    I ran it as my primary distro on my main machine for a while way back when. I don’t recommend that.

    What I do recommend is going though the entire process even if it’s just in a VM. It’s incredibly educational and will teach you a ton about Linux and OS construction in general. I used to recommend it to everyone I was teaching linux/ Unix too and all the students who actually went through it and completed it now have successful IT careers. 100% an incredibly valuable teaching resource, you will look at all OS’s with new eyes after you’ve built one bit by bit from source by hand.






  • Ok cool, if I may take a swing at summarizing what you said?

    What you are really talking about are the potential applications of AR (Augmented Reality), which I will totally agree with, that is a future state that is coming, unfortunately those apps mostly don’t exist for the consumer space yet, but they will.

    The apple headset being the first commercially available headset that does AR well.



  • Thank you for not being the rare rational outlook on AI and buying into the AI fear mongering, or the AI hype train.

    AI is the new auto hammer, it can do things faster and sometimes better. Why you can build a house faster and with less effort! Or you can bash someone’s skull in faster and with less effort! It’s just a new tool we can use, for better or for worse, like every other new tool before it.

    I use awk all the time, nothing too fancy, but when you need to pull out elements of text it’s usually way easier than using cut.

    awk {’ print $3 '} will pull the third element based on your IFS variable (internal field separater, default is whitespace)

    awk {’ print $NF ‘} gets you the last element, and awk {’ print $(NF-1) '} gets you one element from the last, and so on.

    Basic usage but so fast and easy for so many everyday command line things.
