I don’t get why someone would use Manjaro after so many fuckups… If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re either too new to Linux or don’t care. Just look for “manjaro certificates” or “manjaro drama” and you’ll find out for yourself.

Yeah… Attention span 5s, welcome to privacy.

Install Windows into VMware player, then install this into it.

Why? We have native VM capabilities in the kernel and VirtualManager is very simple to understand and use.

other platforms already have applications that can do this without breaking a sweat

Then go with those applications and that’s it. In the same vein, you can say that Kodi needs an organized library, so organize it and Kodi won’t break a sweat. That’s what a lot of people are telling you in this thread.

Oh, man! This happened to me in production, working on a server that did the invoicing for a large company. Mind you, I was assisted by a senior amin who assured me killall works on hpux. It worked “better” than expected.

Calibre is Python 100%. What gave you the idea it was Java?

Also, terminal-only

This is really good… Just yesterday I had a colleague trying to present something like this in our company and she failed miserably. I’ll send her the link to your guide, maybe she’ll learn a thing or two.

so I had to learn how to copy in the background, then write a script to check and display the progress every few seconds

I hope you learned about terminal multiplexers in the meantime… They make your life much easier in cases like this.

I want to have ads blocked with pihole and at the same time to have local DNS served by the router. I know pihole does local DNS, but RouterOS (mikrotik) is much better suited for that.
