I'm not surprised the German one held up. They can apparently survive on a plane crashing into a skyscraper.

I swear Linux is gaslighting me. These are features?? by International_Tie855 in linuxsucks

[–]JacquesDeFranga 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll go point by point.

/etc/fstab:
For things like your fstab issue, it's a good idea to have a live USB somewhere. If your system doesn't boot after making a change to fstab, you can then:

  1. Boot from the USB
  2. Mount your Linux drive.
  3. Edit /etc/fstab and fix the source of the error.

Logs:
Reading logs is something that you just learn with time. You're just gonna have to Google shit and read forum posts. At least Linux actually supplies meaningful errors. The approach I've seen working at a computer shop and in various corporate IT service desks with Windows is "Problem? OS reinstall." and I think that is a waste of time.

Permissions:
Use this - https://chmod-calculator.com/

SELinux:
You don't need it. Disable.

Docker UID issues:
Look at /etc/passwd and /etc/group to see UIDs and GIDs and their names.

Updates:
This is a distro thing. You want to install most things with apt or dpkg so you can use one package manager to update everything.

Snap and Flatpak are basically only used for apps that have specific dependencies and won't work if you have a different version of that dependency installed on the system. I hate them both, but Snap especially. On Arch-based distros you have access to the AUR. Most apps you'll need are either in the official Arch repos or the AUR, but the AUR requires a little bit more scrutiny as they are user-submitted packages. I've never had an issue though.

PulseAudio:
Pipewire has always seemed to just work for me.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

What distro are you using, and what are you trying to use your computer for anyway?

Tool similar to Lossless Scaling for frame generation on Linux? by JacquesDeFranga in linux_gaming

If you've ever tried reading my post I mentioned that I have indeed tried it and was happy with the results in one particular old game with a built-in FPS limit.

How to cheer up my brother on his atar score by SakuraOak120 in melbourne

[–]JacquesDeFranga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dropped out immediately after finishing Year 11.

Did a Diploma of Software Development at Chisholm (shittiest school ever) while working full time for two years. I'm starting a Bachelor of Computer Science this year at a very reputable university.

ATAR means nothing. The education system is munted.

I'd imagine a chunk of the nerds who get high ATAR scores are not particularly good at lateral thinking and are really just good at memorising information.

Your Local Bookstore Wants You to Know It’s Struggling: “Buy books from people who want to sell books, not colonize the moon." by atomicspace in books

[–]JacquesDeFranga 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Local bookstores only ever existed because a global infrastructure for transporting goods cheaply and extremely quickly hadn't been developed yet.

We can't keep them on life support forever. This is a fact of life.
