What doesn't make sense is your use of the term "offline editor" - it's entirely nonsensical in this context. If they can't use an offline editor, they won't be any better with an online editor. It's like saying you need a 4 door car because you can't drive a 2 door car - it's the same thing with more seats. Photo editing is photo editing regardless of where the software is hosted.

I'm currently using Arch and doing the same thing. I learned more than a decade ago not to even bother with asking questions to the community at large. Bunch of self righteous dicks they are.

This guy makes some of the best Linux content on the Internet. This walk through is spot on and if you're having trouble with the written guide, watch the video and you can do it along with him in several different scenarios. I can't say enough good things about his content.

At all three tiers (low, mid, and high end), out of those three available brands, you always want brother.

Huge thanks for this. I'll look at them tonight.

"like mini lightweight VMs"

That's exactly how I've approached it cause that's exactly how it was explained. But it's not at all like that. Thanks for your explanation.

I jumped into Docker feet first a few months ago and have not had a real good time with it. Networking doesn't make sense, I can't ever seem to access config files without dropping to su -, all the tutorials and videos I find are pretty top level and assume the user already has a firm grasp on it. It's great for drop in stuff like open speed test and Vaultwarden but I recently tried setting up dashy and I can't even find the config files to edit. The Dashy documentation says the easiest way to edit the configs is to use code-server, so I spun up a code-server VM and can't even get it to open the files because the web based VSC doesn't allow for SSH editing. There's nothing explained in the documentation beyond that.

Yes I'm frustrated but I'm not bitching as if these solutions are trash, I'm simply asking where can I go to learn this shit from the ground up? It doesn't make any sense to me from the perspective that I've approached it. Networking seems to be silly and weird, entering an interactive TTY to the container seems to be useless as there's no package manager and doesn't seem to have vim, nano, or any native way to edit configs. It's been extremely frustrating so I ask you, where can I learn what I'm doing wrong and how to properly work with Docker?

I can second this. I've had two bricked System 76 systems because the DC jack burned itself right off the board.

TL;DR: ChromeOS is Linux but it's not Linux but it's a Linux so count it as a Linux but not Linux. Half.

I always thought the Red Hat business model was based around service and support with the OS being a secondary product which is why the free forks existed. When did the OS become the product?

Arch and Debian. I have two home PCs with all my data on an smb share. One runs Debian 12, the other runs Arch. When I sit down I decide which I want to use and go. I couldn't pick one I liked better so....I didn't.

Parallax II no question.

I was just about to reply that perhaps they didn't quite realize it was a Hitler quote, then the Vice article showed a picture of the quote in print with it clearly attributing Hitler. Yep, go on ahead and get fucked.
