My first Linux install, I downloaded some tutorial from somewhere, can’t remember where (maybe someone on IRC shared it 🤔… IDK, I can’t remember), and this is litelarly what it said 😂.

You have to be prepared when installing Linux. Take a week or two off work or school and make sure you have the following things at your disposal.

• Find as many bootable floppy’s and as many different dostro CDs as possible. Why? The boot floppy from Debian might work with Suse, but not the Debian CD.

• Make sure you have at least two CD drives and floppy drives at your disposal. The more, the better. Why? You’ll probably burn out the first ones while trying to figure out which boot floppy goes with which distro.

• Have coffee at your disposal all the time. You’re at the bottom of the pot? Pour that in your mug and put a new one on the kettle.

• Stock up on as many different kinds of alcohol you can find, preferably strong stuff. Trust me, you’ll need it.

Lmao… it hurts because it’s true!! Debug these windows stack traces in Linux, here you go!! Exception happened at 0xEBFCEBFCBEBXBDBBWBXBENEKWWLLWLFFMLW

How I learnt there are normal dot net runtime and Desktop runtime.

No, but it sure is annoying having to switch in the middle of doing something especially when you’re working. (Also, there’s that pesky thing that happened to me as well where windows doesn’t play nice with the Linux boot partition and fucks it up) So there’s always going to be a main os. If you’re fortunate enough you can use an old laptop for windows. Or, if your computer is powerful enough run an windows VM. For me, Gnome Boxes offered a really easy to use experience of running windows. It worked out of the box, no special tweaks.

Unfortunately, yes…
