Whatever else he may have said, Marx's version was much better. "From each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is a much better way to run society as a whole.

If I'm reading that correctly, yeah all you should need to do is install the AUR package. 1.1-1.3 in that section are different options that don't depend on each other.

Why are you posting links to Wikipedia? I'm not particularly bothered, just curious.

There is and there isn't.

Some things are pretty standardized. Users and groups, permissions, systemd (usually), a lot of the underlying architecture is pretty much the same everywhere.

A lot is very much not standardized. Booting, networking, desktop environments, what specific software is installed, the specific package manager in use, I could go on and on.

To learn the former, the book I recommend is the most accessible thing I've read. You don't need to read everything, but portions were very helpful. To learn the latter, your distro will have the info you need, or should at least tell you what to look up elsewhere.

How Linux Works might be what you're looking for

If you have the opportunity, vote-by-mail is genuinely awesome also. I qualify in my state because I'm chronically ill, and it's one of the few silver linings. I get a ballot in the mail every time an election happens like clockwork, I have time to do my research and it's significantly harder to forget.

Either OP is playing the really long game or they didn't actually make this. The image is from Wikipedia that was taken by some dude in 2015.

Maybe not 40km, but still, are you absolutely sure about that?

There was an implied /s there.

Unfortunately for you, you just lost the game.

Am I the only person that thinks if you, as a parent, are going to give your child a book you should probably at least look it up first, or maybe skim it real quick?

I'll admit I don't have kids, but the book was labeled and honestly the bit about it being a swooning romance on the cover would be enough for me to take a second look before I read it, much less give it to someone else.

In a dish (with syrup of some sort If possible) and a sugar or waffle cone on top or on the side of you don't plan to eat it all immediately. The best of all possible worlds IMO.
