Wenn ich Hunger habe, oder auch allgemein mit der Gesamtsituation unzufrieden bin, lese ich gerne in dem Schwäbischen Kochbuch, das meine Oma sich zu Beginn ihrer Hausfrauenkarriere angeschafft hat.
Das muss so eines der ersten hundert Bücher gewesen sein, die der gute Johannes Gensfleisch (genannt Gutenberg) damals aus seiner neuen Erfindung rausgepresst hat.

Ich stehe also mit leerem Magen und voller Selbstmitleid in der Küche und lese:

Brennte Mehlsupp
Schritt 1: ein TL Butter (oder Schmalz, Margarine, zur Not Wasser) in einer Pfanne erhitzen
Schritt 2: ein EL Weizenmehl (oder Gries, Haferflocken, Brotbrösel, zur Not Sägespäne) zugeben
Schritt 3: gründlich anbrennen lassen
Schritt 4: mit 1l Wasser ablöschen
Guten Appetit!

Und plötzlich geht's mir gar nicht mehr so schlecht.

The biologist's and the geologist's behavior is realistic, though.
Source: I'm a geo-ecologist, I'm working with both.

Biologists in sight of a new species will completely forget all their surroundings and drop into a state of child-like wonder.
The geologist was probably drunk.

It's kind of ironic and pretty bitter. The Greens were founded by environmentalists and pacifists.
Their slogan was "never again war, never again genocide"

And both times they were part of a government coalition, they immediately had to decide on an active involvement in a European war (Yugoslavia and Ukraine).
Cause in both wars, "never again war, never again genocide" wasn't an option.
They had to chose one, and they chose to get involved in the war to stop a genocide.

How unpleasant. Rude, even!

JavaScript makes browsers like Links borderline unusable

Not my experience. Links just makes borderline unusable websites completely unusable.

right. This is Weston (same distro):

Arch, cause I set it up to my liking once out of curiosity when I was procrastinating, wrote a script that automates https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/System_maintenance and now am too lazy to switch to something else.
Especially since maintenance involves typing Update.sh once a week or so, and nothing else.

Latin is like German in this regard, minus the exceptions, which make up around half the cases in German.

That's not what that is.
It's just that Latin had more complicated grammar regarding pronouns.
They still only had 3 grammatical (and societal) genders: he, she and it.

The idea behind Linux is to create an operating system anyone can use in any way they want.
That includes the North Korean government using it to spy on their people.

Let's make this a game. Click on it, then you have to install that on bare metal and daily it for a month.

Gentoo still exists. Damn Small was dead for a decade but has risen again recently. Puppy is alive and well. Knoppix is still alive, but the last downloadable release is almost 4 years old.

  • install Linux
  • install Gnome
  • install some software
  • reboot
  • these icons are in my menu
  • clicking on them does nothing

I know there's probably an explanation for it, which may make sense if you're used to the Linux ecosystem.
But to anyone else, it's just weird that there are buttons in my user-friendly GUI button-clicky desktop environment that make no sense, that I didn't install, and that do nothing when I click on them.

(Yes, I know I can hide them by editing a text file.
Or installing a menu editor that was designed for a version of Gnome from 20 years ago and still works most of the time)

 
 
 

Don't get me wrong, I used to be a Linux fanboy.
But after Admining in both the Linux and Windows world, I have to say: There's a reason Microsoft has a dominant market position in business.

AD is fucking awesome. And I don't understand why Linux is so...finnicky out of the box. There just isn't a unified default out of the box solution where you can click a button to create a domain controller and have everything in your domain tied together, from user rights on all clients, to file shares, to mailboxes.
This should be the strong point of Unix-likes, considering their history, but it just isn't.

On AD, you authenticate once when you log into your PC (which even works without contact to the authentication server). And then all the resources you're allowed to use are available to you. All the admin has to do for new users is assign them to the right groups in a GUI or with a script, and everything is taken care of.

On Linux, that just isn't the case (unless the domain is managed by AD, that integrates Linux clients well also). Linux is stuck in a time where your client was nothing more than a keyboard attached to a network device that connects you directly to the server.

And authentication is a mess out of the box. A password prompt should have the purpose of checking whether the correct person is sitting in front of the keyboard to do things. On Linux, you log into your client when you boot it. But by default, every time you want to access system resources which you are already allowed to use you need to authenticate again – from within the user account that's already authenticated. It makes no sense.

And don't even get me started on how awesome GPO's are compared to the methods you have to manage Linux clients.

WSL goes brrr (feddit.org)
 
 

Seriously, my knowledge ends with:

  • It offers a shitload of IP addresses
  • They look really complicated
  • Something about every device in your local network being visible from everywhere?
  • Some claim it obsoletes NAT?

I get that it's probably too complicated a subject for an ELI5, so if there are good videos or resources explaining it in less than half an hour, feel free to share.
