s crazy talk.

True, but users will be differently confused in Linux.

Same here.

Although when I say I “used to”,it was in the gnome 1.1 days, so it’s been a while.

Just before a big presentation is also one of the best times. You have a few minutes to waste, why not spend then optimising stuff?

Some commercial ones did at some point. I’m not sure if they still do.

The question is whether their users care or not I suppose.

It’s Unix if you pay to have it certified (assuming it’s compatible to begin with). That’s basically it.

archive.org is hosted in the US and could end up being a valid target. It doesn’t strike me as being a very good place to securely store anything nowadays. I’d consider anything hosted in the US to be out.
