Yes, I know this is the place where everybody loves to rice and have complete control over their system, but unlike some people who use Linux, I actually have a job and things I need to do.I have been daily driving Linux, and it is very good, but I was wondering if it is possible to still have a good understanding of Linux systems on what some may call a “normie” distro like Ubuntu. Do I really need to use something like Arch or Gentoo to learn Linux? And if I do use Arch or Gentoo, am I even really learning Linux? It kind of seems I would learn more about the package manager and whatever other stuff it uses instead of actually learning Linux systems.
>>108508335basically nothing. You have only advantages by doing this way, except for the urgency of having to figure it out because you're out of a PC.

>>108502677I think you should start with an easy distribution but don't get accustomed to the affordances it offers to make things easier. Always ask if there's a terminal-based way you can do X or configure Y, etc. If I'd started on SuSE and used yast for everything, I'd have never had the career I managed by going Slackware - RedHat - Mandrake - Debian. Last thing you want to do is start in Arch and have no fucking idea where to start. Try Fedora or openSUSE, but make a point of removing the training wheels. Also Ubuntu is cancer. Specifically snaps are a kind of tumor.

>>108511349Frankly I don't know. In my eyes the reason that FOSS software is great it's because of it's community, and the main defining attribute of it is (among other things) that it cares.If you ever seen a sperg around /g/ saying that "the moment we get the 'year of the linux desktop' it will oficially be over'" then you probably saw me.In my eyes, companies fold and bend over for their userbase when there is a financial incentive of doing so, thus, any company that pisses off it's userbase enough will find itself (Eventually) bankrupt.It's not an anomaly that Windows is shit nowdays, it's the direct result of an userbase that legitimately has no fucking interest on what's going on under the hood of their OS. That is "the average user", personally I don't want them to come over to this side, not only because they are a pain in the ass but also because the suits that found ways of nefariously making money through them will stalk them, eventually swooping inside.
>>108511454You're right for the most part, but you omit or don't know an important detail: financial incentives from the userbase don't matter when you have direct access to an infinite money printer or (((donations))) from parties with conflict of interest.Windows is like that, and Linux is already becoming like that as well.It has been shown over and over again that woke stuff doesn't make money, yet these companies/corporations keep throwing money at it. The Blackrock CEO himself admitted they were funding and artificially propping the whole thing.
>>108509855You could probably just do this with grub but you would have to write the config from scratchYou would have grub try to detect the rescue usb using whichever method like a specific uuid or partition name and then generate a menu entry for it, and then have a menu entry for the other usb, and because the default boot entry is usually the first entry it will automatically boot the recovery usb if the menu entry was created, otherwise will boot the other one.
>>108510175You can have the disk unlocked on boot remotely through ssh by adding dropbear to your initramfs
>>108511735I think I can actually do it just using efibootmgr. I could be wrong here but I think when you specify the disk with the /dev device path using the -d flag, though it takes the filesystem path as an input, it just uses that to get the PCI path to do the actual mapping with, otherwise you would risk messing up your boot entries by plugging other devices in, right? Last time I checked /dev/sda or whatever is not guaranteed, at least not always, and they wouldn't rely on something like that for something as important as boot (I hope).>>108511751Do you mean using SSH to enter the passphrase? Not a bad idea, but I would prefer this server to be as hands off as possible.
I hate the shitty threads you people make. I want to share what has opened my eyes, for other novices like me, who are trying to leave Winslop 11.This thread is supposed to put you on the right track to making your own decision, after reading this thread the fog of Linux won't be there anymore, you will know what you want and you will find the distro that is suitable for you.> 1. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1b/Linux_Distribution_Timeline.svgThis old image includes 95% of all Linux distros in existence, study this.Studying this image alone, is going to help you see through idiotic arguments like "mint is better" or "go with arch" or "go with pop_os" -- most of them have a parent OS.> 2. Distro arguments are pointless. #1 choice that you must make is what family Linux do you want and pick.If you studied image above, you will see there distinct few families of Linux, the relevant ones are: Debian, Fedora, Arch.

You have good info but are ranting and it is overwhelming. I suggest you make something like this:"In the GNU/Linux world there are three main branches, each with their own package manager and community. They are: Debian (apt), Arch (pacman), and Red Hat (dnf-rpm).

What are some dead programming languages and frameworks? This piece of shit is rightfully mocked on hacker news and reddit. I don’t understand how anybody could ever tolerate a dynamically typed language. Static types are necessary for a language being a useful engineering tool and not some entry level, poorly scaling baby crayons.
