Haha yeah that was the counter example I was thinking of. I agree completely
you could make a Gentoo from source beginner distro, and I think you could make it reasonably "idiot proof," but it would still be a bad user experience most likely (too much time spent compiling).
If your distro can't be forked into a "beginner distro" then it's fundamentally flawed IMHO.
To be clear, I've used Arch as my daily drivers for a while, and while it's not the best fit for my needs (I use Debian mostly), there's nothing that I experienced that was incompatible with a "beginner" distro.
No love for us Dvorak users :(
Oh absolutely; the folks who sat at home, are outraged that a fascist is in power, and are too dumb to understand how voting works to realize that they enabled it
they are infuriating.
It's kinda a weird take? Like if I'm in a discussion about some scary things AfD are doing and a left-of-center German joins the conversation, I'd like to think I'd have the ability to...you know...hear what they have to say about things.
There are a bunch of Americans who asked for this; there are a bunch who stood by and did nothing to stop it; and there are a bunch who tried to stop it, did not, and are devastated.
I guess at the end of the day it's just a meme.
You can also drop cache for debugging by running something like echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop-caches
But remember that the kernel knows best
this RAM will automatically be freed up when needed and you should never run this except for debugging (or maybe benchmarking).

I don't speak French but I may integrate this into my daily vocabulary.
As someone from San Francisco, I'd suggest at least looking into it as an option. (I'm a straight white guy though so maybe not the best source here...). In particular https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castro_District,_San_Francisco
For some color on the type of neighborhood it is, here's a recent incident. Unfortunately it involved some violence, but the good guys won (I don't think it should be triggering...): https://sfstandard.com/2024/07/11/nudists-save-tourist-attack-castro/
Of course, San Francisco being in the US, I wouldn't blame you for trying to find somewhere else. But California (and SF in particular) is very different than Trump country.
We breathed a huge sigh of relief when our kid got vaccinated (first dose at ~1yr old). I just can't fathom voluntarily not doing that.
I switched from raspberry pi and orange pi to a cheap Intel NUC, and I think it's just a much nicer experience.
The pi is great fun, but the HW transcoding on a NUC "just works," and the SSD and 16GB RAM opens a lot of doors. My N100 NUC was less than $150, and it included everything (case, power supply, 500GB SSD).
My pi found new life as an off-site backup: attach a big HDD, set up WireGuard, and have a cronjob do daily rsync and snapshots. I have it set up at in-laws, and it works great.
People often complain about San Francisco's public transit
and to be sure, it's not perfect by any means (multiple separate agencies doesn't help). But the historic streetcars are pretty neat!
They're painted with the livery of various historic streetcars from all over the country (and a few international, I think). Best of all, they run alongside the modern fleet
same route, same fare.
