Lenin watches Danton and decided his big losing moment was preaching reason to revolutionaries, losing his head in the process.
He studies hard the play book, decides to push hard with the revolutionaries and upends the Tsar and half the world.
100 years later Banon watches Lenin...
Its criminal what we call history in the States.
Depends on what you're beginning.
The risk of forgetting some critical part of the install is mostly mitigated by arch-install. Arch is one of the easiest to "learn the ecosystem" since all packages are delivered to you as the author wrote them, so your first time through is a chore, but afterwards you can pretty easily replicate what you land on.
There's a lot more decisions made for you in other distros, ultimately I found it frustrating to work backwards trying to understand what those were the more polished they came.
It is however; the absolute last place I'd point someone who didn't want to or did not have the time, no matter how good the arch wiki is: it doesn't read itself.
I did this for awhile...

If I remember whatever chef script I was blowing out mucked up something enough I ended up ditching it and manually rebuilding the timers as sysd units.
Even as someone who likes systemd since trying to teach init is pretty uniquely awful, I still have a load of one a year cron jobs I just use a BSD box for.
Fair.
I think in asking myself why I've never really held Linus conduct against him; he's this weird 1:1 situation.
He's unfortunately tasked with stewarding a project that runs the planets tech and it's his name on the tin. Which whether he likes it or not at this point, makes his identity wrapped up in the quality of the project. I absolutely don't condone the behavior, but I can understand how people handing you shit sandwiches becomes a personal attack of it's own over time.
It's probably a lesson we'll refuse to learn about not doing this single leader thing again. Time and insularity tend to make bigger assholes of us all.
Hey holy shit! Someone else who knows this is in there! Two of us!
I got around this just using a local IPC on whichever box and a wlroots compositor (I think river right now? They're all tiny). Wezterm is just locked in a remote multi plexed session I can fire scripts from the one with a keyboard. Startup isn't really noticeable in wasted time, but it isn't nothing. Consider this a promise to circle back if I do find something, it would have been a pain in the ass at another job.
Broadly I think it's funny a lot of the same people who taught me the Unix philosophy don't seem to understand the irony of refusing to move from the monolith. (Not that that's you specifically, but Wayland actually gets it right for the most part).
The defense you hear from people like me is less fingers in ears that there are problems, and more the response to people who have tried nothing and are out of ideas on how to arrive at the same place differently. Im currently doing several things I was AGGRESSIVELY informed were impossible and wouldn't ever be, but there's so few people using some of the functionality in xorg I wonder if its back to hacking things together with pipes and scripts for the niches, remote display pretty much has been superseded by the common web server.
I started IT hearing stories of migrations back and forth from xorg/plan 9, and I did some of the troubleshooting in the early xorg era. you can trust me or not when I say I will choose the situation with xorg/Wayland now infinity times over that.
Even as a toy language if I can't tell what it's doing beyond interface with an llm prompt.. What good is it?
Consistency and validity of output is essentially impossible to prove, because this has all the accuracy of both humans famously bad at explaining their problems to machines who understand 80% of it.
You're just the latest member of a long and storied fraternity of the best worst operating system architecture.

One of us...
Just a reminder people who can't beat Lindsay Graham aren't worth listening to electorally.
Hey cool, it's that a person who caused this mess telling me what to do about it.
Here's what liz should do.
Invent a time machine.
Actually endorse Bernie instead of help the establishment beat him back.
You don't get to lead the resistance as a collaborator liz.
We have so short memories we forget Biden' rode in preaching accountability and on the heels of George Floyd's murder. And then for at least some of us failed to deliver.
If you were listening, she gave plenty of reasons to send a message back right out of her own mouth.
Condemning a genocide would have been an easy win for one, but it's one of a dozen. She ran a campaign to hug the center, she got all the voters that will get you because 70/240 million possible Americans aren't persuadable. But it's all she tried. Gun control, health care, labor rights, dropping death penalty reform from the platform, a campaign run to save us from Republicans... With a bipartisan panel involving Republicans.
I'm not for an instant insinuating there isn't a problem with both race and sex in America, but the problem is the people fighting it from the top are idiots who can't do basic math. There were plenty of votes to win among the 80-110 million people who are eligible, but didn't.
No I don't think they're going to be better off, but the blame is not giving them the thing they want to vote for. They outnumber you. They would have beaten Trump.
Its the same problem as standardized Unix systems in the 90s. There's more ideas on how to implement hardware than there are hands to integrate driver software.
When it comes together it'll be because we either make the manufacturers warp around something like POSIX, or provide a common target on phones like the steam deck.
Otherwise every hardware generation will get the undescribable misery of supporting the last one, from the one they're on, while writing the next one. The problem tends to compound.
Evidently I'm similarly old, but a lot of the TUI apps replacing old standards look better.
Whatever wezterm uses to render ligatures has made editing quite pleasant, it doesn't eat random control characters either which I found insufferable in a few that ship with DEs. Its still miles better than the cart, YMMV depending on what you use it for.
