Can you get a new-to-you computer that's at least moderately Linux-compatible and distrohop on that?
You should probably try two or three distributions at minimum and you'll probably need to, well, fuck around and find out which one you like the most, or pisses you off the least

Immutable distros limit you to flatpaks which still have annoying access issues.
I find myself uninstalling the flatpak and installing the system version regularly, even though it's older.
There's also appimages, but you can't use those for everything.
I wouldn't recommend immutable to people who want things to just work.

>IF i change, which distrubution should i take.
mint, ubuntu, or fedora. mint is the go to for newbies these days
>Is it easy to use it?
there will be a bit of a learning curve but not as much as if you had chosen another distro. these distros mostly work out of the box with lots of easy to naigate guis
>Can i set the system in a one night?
yes, but if it's your first time it may take a bit for you set everything to your liking

why are so many programming "help" groups like this? like, somebody will specifically opt into helping people, and then get frustrated when they dont do exactly what they expect. it constantly feels like im testing everyone's patience whenever i ask for help and its even harder trying to just learn everything myself, especially considering all the weird semantic differences in both the language itself and guides.

like i can imagine a full script in my head but i wouldnt know how to translate it into the language im currently using. and on the offchance that i *do* get the help needed, usually its just "oh just use the blah function", so its not like i just Dont Know How To Code or anything i just dont know the shit thats specific to the engine, and its not like i can just look it up in a glossary or something because the words can be totally different from language to language, like how "object" in one language can be "entity" in another, and object in *that* language refers to an object in an array or something, so theres just a huge language gap that i cant really cross without the help of others, which sucks because working with others sucks

I ask that bc I want to learn the language / system and got stuck without a clue on how to proceed, and because I don't want my homework done for me. I only learn by really grokking the most retarded-seeming details of the language, not by adopting "design patterns" or "best practices", which is purely about aesthetics and preventing feuds between codemonkeys.

I have to draw a line between smart and true genius, there just isn't a safe place to draw it. Emotions are going to affect perception, which will easily produce an effect where the kind and patient person seems more wise. Real genius (like yours) will tend to grow in a way which does value intelligence, except over time the capacity for recognizing how different a level of reasoning they enjoy actually is from everyone else makes continued tolerance difficult.

You are right, true wisdom is necessary to value mentorship and advanced teaching.

Because 99% of people who comment on these "support" forums don't know shit themselves. If they don't know the answer to your question they feel stupid and they hate that, so they will chime in even if clueless just to numb the feeling of being stupid. I used to waste time on these forums and subreddits until I got very proficient in a certain thing and realized almost every answer is retarded and nobody knows what they're talking about.

I'm officially washing my hands of the Wikimedia Foundation (aka Wokemedia Foundation) and Wikipedia. I've already been banned for years for doing protest vandalism but I won't even try to edit anymore as its not worth the effort as admins are always lurking recent changes to revert shit. Wikipedia has been taken over by mentally ill admins and a clique of "extended confirmed" users who anonymously label prominent figures as Nazis with paraphrased "reliable sources" (with a shitlist of sources they don't like) and push constant woke "facts" in the did you know section of the main page. They even broke the online safety act (and their own terms of use) a few days ago by showing a flashing image on the main page.

I looked at the financial reports and Wikimedia has scammed people out of almost $1 billion dollars over 25 years, when they only need a million a year to host mostly static pages from cache and minimal javascript like search suggestions.

Wikipedia needs to be investigated and admins forced to explain themselves. People are literally getting hurt because of Wikipedia. Jimmy Wales is the ultimate loser of the internet.

I researched "Looking Glass Linux" and it seems to depend on KVM. So you would have to remove that barrier. FreeBSD does not support KVM.

Yesterday I learned docker (via podman) works on freebsd ... and has for like 3 years. Is it simply terrible and thus people don't talk about it or is it something people aren't familiar with?

FreeBSD has better docker already, why would anyone bother?
>>
>>107662111
There are some things that are distributed only via docker. Using docker from freebsd sounds far less miserable when compared to installing linux to do it.

Could I read their docker compose or whatever and piece together what they are doing in realty to install the tool? Sure. Do I care enough to expend the energy to remake the wheel? Almost certainly not.

>From a purely job related point of view, it depends on if AI gets better at programming or not and nobody can predict this 100%
Programming has been through this before.

First it was "proper" programming languages and libraries. Who needs so many programmers? Just use a library that's already been written!

Then we had the whole WYSIWYG GUI editor craze. Who needs to program websites when you can just drag and drop all the elements using a GUI. Webpages made simple!

Now it's AI. What's the chance that it's going to actually replace programmers and won't instead be a tool that programmers use? Provided it actually works in the first place.
