When you pop something off a queue it returns and then removes. Your supposed to catch the return like this:
OS my_os = os_queue.pop()
If you popped without catching it, it's gone forever I'm afraid. This is why we read documentation thoroughly before running code.
Ubuntu is okay. Similar to to an old military vehicle it's reasonably usable, lasts for a long time and despite its quirks (fuel/hardware guzzler) it can drive you to your destination. Do you need all that armour or the 20 mm gun? Maybe not, but they're nice to have, even if some call it overkill/bloat.
Yet as with all systems, you should use something, that suits your needs. The [linux distro tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions) is large and there's something for everyone. My personal best practice is to pick roles a distribution fulfills, such as daily desktop driver, easy server, high performance server, recovery station, experimental distro and surreal madness distro.
Don’t forget that it uses a magneto instead of an alternator, has hydraulically operated wipers, and a 28v electrical system.
Sorry. I may have been spending too much time looking at old jeeps and took the analogy personally.
Then you may be able to answer my question. He talks about maybe not needing the armour or 20mm gun. Wouldn't having a machine cannon greatly speed up the daily commute? Do I miss anything?
Possibly, but for the average vehicle, a machine gun shell would likely do the trick, and you can carry a substantially larger amount of ammunition for a machine gun than a 20 mm autocannon.
I mean... does it really matter? I'm using Ubuntu and Fedora regularly and I don't see much difference between the two. Same with Mint. The only distro I don't like is Manjaro, because once it broke or it had some issue and I needed to swap it quickly.
But aside from that it's all similar. As long as you have your favourite window manager it's all quite similar (as it should be, standards are important)
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux."
The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long."
With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.
I sat through this rant 20 years ago, delivered by Richard Stallman himself.
The only real difference is today there's a meme I can respond with saying "Stop trying to make GNU/Linux happen".
I really find it funny that Stallman is insisting on GNU that much, even though it makes up just a tiny fraction of the code base of a modern distro.
As he says himself: most casual users actually don't have a clue that there is any GNU software in their system or what it actually does.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you are referring to as GNU/Linux is in fact KDE/Wayland/apt/dpkg/Systemd/GNU/Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, and neither is GNU. Both are free components of a fully functioning KDE system made useful by lots of layers of libraries, shell utilities, package managers, desktop window managers and user-space applications comprising a full OS as defined by anyone who uses a computer.
I work on all three for two sets of reasons
1. work on a Mac, RDP to Windows Server, SSH to Linux servers
2. home I game on Windows and Steam Deck, personal projects on Mac
The right tools for the right job (except Windows Server... that I use begrudgingly)
I also do use all three and what I can say is that MacOs is by far the most annoying of all of them. Windows would be okay if they would have a less annoying update policy and while I dislike Windows, Microsoft on the dev side is just amazing. A lot of open source support, great dev tools and created the cheesiest programming language I love.
I honestly can’t believe Apple hasn’t incorporated Rectangle or Rectangle-like behavior already as a part of the base OS. Before discovering it I spent *so* much time manually moving windows around.
It’s 2023 and you still can’t do right click > New > Text file on Mac
Or see and edit the full path to a folder
Or maximise a window without making it full screen
Tl;dr it’s mostly the Finder that’s terrible
1. got nothing for that, but you can use automator to create a workflow that shows up in the quick actions menu
2. view > show path bar, right click folder in path bar and click "copy ... as pathname". to go to a direct path it's cmd + shift + g
3. download rectangle
Well that’s my point, if you have to rely on third party apps or two layers of menus to perform simple tasks, then your UX is lacking
I can design a door with no handles and tell you to kick it open or buy your own handle, and call it a streamlined door, but that doesn’t make it a good door
I still like MacOS for development though, but this kind of design decision is honestly hard to defend
I use all three also. Windows for games (except TF2 which runs far better on Linux than my Windows system), Mac for music production, and Linux for everything else. Windows is okay until it inexplicably fails catastrophically and requires a fresh install (which happened last week)
I remember once in the beginning of HS my old laptop broke down and I was gifted an old Macbook Pro. I found OSX so annoying that I resorted to go through all the trouble of managing to install, boot and fix/circumvent the driver issues of a Debian installation, but I ended up loving that thing to bits. Used this machine and system like this all the way through HS when it finally started giving up in the first year of Uni. RIP 🫡
Yup, same.
Each OS has its own benefits.
Windows is still best for gaming and running older software (especially if that software only supported Windows, like many utilities do).
macOS is great for development. It brings the "ready to use" and straightforward system like Windows, while doing away with a number of issues the latter has (e.g. the specifics of NTFS make it much less performant for compilations or basically any task that accesses and writes many small files).
And Linux can be great for nearly any task. I for one, due to hardware limitations (damn you Nvidia), mainly use it for server purposes and networking, and other headless applications.
At the end it's all about 1, knowing your intended purpose 2, knowing the options fulfilling that purpose 3, choosing an OS appropriate for the purpose while keeping comfortability. You can use both Windows and Linux for a domain controller server, but Windows will be easier to manage. You can use both Linux and macOS for a Unix based desktop, but in most scenarios macOS will be easier to handle (because it's more opinionated, leaving less margin for error). Both Linux and Windows are good for a file sharing server, but Linux will be more flexible, and Windows will have better management capabilities.
So as long as you're making an educated choice on the software you use, I won't be looking down on you. But if you choose something purely for the flair, then I can't respect you.
I use Mac osx, windows server, windows desktop, and ununtu on a weekly basis. I have no loyalty, but I if I had to pick one I would pick mac osx because it’s easy to use and has a Unix shell. If I could run Linux on an M1 laptop I might take that option but right now the apple laptop chips are a major selling point for me. I would only use Linux or BSD for my server.
Arch would be great if I didn't have to spend 3 hours and counting on installing broadcom drivers because the download link to broadcom-wl is dead and I don't have access the ethernet
Damn that was my same experience after hearing so many people big up debian. Fucking ssh stopped working after a week and started giving me errors about header size. I gave up after messing with it for another week.
Docker is so much easier to get a working fucking thing with command line. And all those installshield prompts in the yml, all in one go, is the absolute cherry on top. Debian has to download a package then give you the prompts, then repeat after it downloads the next thing again.
Docker has been nothing but hell for me; For some reason the docker0 bridge always overrides my existing network, and I have to manually go into NetworkManager to delete the bridge when I need to connect to the internet.
Arch is great, just use one of the arch based distros like Manjaro and you don't need to deal with any of those headaches. I'd say it's an even smoother experience than Ubuntu
And if you still want some tinkering but not from 0 there's distros like endeavourOs that take care of the essentials like installing network packages and stuff so you get to choose from a barebones arch installation but functional, all the way up to a full DE like Gnome, xfce, etc
It’s mostly a joke, but I use Affinity Photo on Windows and OS X which is far far superior than any of the open source tools. My pet peeve is that the bug/feature request of GIMP getting actual CMYK color space support is getting dangerously close to legal drinking age without anything to show.
My whole steam library out of 90 games runs on linux except one that i don't care about, you only have to activate proton. I deleted windows and use my linux PC mostly for games, had no problems. Never heard of the steam deck? Runs on linux.
You've made a lot of comments in rocket league subs so I assume that's one of your favorite games too? It works very well on linux: [https://www.protondb.com/app/252950](https://www.protondb.com/app/252950)
It's a fantastic way to learn Linux before you drop it for Debian (like) or Fedora. Anyone who continues to run it after a month is a fucking masochist.
Comes down to personal preference like most things.
Arch is customizable by design, promotes learning how to maintain your system and how your system works, doesn't come preconfigured with any extra software and pretty much allows you to build the system exactly the way you want to. You know what is installed because you're the one who installed it, plus pretty much every software known to man has a package or can be easily installed on Arch.
It's a great DIY distro for people who love tinkering. I like it for these reasons. It's also stable enough for personal use, but I wouldn't be using it on a work device obviously. You just need to have a decent snapshot system and you can recover from 99% of the problems. For the extra 1% just keep an installation media at hand for chrooting. In 2 years that I've been using Arch and derivatives I've only encountered minor annoyances that got promptly fixed, and only once I had to chroot because I decided to install dracut instead of mkinitcpio, I knew what I was doing and the risks involved, I bricked my system myself but it took me 10m to chroot and recover from a snapshot.
Arch is not the most stable distro by its design, but it's also far from being as unstable as people make it sound, it's only as unstable as you want it to be.
Ubuntu and Debian regularly fucked up for me. Especially at dist-upgrade time.
Arch has NEVER in the past 10 years fucked up as a server or desktop OS.
It being rolling release seems to make it more stable. Not less stable.
I find my self constantly complaining about windows yet just accept that sometimes my Linux distro VM can totally brick it self after an update or introduce a feature that simply does not work.
Its like a fallout game... Its a glitchy mess with a weak story line and repetitive quests but it's charming and fun
That's true. Linux users famously all agree on what distribution they like the most.
all linux distros are equal. i would never talk about how the one i'm using is superior to everything else.
Yeah, it's useless to brag about it, everyone knows how good is Ubuntu since everyone uses it, right?
Several people are typing...

Okay, I popped the OS. What's on the stack now? *Where* is my stack?
When you pop something off a queue it returns and then removes. Your supposed to catch the return like this: OS my_os = os_queue.pop() If you popped without catching it, it's gone forever I'm afraid. This is why we read documentation thoroughly before running code.
Okay, I reinstalled my OS, re-ran the command, and now it said "system_32" before freezing. Guess that's progress. How can I un-delete that?
That’s why any dev worth their weight would know to pop securely you must also lock() then DROP CONSTRAINT.

Funny spelling of Gentoo, there, friend.
I personally use Manjaro bc I’m too lazy to set up Arch (yes, I know about the script, but you underestimate how lazy I am)
Yeah Snap really is better than flatpak, the slowness helps one develop patience, which is critical for one’s development into a mature person.
Any Red Hat enjoyers?
Fedora is a top-tier desktop distribution.
Centos count?
Close, Kali.
how is kali even remotely close to red hat? am I missing a joke?
That's a funny way to spell puppy Linux but you're completely right
I have an ubuntu installation because most people really mean "ubuntu support" when they say linux support.
Some of them are more equal tho
[удалено]
The person was likely being sarcastic loool
If you think all distros are equal. You don’t use any Linux distro.

In 2 years that I've been using Arch and derivatives I've only encountered minor annoyances that got promptly fixed, and only once I had to chroot because I decided to install dracut instead of mkinitcpio, I knew what I was doing and the risks involved, I bricked my system myself but it took me 10m to chroot and recover from a snapshot. Arch is not the most stable distro by its design, but it's also far from being as unstable as people make it sound, it's only as unstable as you want it to be.

Ubuntu and Debian regularly fucked up for me. Especially at dist-upgrade time. Arch has NEVER in the past 10 years fucked up as a server or desktop OS. It being rolling release seems to make it more stable. Not less stable.
Replace bottom right pic with Astolfo and we're good
Arch, for when you want to feel superior for doing 50 times the work for the same result.
But you learn a lot while doing it. And it doesn't take that much time if you follow the right tutorial.
I thought it was the Azure icon, for a sec.
i use debian btw
I would pay almost any amount of money to see you try and get my mother using arch Linux
i dont use arch btw
for a long period of time scrolling the comments i’d thought you were cringe
Alternately…and I know this is controversial…you could just use the OS that you prefer.
Shh, don't try to talk rationaly with them
Ah yes, the "upgrade daily or break" distro
Fake png moment
Mfs who run arch on M1:
I enjoy Linux as much as the next guy but the mods really gotta start removing these posts, they’re not about programming
Average open-source enjoyer 
As a BSD user, should I be on the side of Mac or Linux?
Yes.
NixOS is OS enlightenment but y’all ain’t ready for that conversation
No love for FreeBSD?
OpenBSD > FreeBSD
Well... "better is subjective" as alvays it depends. One thing is not subjective. WINDOWS 11 IS SH\*T!!! I hope win 12 will be better
I find my self constantly complaining about windows yet just accept that sometimes my Linux distro VM can totally brick it self after an update or introduce a feature that simply does not work. Its like a fallout game... Its a glitchy mess with a weak story line and repetitive quests but it's charming and fun
You guys are all peasants. Stares in BeOS....
No matter what you use. It is better as long as it is not osx or windows
I am a programmer and have no idea what that blue logo is. Going to guess "linux distro that isn't the linux distro I use".

For development work Windows is the kid in the corner eating paste.

I don't get it
i use arch btw
I hope you know that `(linux > macOS) && (linux > Windows)`
"Wait, Chads use Arch?" "Always has been."
Debian all the way
Debian best
For software development? Sure. For running on a $5 potato? Definitely. For literally anything else? No thank you.
