Crazy stalker. I have no idea who it is. Reported it to the police multiple times but nothing came out of it.

.sh files are shell scripts, they’re comparable to Windows batch files or newer powershell scripts. They can be useful for tools with lots of dependencies which they then download on their own, so you often see them when you want to install something like LLM tools from Github or whatever. They’re easy to put together and easy to edit, even for the user itself, unlike a precompiled installer.

Well, he’s ugly as fuck on the inside too so I guess that just checks out now.

Yeah, but Windows partitions are pretty easy to understand since you don’t have a bunch of different extra partitions and filesystems that also differ between distros. You typically just make a C partition, pray that its size will be enough for the next years, and then make a second one for all of your data. You don’t have to think about root and boot partitions, which filesystem to chose, which name to give, how and if you should encrypt which partition, etc. etc. It’s all much more streamlined and well documented. On Linux every distro kinda does its own thing, so you can’t even just quickly look shit up. And if you want to encrypt things, suddenly all the guides are invalid anyway. It’s just messy and obtuse.

Just throw some of the popular distros on your USB stick. Most of them have live bootable environments to play around in for a first glimpse. Figure out what desktop environment you like most and go from there as a starting point for an installation. Since it’s a system you don’t really need you can just freely experiment without being afraid to break things. Worst case is that you have to re-install, or swap to another distro. Fair warning though, some of those laptop components can be very exotic and may not have drivers, specifically things like network, Bluetooth or sometimes even audio chips. Highly depends on the laptop but be aware that there may be some things not running as smoothly as you may want.

Oh yeah, suggesting Linux partitioning to a noob… lmao I use Linux for years with many distros and I still don’t understand this part.

I’m sick too and by the looks of it I have to go out grocery shopping in the rain on Monday while trying to preserve as much food until then (primarily bread). T_T

That’s what we’re trying to tell you. It’s not based on that at all.

It’s not “the core”. It’s simply an outdated distro that’s not used nor maintained anymore. It was used for the Steam Machines, their attempt at a console-like PC, which failed to garner enough interest. Current Steam Deck’s Steam OS is a completely different system and has nothing to do with this one.

as long as you can keep the chip cooler than 90°C

I’ve yet to see a laptop that can go through heavy load without throttling. The little cooler, which also cools the potential extra GPU, all with a tiny fan, are just a joke and sound like a jet engine.

Considering that every news paper nowadays has online articles and that you can’t find this alleged article about “the most extreme case of Couvade Syndrome on record” anywhere, and all the other weird things in this wall of text, I’m inclined to believe that this is fake.

What? That’s the album OP added to the post (none of which are topless). lol Try finding that alleged “the most extreme case of Couvade Syndrome on record” article.

Debian based is alright, I’m more against it for being based on Ubuntu. Also con: apt

Not recourse hogging like KDE

Really not that bad nowadays.

Stop spreading disinformation (again). Wayland was a fucking mess and caused countless of issues, especially in a lot of “edge cases”. Meanwhile, dumbos were spreading lies about how it runs perfect and without issues while I kept switching back to X after merely minutes to hours whenever I tried to use Wayland again. It’s just bullshit that never was grounded in reality. Even now there’s games & applications who don’t run with Wayland, and likely never will since they have zero incentive to do so or aren’t even in active development anymore and that stupid X11 bridge still is required to run in the background for a lot of them.

Ok Boomer.

Here’s some ads for blood bags! Also, hot VILFs near you!

Whatever delusions makes you feel better. I’ve proven you wrong already so I’m done here. If you want to hold pointless internet arguments I suggest to look for someone else.

Stop projecting.

CoNtExT.

Always double down when proven wrong. The true mastery of the fool.
