I enjoyed and appreciated reading this post.

"I realized almost immediately that GNU/Linux and FreeBSD were so similar they were completely different."

This right here.

My initial impression with #FreeBSD in 2006 was quite similar. Of course, #Linux back then was a much different beast than what it has evolved (mutated?) into today.

Had I not pursued Linux system administration as a career, I *probably* would have stuck with FreeBSD.

We can make all the technical comparisons between the two OSes all day long but what drove my interest and enthusiasm are (1) the documentation and (2) the community.

Orion is a GTK4/libadwaita WebKit browser that isn't GNOME Web, made by Kagi (of paid search engine fame).

An 'early beta' is now available for testing. While it's early days - missing features ahoy – the bones are solid.

Wusstet ihr, dass `grep` seinen Namen von einem `ed`-Befehl hat? `g/re/p` = "global / regular expression / print". Also buchstäblich ein Akronym aus nem Texteditor-Kommando aus den 70ern. 🐧

Linux ist manchmal wie ein archäologisches Ausgrabungsfeld – aber die alten Sachen funktionieren noch. Und das ist eigentlich ziemlich cool.

When I install Elementary OS, I have a thought of using "sudo apt install synaptic" so I can download and install packages through Synaptic Package Manager (like I used to love doing on my previous distro). However, after using eOS for a while and still not doing that, I start to think of "just because I can, doesn't mean I should" and I don't do that. Elementary OS already feels like it is designed this way. Packages only acceptable through AppCenter and Flathub (at least if being done through the official distro package manager that is called as "AppCenter").

I wonder about how the "Background Apps" being identified. I wonder if this is somehow related to the acceptable apps (from AppCenter and Flathub repositories). Do apps being shown on the "Background Apps" are already identified apps from these two "official" means? Also, as a matter of habit, I still reguarly do "sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade" and "flatpak update" on the terminal. I do that reguarly to keep my system updated and I rarely use the package manager "AppCenter" to check for updates. Therefore, as a thought of experimentation, I wonder if it is possible to use "sudo apt synaptic", and use Synaptic exclusively to install and manage packages. Will doing this have any effect on the stability of Pantheon desktop or the Elementary OS? Will it still functional if I use Synpatic exclusively and not using the AppCenter? This is just a thought, but I'm not doing this right now.

The thing that I love about Elementary OS and Patheon desktop is the ability of the system that "knows" what sort of front-end GUI apps that is running in the background... I keep wondering how Elementary identifies these apps. Is it the ability of the distro (Elementary OS) or the desktop (Pantheon DE)?

Run the following to see your PATH settings in easy to read format on screen:
```
tr ":" "\n" <<<"$PATH"
tr ":" "\n" <<<"$PATH" | lolcat
```
This is a little more portable
```
echo "$PATH" | tr ":" "\n"
echo "$PATH" | tr ":" "\n" | lolcat
```

a screenshot showing output of the `tr ":" "\n" <<<"$PATH" | lolcat` command to see your system's PATH environment variable in a readable and colorful format using lolcat command. This command will print your system's search paths using the `$PATH`, lists them one per line, and makes them look pretty just for fun. You can skip the `lolcat` bit if you don't want colors.

Lol #linux users still trying to understand why people ask for unreasonable things like working computers.

I still can't even that my now nearly 80 year old mom has been on Fedora on a thinkpad e520 (2011) for a decade and it all just works.

I checked her laptop just now and it's fully up to date on fedora 43, so she's done like 20 version upgrades autonomously too. The battery has degraded a little but the whole thing still works fine and she's very happy with it.

This is how things should be, this is peak computing tbh.

Artix Linux sure looks appealing all of a sudden. I think I might go ahead and install the Cinnamon edition with Dinit on my desktop. I've been wanting to do some distro hopping here lately, anyways.

May has actually been using her stack of laptops and learning that “legacy” distros make more sense, the Firefox flatpak performs better than other packages, Linux Mint is a fine distro, Linux has the best calculators, and GNOME’s scaling is really good now.
