The ports were all on the same bus! You can send signals meant for any of the three of them into any of the three of them and it’ll work.
Well, the memory card slots and Serial Ports 1 and 2 anyway. The Game Boy Player connects via the parallel port.
The Famicom had a modem with online shopping and horse race gambling. It also had a floppy disk module with a ram adapter that also added an extra audio channel. Zelda 1 and 2 debuted on this. It also had 3D goggles, the predecessor to the Virtual Boy. It also had an entire keyboard that plugged in, and a cartridge packed with sprites, tiles, sound effects, and example code you could hack up and save to another add-on: a cassette tape recorder that saved your game projects encoded in audio.
The Super Famicom had a radio receiver that clicked onto the bottom that downloaded new games from space.
The Game Boy had an entire cartridge pin for audio passthrough so future tech built into cartridges could preprocess sound and send it straight to output.
The N64 also had a floppy-disk loading module.
The GameCube had a module that plays DMG, GBC, and GBA games (but more importantly turns the GameCube into an actual cube).
Micro is Nano but the commands make sense. It’s so nice.
It even prompts you for a sudo password when you try to save but don’t have permission.
You can get Gnome on Fedora. It won’t have Apt.
Packages will have a different naming scheme based on the maintainers’ preferences, even between Debian and Ubuntu (though those are usually pretty minor).
Your muscle memory is gonna trip you up for a while though.
I’d suggest the KDE flavor of Debian, then. Its settings manager is divine, and its software management platform ties every other package management system in (apt/dpkg for Debian, yum for Redhat, pacman for Arch, plus flatpak, nixpkg, and even snaps if you absolutely must). By default starting in Plasma 6.0.
More to @fmstrat’s point, and to suggest a possible cause your friend had that impression: if you install the Minimal flavor of any distro, you’re going to get a minimal experience.
My guess is: prior to Bookworm, when they started including non-free firmware on installation media by default.
And pin other repos so Ubuntu doesn’t replace it. And change the apt.conf rules that alias out apt install commands for the snap install equivalent. And whatever the countermeasure is for the next sneaky ploy they put into action.
Firefox now has instructions on their “Debian-based” install section about pinning their repo over Canonical’s so that doesn’t happen.
Because you’re right, Canonical does think so highly of their product that they will constantly attempt to undermine other options against your will.
Always was.
I was looking for some excitement in my life so I installed Arch on my primary device.
I’m disappointed. I’ve had zero issues.
Okay, one issue, but I had that with Debian too. (recovering from sleep mode)
It’s okay. That’s how you know how stable we are.
You already said Debian. The rest is redundant.
Thank you! I wonder if it holds up. There’s no way it holds up.
Also I am now aware that there is a sequel. I don’t know what to do with this information.
Okay now what was the one where the kid can step into the art on a stamp and get mailed around the world? I watched it around the same time as Explorers, which is also a fever dream.
It is. The cracker in the second panel lists several benefits of systemd, including declarative config.
You can launch single applications with X forwarding, and X can launch applications without a desktop.
Depending on needs, a web interface may be better. Like Cockpit or something more application-specific.
