My plan is 500 gigs down, but my computer (Ethernet wired to the server) gets transferal speeds of about 4 megs down. Super cool

Coworkers =/= friends, keep your real life separate but be friendly

What generalization? You mean the widely accepted pain that comes from it?

I respect your opinion, but I’ll pass

You nailed it, the problem is the problem with having to troubleshoot by yourself as a newbie. Once might not be an issue, but every step feels like a new instance of a repeat problem. Thanks for the encouragement

I appreciate it, I was asking for help through Github and (when forced to) Discord, but the help wasn’t consistently helpful so I tapped out on that too

I appreciate the post, but I’m gonna pass on ever using Linux again. I’ll just keep my eyes open for when these things get ported to Windows haha because I think I’ll puke if I have to type sudo or curl again

It’d be an obnoxiously long comment chain, plus its starting to feel like its not worth the effort. I’ve found some Windows alternatives to the stuff I was trying to do since I made the point which has been great! Still missing some functionality, but its better than what I was doing a few hours ago

You forgot “sudo”! Try again

You’re better than me

I’ve got Docker up and running, but getting anything to work within Docker or getting a machine to access the services that it says are running is a different story

How so?

I tried that, but it wouldn’t install for me. I went through many guides and videos on setting it up, but something in the process failed every time

Trust me, you don’t want to get instructions from me. Just look at my post/comment history haha everything I touch breaks in ways that are hard to diagnose. I had to reach out to tech support, they got back to me in <12hrs

Second on that. The whole “it just works” slogan was frustrating when it didn’t work at first, but once it finally for running it was great

I like the idea and I appreciate pushing efficiency as far as one can, but looking at that makes me feel like I’d get frustrated just getting the OS to boot properly

Holy shit, that’s genius. I saved your comment for reference. This is probably how I’ll end up learning to make these things work

In my limited experience, that’s pretty accurate unfortunately. But with so many Debian tools becoming more popular, I bet that attitude will change soon

Can you give me some case use examples for VMs like that? My VM knowledge stops at emulating OSs for software compatibility and running old Windows versions for gaming.

Best place to learn the basic Linux I’d need to get this off the ground?
