Isn't it rf? Or do they both work?
3 0 ReplyIn most commands, the order of flags doesn't matter
14 0 ReplyTry it and find out.
spoiler
Don't try it and find out, they work the same
7 0 Replyr and f are just flags, meaning recursive and force, so it doesn't matter the order

on a serious note, is possible to never reboot?
like an high availability server that can't never go down, how do they manage kernel updates? *
- yes i know that now there is kube and docker etc and you can update the container with zero downtime. but how they did it 10 years ago?
6 0 ReplyKernel live patching, which basically rewires kernel functions at runtime, lets you update the kernel without rebooting. I don't remember how old that is though.
8 0 ReplyYou can go without rebooting if you always have power, don't care about updates (security) and don't run into bugs.
It's done with multiple servers I guess. One updates/reboots while the other ones don't.

In fairness to Windows, stopping users from doing really dumb shit is a feature if you're family tech support.
26 0 ReplyLinux will also stop regular users from breaking the system.
If you're family tech support, making them superusers is probably a mistake.
11 0 ReplySo Linux and Windows are the same in that regard.
Because you can also still uninstall Edge if you wanted, just not through the conventional means.

I mean, with admin powers you can still easily corrupt your windows system. Not too much different from sudo rm -ing everything.
5 0 ReplyWhat about stopping windows from doing stupid things by itself?

I have a Raspberry Pi and twice I uninstalled something with the goal of reinstalling it, only to realize that what I uninstalled was required to install anything. And I broke the desktop several times over.
I now use apt install --reinstall, I learned my lesson.
10 0 ReplyI'm just tech savvy enough to know that I'm not skilled enough for Linux. But Microsoft is starting to piss me off
6 0 ReplyYou are wrong. Linux got really easy. Check out linux mint. Hardest part is making the bootable USB. My elderly parents both like it. Installation is much easier than windows and online help is much more available also.
10 0 ReplyIf that's true, I'm happy to be wrong. Now to just stop being lazy
7 0 ReplyI'm FUCKING SICK of Windows bullshit, but Linux really scare me. My impression is that everything you do on Linux requires typing codes in the terminal, even the simplest tasks would require googling the right codes to type.

I wish it was like this. In reality Grub's suicidal tendencies catch me off guard.
When I was a noob I used arch for work (btw) and grub constantly broke in dire times.
Now I no longer use grub.

Gotta learn how to fix it somehow!
5 0 ReplyErr, you can uninstall Edge, Microsoft isn't blocking you.
It will just break as much as uninstalling the bootloader in Linux.
