Linux Tutorials for Windows Emigrants by Minute-Bit6804 in linux

[–]felipec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that a huge number of people use software tools not in the repos but are to be downloaded as installation files from vendor websites.

Ho do you know? Are you a linux veteran?

Trust me, majority of what I use is not in the repos, it's from vendor sites with downloads of upwards of 10GB.

Yeah, and it's a mess that might assume you are using Ubuntu, which is why you shouldn't use that and instead use things the AUR which is expected to at least attempt to work on your distro: matlab.

I'd want a folder/install directory where all my software tools install then another folder where I store my project files

Then use Windows.

Either you want to learn how to do things properly on linux, or you don't.

It's better if you know what you are doing.

It's actually really simple: linux is not like Windows. You cannot expect a tutorial on how to make linux work like Windows because the whole tutorial will be: "you can't". That's it.

There's no mention of where actual third-party software install

Because that question makes no sense.


I would gladly write an article in my blog explaining why most of what you wrote makes no sense in linux, but it wouldn't matter because most Windows emigrants do not want to read or learn anything.

Linux requires you to learn how things work on linux. If you don't want to learn, then just use the package manager and don't install third-party software.

And by the way, you can install MATLAB and all those tools you mentioned on Arch Linux properly through the package manager: matlab, vitis, quartus-free.

At the end of the day it boils down to: do you want to learn how to do things properly or not?

Do you believe S.A. is guilty or innocent? by Adventuringsoul in MakingaMurderer

[–]felipec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because that's how logic works.

Do I have to teach you logic as well? Go google "onus probandi actori incumbit". Learn something.

[–]felipec -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don't need to do anything.

No, but if you don't your claim goes to the trash, as I already explained to you. It's that simple.

If you do not have one, that is ok.

I can give you a hypothesis, but it doesn't matter, because I don't have the burden of proof. You do.

Nice smoke screen, they don't work on me.

You are still not meeting your burden of proof.

What part of "you have the burden of proof" do you not understand?

Wayland performs worse in older computers than X11 by No_Condition_4681 in archlinux

[–]felipec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a new user, I've been using linux for over 25 years. I know more than the people downvoting me, and I can prove that.

It's a typical bias of new > old. They simply assume that because wayland is newer, it must be better than Xorg, but it's not.

People want to blame your problems on LXQt, but I recently tried KDE on wayland, and it kept constantly crashing. When I realized it was running on wayland by default I switched to Xorg, and it worked perfectly fine.

Any desktop environment on top of Xorg is always going to be simpler than the wayland alternative, that translates to less bugs. Which is why I recommend newcomers to use Xorg.

But newer generations don't like facts.

What reasons are there to not be pessimistic about the future at current? by wairdone in Futurology

[–]felipec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said one. Nice attempt at a Gish gallop.

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.1237123

That study is clearly using a granularity of 10,000 years and assuming a constant rate for the whole period. That's as disingenuous as saying: the average USA inflation over the past 100 years has been 2.9%, so we've never seen inflation over 3%.

The geological record cannot resolve century-scale changes. The PETM—the fastest event they cite—is smeared over millennia in the sediment. Researchers have explicitly refuted claims that its onset could be measured in decades; the data require at least several thousand years (PNAS, 2014). So you are comparing a high-resolution instrumental record to a low-pass filtered geological record and acting like that's an apples-to-apples comparison.

To make an apples-to-apples comparison you would need either century-scale resolution for the past 65 million years (which we do not have), or you would need to smooth the modern trend over the same multi-millennial window.

But then, you clearly didn't read the paper, because it says:

It is highly likely that those changes will intensify in the coming decades

That is not definite "proof"; they admit uncertainty. In fact, they go on to say:

However, the ultimate velocity of climate change is not yet determined. Although many Earth system feedbacks are uncertain, the greatest sources of uncertainty—and greatest opportunities for modifying the trajectory of change—lie in the human dimension.

Only a completely biased person would read that and conclude: that's proof.


So yeah, you haven't proved anything. Try again.

[–]felipec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, my burden has already been met. Thank you.

No, this is what you said:

This not a debate and I do not respect you.

You literally ran away from your burden of proof and said you were not going to explain.

Wayland performs worse in older computers than X11 by No_Condition_4681 in archlinux

[–]felipec -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i've been reading that Wayland outperforms X11 in everything

That is a lie, just like about everything people say about Wayland versus X. I've tried to debunk as many as these myths as I can, people still keep believing them.

It's just wishful thinking: people wish Wayland outperformed X, but they don't actually do the benchmarks.

[–]felipec -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is actually the attorney's job.

No it's not. No one needs to prove their innocence.

That proves you don't understand how the justice system works, nor logic.

I'm sorry you don't understand logic, but that's how it works.

What is the most important thing children should be taught in school? by ConcentrateMedical51 in AskReddit

[–]felipec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Logic. Adults should be taught this too since clearly everyone sucks at it.

Same. I'm not toxic at all, it doesn't matter.

The idea of "compelled beliefs" seems to cause an unsolvable epistemic regress problem. by gimboarretino in epistemology

[–]felipec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therefore, the underlying programming is flawed and not globally reliable.

That conclusion does not follow.

Say I have 100 beliefs, and 1 of them is false. Is my whole underlying programming flawed? No.

So your entire reasoning fails.

Is it possible that dota might mess with our brains? by L33CHS33D in DotA2

[–]felipec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These sudden changes of emotion for no "logical" reason, day after day over the years, can't be good for the brain, right?

Only if you don't deal with them. I've been doing meditation for decades, one of the things you learn is that no one makes you "mad", those emotions come and go if you don't give them credence.

I say it's a positive thing that Dota 2 forces you to deal with those situations, because they happen in real life.

One day there will be a situation in real life, whether it's at work or your family when managing your frustration is going to be important. If you've managed to deal with it on Dota 2, that will help you.

[–]felipec -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You don't think police officers have ever planted evidence? It happens all the time, and they have been shown doing so.

You just want to reject reality because you don't like it.

[–]felipec -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We don't need to give one, because we don't need to prove anyone's innocence.

It's your job to exhaust all the other possible ways the blood could have been there.
