    Bad meme. It’s fine to poke fun at linux but this whole “basic shit won’t work and you’ll need to use terminal commands” is propaganda at this point.

      Yeah, but for newcomers, I think this is a bit frustrating. Imagine moving from windows and then don’t know how to do basic things in Linux the way you usually do. But thanks to the community, it’s not that big a deal anymore.

            Huh, weird. That might be an artifact of the back end struggling to handle the user load. Sounds like a glitch at least to me since I’ve never seen or heard of that happenening before.

        It looks like some random B movie, set in the middle ages, so I don’t know how this is obviously Star Wars…

    i have to use yacy to feel secure about typing into the void.
    searx is good metaseach engine if you trust the person whos running it on their own hardware. it’s not that much private but it deserves some credit.
    there’s also tldr and zeal.
    manpages don’t really teach you how to do things. it just tells you what different switches do. although sometimes that’s a significant part. it feels like i’m reading the source code or something.
