Yeah, whenever there is a problem with my computer, that's because I fucked it up 😄

sandeepb3057yHaha so true!! I always try and run Ubuntu or Fedora on my desktop PC but configuring something will just break it and will have to reinstall the OS again. I always end up going back to Windows because of this. I've had Fedora running on a server for over a year without issues though.

Linux438107yI'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. -
Linux438107yThe kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

penguin20147y@Linux I think we all know it's gnu/Linux, but realistically it's much easier to just say Linux.

I can really recommend buying a supermicro motherboard and build your own server :) -
@Linux might sound like a nice idea, but loads of games aren't supported by linux anyway, so i might as well just leave it as the small server it is for now
probably gonna get a raspberry pie as a teamspeak server though, then i can maybe even shut my pc down sometimes -
Linux438107y@aile11
What games are you hosting? Ofcourse you can rum a Windows server in a supermicro bostad, I rum a couple in my proxmox enviroment. -
@Linux bostad, proxmox, wtf
Well supermicro sounds like a full fledged server, so I guess... Expensive
For now at least, I don't need ab actual server -
Linux438107y@aile11
Autocorrect... Bostad = server
I bought my motherboard for €150, a 8 core xeon - €150. 12GB RAM - €200.
Total cost was about €500.
ab server wtf? -
@Linux but yeah 500 bucks is a bit much for a server that I basically don't really need
Well, I'll see, someday, maybe, it'll strike me as the best idea ever -
@Linux well, servers running on my pc... It's not really Necessary to put them on an actual server

philcr30567y@Linux I know the difference dude just Linux is easier than gnu\linux because that leads to loads of debate over how you pronounce GNU

@Linux I also uninstalled curl and http packages and my desktop and the terminal...

vergil7777y@daemonAD Could you tell me what third party software you used? I'm stuck with a broken dual boot because of doing a sudo apt-get upgrade. My computer directly boots to Windows 7

@philcr that's cz you're a student, kiddo, once you'll be mature enough and step into real industry , you'll have to eat this shit every day ;)

philcr30567y@captain-sully I'm not actually a student 😜 I've only worked as a Dev since 1998, Windows NT4, and red hat 4 are where I started,
I say I'm a student because everyday is a learning day. Nearly 20 years in the industry and I'm still learning at least one new thing a day! -
Linusero6077yYes... Archlinux user over here, I once got a kernel panic because pacman returned an error while upgrading the kernel and I said: "That will fix itself if I reboot" 😅
