Nice day to move to nixos ;)

That’s not where “it comes from” though. Since if it were,it wouldnt need to be half a page down.

It’s associated yes, but not in everybodies mind is that the case.

How does this comment say anything about that?

Its literally the first thing in the wiki page. “Line” between apposing forces is the “order”. ie Mantainers in this case.

The first time I heard the phrase was from a TV show with Mr Bean when I was like 9 or 10.

As another commenter said, I think the article guy is a bit sensitive or took it the wrong way, since “the thin blue line” when talking about maintainers is very much like they are acting as defense to “outside” forces. Whether that is good or bad for Linux, is debated.

A thin line between chaos and order. That line is blue if it’s the police.

Its simply the Police in general…

You scrolled half a wiki page to the part that fits your narrative.

The metaphor of a thin blue line is that they “the police” are not in the typical sense very large, like an army, but they do keep the order with a thin presence of rule and order. Sounds like what maintainers do in this case.

I like gnome, but i guess i could look at fedora.

I would like to stay with apt as package manager so the package names stay the same to what I know, or is yum/dnf/etc gonna use the same for most?

My work cannot manage permissions well so I cannot remove snap Firefox cos its in use by another user.

Meanwhile current snap version of Firefox is crashing on my profile

I… I… I don’t know why I haven’t done that myself. (Am now on NixOS btw) but for work maybe I ask for Debian cloud box.

Damn it’s not FOSS? Time to jump ship

In many aspects, the Rockchip RK3588 is the fastest consumer-procurable chip on the market.

SystemOnChip I would guess in this case. It ain’t no slouch.

Cool! But TUI is cooler!

Looks cool, but what should I look to do with it?

Using rust rewrite of coreutils you can cp -g to see progress. Set an alias :)
