From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I just want something as a proof of concept that this can be for me. I am aware I am the problem.

But everything is wildly difficult for me. I pulled back from docker after realising it was above my skillset, I just want to try home assisstant with a few lights but fair enough it is beyond me.

I opted to install a game, fail. Learn about wine and bottles. Start a bottle and get told I only have 8gb free in directory, I cannot for the life of me see where it is getting that from.

Please god someone tell me there is a step by step for the fucking imbeciles out there on where to start!?

@Squizzy you're not getting the full Linux experience if you can install everything on the first try, lol. sad but true

Hopefully I learn something

can we @neuralgh0st without the @wxw.moe ?

@neura ?

how does that work? @neuralgh0st@wxw.moe

[–] neuralgh0st@wxw.moe 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

@merde @merde you just write the @username@instance you want to tag

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

that's what i do ☞ @neuralgh0st@wxw.moe

your mentions appear without the instance and their format seems to be different ☞

[@neura](https://wxw.moe/@neuralgh0st)

it was confusing at first, now i see why

[–] neuralgh0st@wxw.moe 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

@merde that's how it is supposed to work, you can only see the "@Username", but it is a hyperlink to the "@username@instance". you get it now ;)

which app are you using for lemmy? Or, are you an in browser lemming?

[–] neuralgh0st@wxw.moe 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

@merde I'm not using Lemmy, I'm using Mastadon with the Android client called Megalodon

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

ah, thanks, that explains

good day to you

[–] neuralgh0st@wxw.moe 1 points 1 week ago

@merde I don't think so, here you need the username@instance
