Alright, peeps, I want to build Linux on my new PC and need some help with that. On my old PC, I had kubuntu installed, which I liked (at least until downloading Skype fried most of my installers and rebuffed all attempts at deinstallation). When installing kubuntu, I had a lot of help (and by a lot, I mean my friend did like 90% of the work) but as I don't see them quite as often and I would like to be a little more self-sufficient this time around, I implore thee, Linux users of Hexbear. So here are some general questions:
- Which distribution is right for me?
I have some experience with MINT and kubuntu. I really liked the KDE environment of kubuntu and generally preferred it to MINT. My friend uses archlinux, but they also warned me that arch requires a bit of expertise and isn't necessarily user firendly. It looked really cool, though. I am willing to learn, but I generally suck with computers. I will mostly use my PC for basic programming tasks and data analysis (mostly python using jupyter, but I would like to learn some basics in C++), similar work related tasks (using TeX-Studio, the pdf editing functions of programs like okular, Libre office on rare occasions etc.) and the occasional Minecraft session.
- Where can I find useful resources for learning about a given distribution?
Keep in mind that I suck absolute shit at computers. I know how to access/use the basic functions of the terminal and how to superficially navigate the PC, but anything beyond that is magic to me.
- Y'all got any good wallpapers?
A FALGSC themed wallpaper that doesn't burn your eyes out due to being perdominantly red would be cool.
I don’t think the DPRK wants to give an opportunity to basically any country in the world to plant spies. Considering the US used visits of the Atomic Energy Commission to infiltrate the DPRK in the 90s, welcoming thousands and thousands of difficult to vet corporate reps sounds like an open invitation for infiltration.
It’s not a pissing contest, but I still believe Nazi Germany takes the cake in that regard.
But… but… Galicia was judenfrei when he joined, he couldn’t have been a Nazi!
Just a small correction: a vassal is a person subservient to a feudal lord. A vessel is a container of some sort or a ship.
Are you rooting for the AfD to come to power? As a Central Asian living in Germany, the rise of a literal Nazi party fucking frightens me and should frighten anyone.
I’m a bit peeved by the circumstance that python (a language), jupyter (a compiler for python), and numpy and pandas (both python modules) are listed separately.
If you lock yourself out, don’t call the first locksmith you can find in google. They are a scam.
Oh, it contains TTX. I think cyanide can counteract this particular poison but don’t quote me on that.
Edit: turns out I misremembered and the counteracting poison is Batrachotoxin, which is used by the poison dart frog.
I mean, you shouldn’t lift aquatic creatures out of the water, ever, but what else is happening in this picture?
