  • I could, if only I knew they existed :)

    I only learned windows had system-level crash logs by reading someone’s post about many programs ignoring that and thus it being way less helpful than one might expect it to be, while on Linux it seems something that gets picked up quite early: the system can write “check logs using journalctl something-somethng”, vast number of posts asking to provide system logs with the commands to get them, various troubleshooting guides mentioning system logging. Though in the end this difference can be traced to difference in philosophies: neither microsoft, nor most authors of online guides have a habbit of troubleshooting things this way

    /triggered/

    Oh hell no. My basic critical thinking applied to googling has got me to a forum with the solution to wi-fi not working in the form of “meh, it happens. reser all network settings and reboot”. Which became my personal turning point of “fuck this shit, I’d rather have actually debuggable software”

    /cooled down/

    Well, your point read as “look at the problem, search for solutions and you probably will find them” stands, it is the low competency bar that triggered me: to even know where crash logs etc might be on Windows is far beyond even “power user” level


  • After seeing folks on lemmy who wiped their /boot and did other funny stuff I must ask you: do you think your argument is all that righteous?

    The idea of immutable distributions does not trigger me: there are valid use cases for that too. But the whole parroting of brainrot “I’ve got my system fucked, so immutable distros go brrrrr” sounds more and more like a band of childlike people looking for anyone to blame but themselves

    I don’t care if something could or could not have been prevented with immutability with my system, but I always care of the following: this next thing I am going to do with the system, am I prepared to deal with it if something goes sideways or not. Now that looks like a burn to you or what?









  • Tried, it irritates me. And nope, I never said my workflow is the best. I answered to your “wild” part. There is nothing wild in coding in vim. And yes, people proclaiming vim family is the greatest thing there is are no better than people proclaiming that only full-fledged IDE can get any job done
