The kernel does stuff like

  • process and CPU task management
  • hardware abstraction
  • memory management (at the process level),
  • file system managment
  • and resource isolation (such as randomized memory addresses (ASLR))

The rest of the OS provides the actual software that users interact with, like

  • file managers
  • desktop rendering and window management
  • settings menus
  • sound mixing between applications
  • graphics rendering

The composition is incredible. I wonder how this was taken, or if it's one of those hyper realistic drawings

It doesn't look AI generated

Edit: the reflection of the rope holding the swing doesn't match. The reflection is quite straight and clean compared to the reflection of the wood supports. Odd

I'd agree with you, for substantial weight

What I mean is, the weight of the clothes sit on your shoulders (which is a negligible amount), which i find much more comfortable than the weight on the hips (and the constriction required to keep pants from falling off).

Also, if you have a heavy tool like a cordless drill, you can hook them on overalls (to free up your hands) and the added weight won't pull them down, unlike pants

 

The weight of the material is supported by your shoulders, and not your hips, which is far more comfortable in general

In addition to having more room for pockets, overalls can carry heavier things without falling down, nor need for a belt

Since the weight of the material is carried at the shoulders, bending down at the waist is easier and less restricted. The waistband no longer needs to be tight, since it no longer serves a functional purpose

Go to a doctor or medical walk-in clinic

The internet cannot answer medical questions

All distros are equivalent, as far as software is concerned. They all have access to the same open source software, and Flatpak; AppImage; and Snap can be used for extra portability.

Think of a distro like a pre-configured image of linux. You can always change the configuration later, if you desire. For example, the Desktop Environment. All you have to do is just install a different DE package (usually via command line)

The DE has a major impact on user experience. Use KDE plasma for a more windows-familiar experience, or Gnome for a more Mac-familiar experience. Or experiment with others

The Linux Experiment is a good resource

How are you holding up?

Because I am a potato

It’s not a permanent one and it works for the time being, can’t see the reason for the downvotes honestly.

It's just a bad idea in general. A better option would be to patch the binary to use 15. They both have the issue of forcing paru to work with a library it wasn't explicitly designed for, but symlinking (or copying) 15 to 14 forces the hack to be "system wide" instead of restricted to a single binary

as well, your solution is "temporary" only if you remember to fix it, vs patching which is (by default) overwritten the next time paru is updated

it "works", but it's not something i'd recommend someone else do

You can either patch the binary

sudo patchelf --replace-needed libalpm.so.14 libalpm.so.15 "$(which paru)"

Or install paru-git

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/paru-git.git
cd paru-git
makepkg -si

Or do both, patch the binary, then use it to install paru-git (which is what i did)

I love arch, but I'm also a pedantic computer nut

It's not for everyone

That's not often communicated to kids, especially when forced to apologize

Most often, when this happened to me, i wasn't sorry, and i didn't want to say what i didn't feel
