Is python being easy to learn actually true?

I’ve never found this to be true, I think that’s partially because I don’t find Python to be very fun to write in, so I don’t enjoy it very much, so I don’t learn new things about it very quickly.

Points for the correct answer. I work on systems for spacecraft and podman is what we use on those for containerization (better option for a couple reasons)… but we literally just SAY docker to the suits, because that’s what they’ve heard of. Which is why I said docker to this guy.

Docker and Podman are both free. Podman is the lighter weight, more FOSS, also slightly more DIY option, they are intercompatible - I work on systems for spacecraft and Podman is what we use on those because it’s lighter weight. If you want to run something in docker, ChatGPT is actually pretty good at talking you through the specific setup (at least that’s been my experience).

Docker can absolutely run desktop apps.

Why not Docker?

Since it’s a wall art project, now get it to run Minecraft and run a redstone computer on it.

RHEL --> Debian in the sense that RHEL is a root distro from which the others spring. But there the similarities very much end.

Linux uh… Finds a way.

I have my Boomer dad using Linux Mint on his laptop, but he was still using Windows on his desktop PC.

Then it updated to Windows 11 and he HATES it and asked me for help to put Linux Mint on his desktop as well.

This is a real estate agent in his 70s who needs help making scans and downloading email attachments.

• sshfs. I use it for everything.
• autossh
• git. It always annoys me how Debian doesn’t come with it out of the box. Gets me every time I set up a new server.
• Signal desktop app.

This is the best answer.

Yeah… it’s very clickbatey to NOT include that detail.

I’ve written more than enough words to win, while failing to finish my story. I’ve also played a lot with local LLMs. Can confirm on all counts.

Typed “rm -r” in “/home/myuser” instead of “/home/myuser/Documents/ThingINoLongerNeed”

Used gparted to wipe and format the device mounted at “/” instead of the external drive I meant to reformat. I’ve done this one TWO WHOLE TIMES in my life, three if you count wiping a device that was mounted at “/home/myuser/MyTwoTBDrive4DocsPicsMusicGamesEtc”.

It will?? When??

Came here to say Tauri.

It is stupid and evil to reject cubic truth.

But… why?

This is exactly how I feel. I can’t relax into my work (and my work quality is impacted) when I have to use Windows.
