Those people aren’t great at thinking things through. They’re “idea people”.

No it shouldn’t.

Well considering I’ve been using it for 25 years and it literally has had its own Wikipedia page since basically Wikipedia existed… no. It’s not a buzzword. It’s just a term used to describe an idea.

Why? This sounds like FUD.

Which is funny because I’m the other way around. I’ll try doing something with the CLI but if it’s like a calculation or something and I can’t figure it out with awk, etc, I’ll defer to a spreadsheet.

It would effect any UEFI based system regardless of OS from one of the affected manufacturers (which is basically all of them).

Correct.

Don’t eat within a few hours of going to bed. It’s likely you have light acid reflux and sleeping with a full stomach, particularly when it’s full of something so rich and acidic, will compound the problem significantly.

Also I’d recommend lowering the amount you’re eating. Eat just until you’re no longer hungry, not to the point that you’re full. If you want an extra slice later as a snack cold pizza is awesome, but you can’t un-eat the slice or slices that are punishing your guts.

Just sit them down with it. Kids can figure new technology out.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Our devices are old hat now. They’re part of our life. Even people who don’t understand them have a vague idea how they work.

They used to be like magic. Now we are desperate for new magic.

Actually just saw btop mentioned on Lemmy the other day lol

htop and/or btop are more modern user friendly alternatives to the classic top

It happens quickly.

You might check out xfce. It’s gtk like Gnome but the development team doesn’t have their heads up their asses; pretty much every aspect of xfce can be customized. It should be a simple install from your package manager, whatever distribution you’re using. The downside of this, however, is it might take extensive tweaking to get it to look how you want as it’s a pretty bare bones UI by default. Personally I like it, but ymmv.

That’s the beautiful thing about the Linux world. If you don’t like some aspect there’s virtually always an alternative.

You’ll thank yourself for it later. Things like this take a little longer up front but putting them off has a way of making you have to work around it again and again until, when you get around to correcting it, it takes far more time to undo the workarounds than it would’ve taken to correct it the first time.

I don’t think you understand what root is. By definition it has those permissions because it’s root.

If a different user doesn’t exist then you obviously can’t run the command as that different user. The only solution here is to create a new user account.

Also your image is improperly configured which is something you should fix first.

People aren’t buying automatic weapons now. You have to jump through a LOT of hoops to acquire an automatic gun, they can cost as much as $40K, and have to be manufactured before 1986. But 50 years ago they absolutely were available. They were banned in 1986.

Most gun designs are 70 years old or so and they were as widely available then as they are now.

Something besides the technology has definitely changed.
