I’m giving them a little empathy because they are frustrated; that’s all. We’ve all been there.

Yeha, but you can ask for help without taking a shit on the effort of thousands of engineers.
I doubt OP thought, ‘I’m going to take a shit on thousands of engineers.’ It’s okay to not know what to do, including asking for help. If they don’t know what to do with “error 2,” they’re obviously lost. This unwelcoming attitude to newcomers is a big problem, and in my opinion, it’s probably best not to contribute to it.
You can rephrase what you’re saying and provide better help to someone who’s completely lost in a much more polite and informative way. It’s better for everyone.
Also, try searching web before crying on social media. If you can’t solve your problems by searching the web then GNU/Linux probably isn’t for you.
Sheesh, let them be frustrated already. Besides, asking for help is totally valid.
ChaCha20-Poly1305 and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC ciphers are vulnerable to a MITM attack.

Came here to say this. fwupd is so good, it’s almost magic, and good vendors will actually support it themselves.
That’s just systemd failing to start Switch Root. Have you tried the systemctl status suggestion in the error, or reading the text file it generates?
You’re talking to a 40 year old with no future working three minimum wage jobs who will be homeless if any of them let him go.
Well that’s a wild assumption.
Be kinder to fellow working class people. Hold the capitalists responsible for creating this situation in the first place.
I am kind, I promise. Voices often get raised at me when confirming my order, and I stay calm anyway. I’m not obligated to get yelled at for simply trying to place an order.
That’s not a kernel panic
Not only am I vegetarian, but I’m queer, too. That place is great at destroying families. I wouldn’t eat there even if I loved eating chicken.
I’m a vegetarian. Ordering an impossible burger off the broiler from Burger King always seems to make the drive-thru person want to fight me, for some reason. They’re often too occupied to hear what I’m saying well, and they don’t always put it on the screen right away. When I ask to confirm it, ~80% of the time they give me lip service.
This is my metric. As long as Burger King keeps giving me shit, I’m in favor of AI replacing their jobs. If they were kinder, I would never think this. To be honest, this experience has kept me from going to Burger King most times. Try ordering this at 10 places that aren’t dead and you’ll see what I mean.
I wouldn’t be quick to assume that this means a failing disk. There would probably be more sporadic issues if this were the case.
Always, always, always, without taking any shortcuts, use a tzinfo library for your language.
More like, try to get you to pay money and pretend that you don’t own your client side software.
There is a GUI, but I prefer the terminal:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install steam
“Update” fetches the latest package information, and “install steam” does exactly what you think it does :)
Yup! Install Steam (with your package manager!) and play. Nothing to it.
Enjoy!
Some of these tips are dangerous. You generally don’t want cause insensitivity in your shell. Also, ls should never be used as a subshell to find files as a part of commands.
You mean the defaults that were against anti trust laws?
You can only teach someone Linux if they have a desire to learn it. If they don’t want to learn it, then they might learn that it’s “bad” or “weird” compared to mainstream OSes, which would be working backwards.
You’d be surprised how little math is involved in programming that doesn’t require it. A significant majority of programming is simply managing conditionals. For example: “when the door opens, turn on the light.”
Math comes into place when you need it, and hardly ever comes as a surprise. Additionally, solved problems are generally kept in libraries. For example, you don’t need to calculate a sum; simply tell it to calculate a sum for you, because this is a solved problem.
What you’re already running into is called “impostor’s syndrome.” You believe that you are not capable of something to some degree, even though reality says otherwise. You haven’t tried your hand at programming, so why worry now? You’re inventing problems for yourself before you even got a chance to start.
Just go for it and see what you think. If you don’t enjoy it, no biggie. If you do enjoy it, keep going. No obligations 👌
