To play devil’s advocate, tab completion would have also likely caught this. OP could have typed /mnt/t and it would autofill temp, or would show the matching options if it’s ambiguous.

I haven’t used it personally, I think Tailscale would help here. It sounds like it doesn’t require port forwarding, and uses Wireguard under the covers.

I’ve never heard of YumoHost, but I don’t get why preventing upgrades to an application deemed to have “issues” makes sense. If it has issues, wouldn’t you want to upgrade it when the issues are fixed?

One of the great things about Linux is that you can almost always just run whatever distro from the USB drive before installing (and just reboot without the USB drive to get back into Windows) So you can download a few ISOs and try each one for a bit before committing to anything.

This is nice if there’s anything specific that you need to work, you can try it and make sure it’s usable for you before making any permanent changes.

For example, I’m legally blind and use a screen magnifier. I tried a few distros to compare the built-in magnifiers before settling on one.

I’d also recommend using Ventoy on your USB. That lets you just plop ISO files on the drive and choose which one at boot.

I’m guessing it’d be cheaper for MS to just keep providing security updates for Win10 than to create a whole Linux distro…

One issue I can see with the points system is that people could just approve it with a “Looks good to me!” without even looking at the code. Or just looking at a small portion of the code.

What is /dev/pty23? From context, I assume another users terminal so it just spams garbage to their screen?

Something I don’t understand, was there not some kind of wheelchair on the plane for the flight? What if he needed to go to the bathroom? What if there was an emergency and they needed to evacuate?

Any idea what that first program was?
