    It’s not bad. It’s just assumes you know what you’re doing. That y/n option there, is one of them. I’m not a power user or anything, I know my way around a computer.

    I’ve been using CachyOS Linux since last October as my one and only OS on my laptop. It going great. There are some annoying stuff as well but that’s because of Linux in general and not CachyOS specific. Laptops have many Linux unfriendly hardware in them so, you don’t get full support out of the box if yours is brand new, however if you have a 1 or 2 year old laptop than it will most likely work out of the box. As for other examples of annoying stuff, I had problem with making my gaming mouse work and map the buttons, I went and asked AI to how to fix it and I’ve got it done. Because I couldn’t find anything specific in the forums. Or just the other day I was having problems with my gamepad button mapping and had to ask AI again to fix it and it did.

    As for what I’m doing when I’m asked a y/n question like the example given I do a quick search and 9/10 times the first link would be the answer I’m looking for and I choose accordingly. Or you can go the ignorant way and just chose yes to everything (which I did before) and you’ll be alright 99.9% of the time. I don’t remember having problems because of it…

    So, it’s not that mysterious or hard to understand and as a side effect you learn new stuff. Which is fun for me.

    John Swinton allegedly said the following in 1883:

    There is no such a thing in America as an independent press, unless it is out in country towns. You are all slaves. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dares to express an honest opinion. If you expressed it, you would know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid $150 for keeping honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things. If I should allow honest opinions to be printed in one issue of my paper, I would be like Othello before twenty-four hours: my occupation would be gone. The man who would be so foolish as to write honest opinions would be out on the street hunting for another job. The business of a New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to villify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same — his salary. You know this, and I know it; and what foolery to be toasting an “Independent Press”! We are the tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the string and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes.
