I don't find this surprising at all. So many windows updates broke dual booting over years. They really don't care and have no need to.
They don't change things just for the sake of it. They change things so they can point at it and say, "look what I did! I deserve a promotion!"
You didn't get any instructions before hand? Is this in higher education or earlier?
You having regrets depends on your expectations. If you want a very stable system with little maintenance then you'll be happy. Packages will be older but that's what makes it easy to keep stable.
I'm not personally a fan of vanilla Debian because the stable versions are a bit too outdated for the things I like to work with. I do use Debian derivatives though the LTS versions.
Why is this in politics?
I trolled myself by "learning" that I could delete all files in a directory, including hidden files, with rm -rf ./*
. The mistake being that I (more than once...) accidentally put a space between the .
and /
.
They actually have those. Some are more like stores but a while back (maybe 8+years ago) it looked like a DMV if you needed to swap your hardware out. Long lines and terrible customer service
It likely is. The browser UI is also really old.
I was newish to Linux and had just run rm -rf ./.*
to remove all the hidden files/dirs in a directory. I then wanted to run rm -rf ./*
to clear the rest, but I accidentally ran rm -rf . /*
. By the time I noticed it was taking too long and hit Ctrl+C, it was too late.
Had a team of 10 working nights and weekends for a month because someone in sales sold a contract for an integration with a 3rd party that didn't exist yet. In the years I was there after that project shipped, only 1 person even looked at the feature, one time. It never actually got used
How the hell did it have such an insane valuation?
I haven't regretted it. Did a road trip across the country. Takes more planning because chargers are more sparse than gas stations, but totally doable. Having a place to charge is a must. I lived in an apartment complex without charging and REALLY had to plan my charging sessions or it could get stuck in the parking garage.
