So what? We’re going to keep getting it, same as with other viruses. Imagine people making this kind of post every time they sneezed.

And before someone calls me an anti-vaxxer, I’m not. We got the vaccine, now let’s get over it and stop obsessing

False, just go to old.reddit.com.

“available”

Cool, where’s the code?

Such horrible people, fighting back against senseless DRM

Ah yes, the US, Canada, and the ocean

Correct, users that are not explicitly configured as sudoers are limited both in files they can access and commands they can run.

Yeah, Linux was built as a multi-user system, so user and group permissions have always been a core aspect of it. The “password locked admin account” is just the root user, although you should maybe leave that as a “failsafe” account and create a separate user with sudoer permissions. Every file and folder in Linux has an owner and read/write/execute permissions for the owner, members of its group, and others. By default, users are limited to their own home folder (/home/username, where folders like Documents are stored) and a handful of world-writable locations (like /tmp) If you need more specific permissions, ACLs are also available. Or SELinux.

The biggest difference regarding distribution choice is that some distros ship with SELinux enabled, while most don’t. For everything else there’s not much difference, so maybe start with Debian for its community support/resources?

Yeah, that’s the error you get when trying to run an x86 program on ARM or vice versa

until recently, it punished anyone on Nvidia

My brother in Christ, it’s Nvidia punishing you for using Wayland.
