Because nobody understands everything, but our individual areas of expertise vary from person to person. So you seek help on the things that confuse you.
There have been some helpful people in this thread. You’re not one of them. Instead you’re displaying the same attributes that take the most open and free operating system, and give it the reputation as being closed gated.
It would be like a mechanic rolling his eyes at you for not knowing how to replace a muffler, or change your own oil.
As others said, use a pre built distro + DE environment, especially if you don’t really know what you do. Another thing that I’d recommend: a distro that be backed up easily. So you can tinker and start over, if necessary.
homer simpson voice Ooooooo! Expain how!
Hopefully, if I keep my installation small, and my game roms on a different partition, I can just stick a USB stick in, and backup before I do anything stupid. Then if I break it, I can reflash the first partition from my USB backup, and my rom files partition won’t be affected, since they were never the problem.
I have not, but if I have issues when I get home from work, those will be the places to check first!
:D
I wish the Lemmy search could search inside your brain. When I get home, I’m going to try this. And assuming it doesn’t give me 50 million errors (or…even 1 error, as I don’t know what I’m doing), then this seems like a really easy thing to do. Now if something goes wrong…then I’m screwed. Most other people who use linux would be like “Oh, yeah, error 5227. Simple error. You just have to configure the combobulator, and process the hexagonal diagrams!”
And I would be like “…do what now?”
But as long as it’s just one simple copy/paste line in terminal…I SHOULD be fine…unless I’m not.
A danger of being decentralized is losing all of your momentum.

Don’t be sad that it’s over. Be happy that it happened. Everything in life is temporary. Eventually it all ends. And plenty of cool stuff never gets to happen. Like teleportation. I’d LOVE for my work commute to take 2 seconds. Or big mouth singing bass that start vomiting money. Those things don’t exist, and never existed.
Instead I have to take the bus like a pleb! And earn my living by doing work, instead of listening to a sickly plastic fish.
But James Earl Jones existing DID get to happen! And you shared a planet with him. And he didn’t die some horrible death…he died at 93. He didn’t get shot dead at 17. He got to do lots of cool stuff. And you got to witness it.
Don’t be sad it’s over. Be happy that it happened.
I’m confused. Was JEJ in that movie? Or did your kid die of excitement overload after watching The Sandlot?
(I was a month old when it was released)
Pssshhhh! That’s no excuse! Should have started crying until mommy brought you to see Star Wars!
Episode IV is the one where Chewbacca makes out with Darth Vader, right? And then they find out they’re brother and sister, but it’s too late. They’re already in love.
“People consuming anything that they”re told to consume… so, I am the villain because I’ve made myself one. And you will continue to consume these stories about me. Year after year, after year, for as long as I tell the internet that I am the villain. Stories that permeate and linger, and infect the minds of the ants. Influence the ants. Brainwash the ants. You are the ants,” he said.
Me: “Who?”
“Prove that you’re inferior.”
“I…what?..What even IS this puzzle? There’s a glowstick, and a porcupine, a pez dispenser in the shape of ray romano, and the board game battleship? I don’t get it…I don’t even get whats being asked…”
“Correct!”
“…I still don’t get it.”
“Buddy, we know your human. Stop proving your inferiority.”
“WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON???”
“Now you’re just showing off…”
I still think of SATA as that new technology nobody has yet. I’m still used to IDE.
You should see a doctor. That shouldn’t be possible.
…do what now?
…why are you commenting on YOUTUBE??? You can’t even track how well your comments did, or what your highest rated comments are. Then half the people change their display names, and trying to follow the conversation just becomes a jumbled mess.
Oh, thats just Milton. It’s like the ONE new thing. It makes…LET ME FINISH!!!..toast.
Ugh. No. You ruined it.
Also this is from libretube so I couldn’t if I wanted to
Because linux is terrible? Yeeeaaaahhhh. I get it.
Great that you have a catch drive. I assume the data drive manages everything. So I’m going to call that the manager drive.
Now you just need:
A 1st base drive.
A 2nd base drive.
A 3rd base drive.
A shortstop drive.
A left Field drive.
A center field drive.
A right field drive.
About 3-4 starting drives
A half dozen reliever drives.
A closer drive.
A hittch coach drive
And a couple of base running coach drives!
Got yourself a baseball team!
AAAAAHHHHH!!! Stop being factually correct, but completely wrong!!!
I’ve been trying to understand linux that way for 10 years. The problem is the tutorials will say “do this and this, and this, and this”. I’ll get maybe 30% through the tutorial, and get an error. But the tutorial didn’t account for an error. So I google the error, and find 10 different pages all telling me to do 10 different things.
But in doing 7 of those things, I screw 3 more things up because I don’t know what those things did. Or I did them wrong. And now I have 8 problems instead of 1.
Sometimes you just need a human teacher who knows what they’re doing. It’s like learning to cook, but not having taste buds. You can be told to add salt, but if you don’t know what salt does, or why you’re adding it, you might add too much, or not enough, or at the wrong time. But if a human teacher can explain what you’re doing, and what it does, and why it does that, THEN you might learn.
