I see at least two problems here:

1. Don't pull on the cable, pull on the plug.

2. Use EU power sockets, it is safer, more like :q! when existing vim and unsaved changed you made to the file are lost for sure.

For my my father I only have to make sure it looks not so different after each major upgrade. I have to be careful when there are new things, but apart from that he can do everything for himself except these major upgrades and backups.

So, he is happy with Fedora and Gnome classic.

I think, I should switch to Codium for personal projects. Let's hope there is a binary package on Gentoo.

We learned the hard way that on a RPi4 you want a very good SD card if you are running nextcloud on it.

Git likes to have a word with you.

I just want to confirm, that raisins do not belong anywhere! I rather have pineapples in my cheesecake.

While this is very funny, I think with PHP you can achieve error traces like in Java, nowadays. And no, I am (not) a senior PHP developer. ^^

Edit: I used PHP-4 ages ago and now I am relearning >=PHP-8. Not sure whether junior or senior.

What is flatpak?

This doesn't work. The elephant is still in the fridge.

Gnome Classic is a good option for older people who did not grow up with computers but learned to use Windows at work. The traditional look helps them to find the programs they need while everything else is modern.

And it helps the younger people helping the older ones, because under the hood, all is new and shiny. (:

it hurts!

Nothing is graceful about Windows. [=

I wonder what someone has to do to have worse looking font rendering on Linux. I find the font rendering on Windows worse in every regard and inconsistent (size). On Linux I just set hinting to slight and anti-aliasing to greyscale and all my fonts look nice. Same font with same size on Windows (VSCode is the only program I use on both OS) looks slightly blurred; only the fact that my work display has a higher pixels density makes it ok for me.

With Gentoo, you can choose any live-iso, open a terminal and start installing. (:

Who sends setup binaries? I would tell my grandma to install it from the repository.

Would a desktop CPU (Zen3) also benefit from these improvements?

I rather use the r-base plot functions for everything in R. It is more flexible especially when you need to tweak the visuals.

Try Niri (a linear window manager), I have tried it already for a short time on a seperate computer. It is very good! I just not got around configuring it for my main machine, yet.

And I need to test how well Xwayland works, because I need it for Steam and some games.

What you can find in dconf is well organized compared to what is inside of the regedit hell.

That is very fast. I count in days.
