Jan 13 03:24:11 <AwesomE123->	So what's your linux of choice?
Jan 13 03:24:41 <HelenasaurusRex>	Debian.
Jan 13 03:24:43 <neoncortex>	the simplicity of 'having a button' is charming, but the flexibility of having commands is much better.  It is evident when you start doing advanced things, and write GUIs.
Jan 13 03:25:31 <neoncortex>	the solution is having GUIs that execute commands.  Hence, IRC.
Jan 13 03:33:39 <neoncortex>	and it is interesting when you look at plan9.  That is also the conclusion the unix guys reached.
Jan 13 03:33:58 <neoncortex>	of course I'm not advanced as them but yeah xD

Jan 13 04:25:03 <blobdog>	AwesomE123-: choice of linux changes depending on what you need it to do
Jan 13 04:25:09 <blobdog>	debian is good all-around, very stable
Jan 13 04:25:53 <blobdog>	if you're paranoid about security and you want a live distro, you might want to take a look at Tails: https://tails.net
Jan 13 04:25:54 <LinuxBot>	^ Tails - Home
Jan 13 04:26:12 <blobdog>	supposedly a portable operating system that protects against surveillance and censorship
Jan 13 04:27:17 <AwesomE123->	Heard about tails. thanks for the example.
Jan 13 04:31:21 <blobdog>	compiling the kernel yourself is an option if you want to save on limited system resources and have an image tailor-made to your hardware
Jan 13 04:31:45 <blobdog>	or if you really need some kernel feature that isn't available elsewhere
Jan 13 04:32:46 <neoncortex>	I would suggest Gentoo and a custom build.  But that is not beginner friendly.
Jan 13 04:36:54 <blobdog>	Qubes OS is good if you want to containerize every program you're running
Jan 13 04:37:45 <blobdog>	or if you want to try multiple distros at the same time
Jan 13 04:38:04 <Elw3>	"english" best of answers you want to get for "what language do you need help in?" hehe, just seen such conversation.
Jan 13 04:44:32 <rindolf>	neoncortex: real programmers use "linux from scratch" ;]]
Jan 13 04:44:46 <neoncortex>	ha
Jan 13 04:45:58 <rindolf>	i only read the https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+linux+works+book&atb=v140-1&ia=web pdf

Jan 13 04:52:43 <neoncortex>	rindolf: one day I will be a real programmer!  Typing binary code, and doing the shifts by head.
Jan 13 04:53:06 <neoncortex>	I just need a real machine first ..
Jan 13 04:53:10 <neoncortex>	that will be harder.
Jan 13 04:59:36 <rindolf>	neoncortex: get yourself an Intel 1001: https://www.shlomifish.org/humour/fortunes/show.cgi?id=sharp-perl-bit-by-bit ;]

Jan 13 05:01:46 <neoncortex>	heh
Jan 13 05:12:16 <rindolf>	neoncortex: \o/ " Chuck Norris is a real programmer. He writes programs by implementing the most optimised machines for them using real atoms."
Jan 13 05:15:11 <rindolf>	there was a slashdot feature about succeeding to make a transistor out of 3 atoms
Jan 13 05:15:18 <neoncortex>	he place the atoms by looking at the disk plates with pure rage.
Jan 13 05:17:54 <rindolf>	neoncortex: "Chuck Norris dosn't code. When he sits next to a computer, it just does what he wants"
Jan 13 05:20:30 <neoncortex>	like that xD
Jan 13 05:46:46 <Indysayne>	Finally beat that game.
Jan 13 05:48:06 <rindolf>	Indysayne: which game?
Jan 13 05:48:19 *	Indysayne tips Fedora
Jan 13 05:48:30 <Indysayne>	The Great Circle :D
Jan 13 06:17:20 <HelenasaurusRex>	rindolf: Chuck Norris likes to program the most deadliest roundhouse kicks performed by bot.
Jan 13 06:19:20 <rindolf>	HelenasaurusRex: heh... I prefer roundhouse bans ;]
Jan 13 06:19:29 <HelenasaurusRex>	haha
Jan 13 06:20:20 <rindolf>	roundhouses K-lines?
