   Because people say "open a command prompt". That can be a terminal emulator, a kernel console on screen+keyboard, a terminal via serial port console, or a ssh connection, and usually it doesn't matter which.

   But why would anyone use Omarchy (based on Arch) and not use Gentoo directly? Not a separate project based on Gentoo, but a Gentoo Reference System [1]? Gentoo already has all dev tools installed - they're an indispensable part of the

   There's no 4G old Nokia that I know of. I've been using a N86 for the last 10 years. It's a true ship of Theseus - no part of it is from the original phone. The problem I have is that the 3G networks are all gone and the very

    Except for the dot after "priority:background", that's a valid YAML. I tried 3 online converters to JSON and all of them worked with no footguns. So maybe "the yaml document from hell" is the actual problem, not YAM

    So why not give "the yaml document from hell" in KSON as an example so we can see for ourselves how good it is?

    Thanks for the research. You might be right. I had CRTs and plasma side-by-side and then I had plasma and IPS side-by-side. Plasma and CRTs looked about the same to me, while IPS looked a bit worse, but that might be because of analog vs. d

    Alan Mackenzie from Gentoo mailing lists wrote a scrollback patch for the kernel that also supports gpm mouse select/copy from the scrollback buffer. Unfortunately, the patch is not frequently updated to new kernel versions. https:&#x

    UEFI and ACPI had nothing to do with it. X86 and servers existed well before ACPI, or even PCI, or even ISA PnP(!) were invented. X86 always had standards, they all had the same two 8259 interrupt controllers, same CMOS RTC, same timer, sam
