- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts

I'm a nerd and dirt poor, what am I doing wrong?
you may have yourself checked, you may be a dork, which is a nerd without marketable abilities
Oh shit
You're not doing work around the house.

Nerding. Duh.
You need to install Linux for the money to come.
Okay, I'm putting together a second PC for Linux Mint, especially as I need Linux for testing.
take stuff apart and put it back together. install obscure operating systems. build a network and servers for just yourself. put multiple operating systems on the same computer. repair a broken laptop or phone. just fun things like that
Any pointers how to get into FreeBSD? I might need that for my game engine, especially as two of the main three consoles nowadays use some heavily modified versions of it (even if unfortunately I have to provide them as closed-source addons to the engine, since neither Sony nor Nintendo don't like open sourcing their stuff).
easiest would be to install it on a ras pi: https://freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd-project/resourcesold/installing-freebsd-for-raspberry-pi/
another easy way to get started is to install it in a VM. once you have the process down, you could try installing it to a secondary disk or partition on hardware.
