My point is that if that is the case (and I do understand why) then i can't possibly recommend Linux to people that don't want their OS to be their hobby, because as for my experience they will come across something that needs some command line input.
But that's in my experience sadly very necessary especially in the beginning when you are getting into Linux. So getting into Linux has quite a steep learning curve because not knowing what you are copy pasting can have terrible consequences, but understanding everything before you copy paste is very demanding.When out comes to my main rig, i never had the experience of everything just working out of the box. There was always something that required me searching for obscure fixes, hoping for the best.
I am with you on this one. I do think it would be appropriate to have a disclaimer in the beginning, saying that these words used to have a different meaning, and that in the context of the time they were written they meant different things than today.There is a German book where this is done that uses the N word for people of color.This is the more appropriate way of handling this, because i am totally with you: we shouldn't change what was written in books. If we start doing that, we destroy what authors have done, and in a sense we also edit history, because in this case we try to erase that these words were used in another context back in the days.
Yes, you are right, but I meant the safety shutoff mechanism. Normally it just cuts the power to all dangerous stuff or brings it to a safe state. Here it's not "cutting the power to the magnet", it's physically releasing the helium and damaging the superconductor in the process.
Factorio. Do i need to say more?
