If anything, I think it's people used to Windows or macOS that don't want anything to change that tend to hate Linux systems; it's not exactly Windows/macOS (and doesn't run exactly the MS Office and Adobe suits) so they hate it.

Wow they're all inactive, but thanks!

You might be stupid, yeah.

Are the sentences not making sense, is that it?

Is there a username_checksout community, yet?

Mainly memory safety; split (which is also used for other programs like sort) had a memory heap overflow issue last year to name one. The GNU Coreutils are well tested and very well written, the entire suite of programs has a CVE only once every few years from what I can see, but they do exist and most of those would be solved with a memory and type safe language.

That said, Rust also handles parallelism and concurrency much better than C ever could, though most of these programs don't really benefit from that or not much since they already handled this quite well, especially for C programs.

I can see how you were confused, but maybe don't phrase it like that next time lol.

That's true, I'll keep it in mind! I thought I was being funny but I was just confusing and crude

Wait it is? The last sentence looks jumbled to me... I could use “English isn't my first language” as a defence but I get the feeling I'm just slow or something

I've found it needed a lot of extra steps, plus fidgeting with the OSTree defeats some of the safety/stability of it all. Bazzite, at least, recommends against using OSTree blindly as that's meant for sysconfig and recommends using Homebrew instead, as this lives in your user space and touches very little; but even installing libqalculate gives memory issues. Most things I attempted to install did, actually. The Ruby interpreter installed just fine, and was the only CLI program that installed just fine IIRC.

Now, I feel like it's less of a hassle to Just Use Mint®, especially since I've got it installed anyway.

Funny you say that, I dual boot Bazzite and Mint, for gaming and everything else including programming, respectively.

Bazzite is a pain to install and use CLI applications in, but it's got a great default setup for gaming!

I didn't have terminal transparency available OOTB, and it didn't find my Nvidea GPU drivers, either.

Ubuntu-based Mint does, for me.

Okay now I got it from your explanation, thanks!

By the way, the first two Shadertoys aren't working for me, I just get “:-( We either didn't find the page you were looking for, or there was an internal error.”. The third one works, though...
