I thought people asked questions when they didn’t know something… So, yeah? Had they known, they wouldn’t have asked.

By the way, I want to know as well.

I was just like you when I was a kid. Especially the things about religion.

There was a nun in my school to teach Catholicism (let’s not talk about why I attended because that’s another story). Everyone hated the nun because she was mean and unlikeable.

I used to go to her with a bible, with some passages underlined. I then asked some loaded questions. She would answer in a very predictable way. Then I’d say “but in this other passage it says … which is a contradiction! You don’t know very much do you?” and she always would get angry but also defeated and I loved it.

I agree with everything you said.

LSF is not a distro. It is a instruction manual and teaching aid. Don’t use it as a base for your main OS

OP, you can use it as your main OS, and I know some people do. I wouldn’t recommend it, though. Because once you have LFS you realise that you need at least automatic dependency resolution. And once you start thinking about it you realise that you’re reinventing a package manager. At that point just use a distro you like :D

I suggest LFS if you want to learn the complexity of creating a distro from scratch. (You might not succeed on the first try. I gave up multiple times before forcing myself to finish it)

I never tried Gentoo so I can’t really say anything good or bad about it.

My question is: what are you expecting to learn from this? you say “learn more” but what exactly do you want to learn? Because if it’s “becoming better at linux” you can definitely do it with just Arch.

If you just want something “more difficult” to install, I guess you can do it.

Windone.

Thanks for the correction.

I read the bash documentation and I think you simply don’t need the ;. The & is already a command separator, just like ;

Tested with bash: sleep 100 & echo test prints right away.

it should be enough to put a space between & and ; like this: firefox -p & ; disown but I’m not 100% sure.

I’m also very spoiled by zsh, and I also remember encountering this issue.

This ice cream shop is trash! Because I took a chocolate and cream cone and ran away without paying, and when I was outside I tripped over my shoelace and my ice cone ended up in a puddle where a dog was pissing. 0/10 would never go that shop again.

It honestly reads like this 🤣

I’ve blocked them, I have other things to care about today, than arguing with a stranger about bullshit.

It’s sad, because other than that we were having a pretty nice conversation. Such is life…

I don’t understand why you are being so impolite.

I understand making fun of apple shills, it’s not a mature thing to do, but I get it. I just want to point out that being so “anti shill” is just as cringe.

Why do you care about what other people buy? We are having a technical discussion about different platforms, and your whole argument is “lmao buying apple”.

Agreed. ipads and iphones being locked as a platform, i would never buy them. The PCs? You can install Linux and be happy with it (if you’re lucky enough).

Imagine being proud of using Microsoft!

At least Apple makes decent hardware (and questionable software practices). But at least macOS is true Unix. With WSL now I’m not really sure which experience is better.

I’d still take Linux any time.

MSYS2 is a lifesaver!
