The one potentially funny thing about this post, is the likelihood of the many M$ fanboys that will be triggered by it.

@nixCraft

Check CPU has VM capabilities with Arch Linux

lscpu | grep -i Virtualization

VT-x for Intel
AMD-Vi for AMD

And for ensuring that your kernel includes KVM modules.

zgrep CONFIG_KVM /proc/config.gz

Will produce a list of KVM modules that are end punctuated by either `=y' or `=m'

y = Yes (always installed)
m = Loadable module

I guess I'll go with what RAH had to say regarding stupidity.

“Never underestimate the power of stupidity,” Robert A Heinlein once warned.

Just my humble opinion:

Can't blame The Universe for human idiocy.

Reminds me of a Robbie Burns quote (allegedly) about, "There goes a bow legged man." to which Burns replied saying, "No there goes a man with his balls in parentheses."

Absolutely mind blowing!

@nixCraft

I'll just leave this here again. 😀

And a Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Why isn't Mastodon one of the choices? Just asking...

I'd quite comfortably remove most of the ones you listed.

@nixCraft

So what was it?
"The manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi." or "A moment of sudden and great revelation or realisation."

Just a bit grammar Nazism, if the quoted words end with a full stop, then the full stop goes inside the quotation marks. If the quoted words do not end with a full stop, then the full stop goes outside the quotation marks. 😂 😂

@nixCraft

It was released 40 years ago, the original Macintosh on January 24, 1984 . So if anyone here answering the question was, say 10 years old when they first used it, they'd be in their fifties now. A bunch of old farts here, on Mastodon. By the looks of things anyway. 😉

@wonderofscience

Magnificent! Perfect projectile! (Almost alliteration? 😉 )

@wonderofscience

A short version of what you posted with audio.

Excellent post, thanks.

I've been using Arch for at least 17 years and it's never [sic] "crashed" on me. The only time it's ever broken was when I did something (most often against my better judgement, knowing full well that it was going to cause problems.) or that I neglected to do something! As for the others, I've only ever used Ubuntu for any real length of time, other distros, basically a cursory glance, not much more.
