  • Yup, it was debian. I think I tried adding another repo, but gave up before I got it to work. I didn’t try to just download the file, because I had done that before and all I could do is extract whatever is inside the file, but not install it.

    It was around 2 years ago, maybe Linux has gotten that much more user friendly in the last two years, but I doubt it.


  • I just wanted to install steam, but it wasn’t in the package manager list.

    Then I tried apt-get and that didnt work, I forgot why.

    You don’t have to do seriously advanced stuff on linux to run into issues without using the terminal.

    My point was, even if you actually do some advanced stuff on windows you still don’t have to use the terminal.

    It’s not realistic that you don’t have to use the terminal on linux if you want to do any more than web browsing and some text editing, etc.

    That doesn’t mean that linux is bad, but let’s be realistic about what it is.






  • Here in Germany we mostly use traffic cameras to enforce speeding laws. Unless you are driving way too fast you will most likely not get pulled over by police, instead some police officers set up mobile (and well hidden) traffic cameras in problematic areas which will fine anyone going too fast.

    We do still have some traffic police, but we dont have as many as in the US. They will pull you over if they think you are under the influence or because your car has illegal modifications or is broken in an unsafe way.

    I cannot believe that people in the US can just modify their vehicle or let its condition deteiorate so much that it is unsafe and its completely legal.

    That is not the case here in Germany and it does probably help make it safer, even if some people, who would do a safe modification, cannot do it because its too hard to get it certified.
