/triggered/

Oh hell no. My basic critical thinking applied to googling has got me to a forum with the solution to wi-fi not working in the form of “meh, it happens. reser all network settings and reboot”. Which became my personal turning point of “fuck this shit, I’d rather have actually debuggable software”

/cooled down/

Well, your point read as “look at the problem, search for solutions and you probably will find them” stands, it is the low competency bar that triggered me: to even know where crash logs etc might be on Windows is far beyond even “power user” level

After seeing folks on lemmy who wiped their /boot and did other funny stuff I must ask you: do you think your argument is all that righteous?

The idea of immutable distributions does not trigger me: there are valid use cases for that too. But the whole parroting of brainrot “I’ve got my system fucked, so immutable distros go brrrrr” sounds more and more like a band of childlike people looking for anyone to blame but themselves

I don’t care if something could or could not have been prevented with immutability with my system, but I always care of the following: this next thing I am going to do with the system, am I prepared to deal with it if something goes sideways or not. Now that looks like a burn to you or what?

Indeed, we should not. Thank you for saying this

Nothing wrong you say. Sure, noooothing can go wrong with this approach (I am looking at climate changes, fucking plastic in living organisms, wars not stopping even for a day, idiots in positions of power). Cool story bro, does not work

Lol. Navigating through menu-in-popup-in-window-in-tab-in-popup or adding/changing registry keys you understand nothing about is surely superior, right?

I was today years old when I realized that “just works” has nothing to do with the interface kind. If it works, it works, that’s it.

Tried, it irritates me. And nope, I never said my workflow is the best. I answered to your “wild” part. There is nothing wild in coding in vim. And yes, people proclaiming vim family is the greatest thing there is are no better than people proclaiming that only full-fledged IDE can get any job done

So I re-state the same n-th time over: I, and many other devs, have no need to draw anything. So I, and many other devs, will choose whatever works for us, and there is exactly nothing wild in doing so

It may be, but really it doesn’t even matter to me. I will choose the tool that can do that using command line anyway

It’s wild to me that people that people use VIM in professional software development settings

Ya, sure. wild that professional software development does not begin and end with 3d shapes. Great worldvew, thanks

Lol I am not making 3d shapes in the first place. Anyway, here ya go: 1,2,3

4,5,6

7,8,9

10,11,12

Do you need an explanation for that?

Yup, last time I installed Ubuntu it was that, one partition. So now, what has @henfredemars got “not right”?

which is so much better and intuitive than Linux installer creating exactly one partition, right?

• that is not VSCode default, so nah. once again: I have no time for battling against software

• and if I do not want the GUI part, how come it surprises you that I do not use that superset?

Aand why the hell does it do that? And why the hell count is more than one? And while we are at it, what is so deadly and frightening with Linux installer creating a partition?

You have overdone the pedantic part, so I will do the same: GUI has objectively way more visual noise, so exactly in professional software development setting I prefer using NeoVim with plugins, configured by me for my convenience, because I have no intention of spending any extra effort, and more importantly, thought, on whatever the IDE decided I must need. I want to think about the task at hand, not memorize the finger-twisting magical shortcuts or mouse-clicking several menu layers to do one damn simple thing

Lolwat. Last time I installed windows it literally created 3 partitions exactly when I told it “this clean disk - here ya go”

I would say “why not, to each their own” if not the thought about what else the filemanager is going to do with root access (like downloading data from web for file preview). But the general sentiment still stands, it is absurd to think that computer must be used only in one way by all people

Thank you for explanation :) I suspected something like that - mess up with some internals, you do have a chance to bring the thing down. Which is why I always have a bootable usb around before doing anything risky

Ehm, your friend should really hold ma beer.

Windows: ok, where files of program N? Let’s check: C:/Program files? Or Program files (x86)? Why do I happen to see same program in both?

Ah, Documents/N? Maybe. But empty

C:/AppData/(or whatever that is called)…fucking_hell? With fucking invisible folders? Really?

As to the actual question, I remember just googling the standard, got some idea back then. Now found https://linuxhandbook.com/linux-directory-structure/ should be good enough (I guess, being used to reading software docs does change views on what is good/bad and also builds tolerance to detailed descriptions)
