They my go to to quickly triage a problem being caused by SEL or not.

Not quite. But sorta, yeah.

Learning to “not fuck with it” or ways to do so and rollback are valid lessons themselves.

Being able to segregate “production” and “development” environments is very valuable.

Theoretically one could also prohibit rebooting.

IIRC kexec is pivot_root but for the kernel.

They are introduced in NZ and have destroyed the native bird populations.

We trap and hunt them here.

I forget that possums aren’t pests in some parts of the world.

Doing the Dark Lord’s work!

Same as it takes on the ISS right now :-)

Well, mostly apples.

You put it inside a space station… Or out the earth side portal in an airlock.

Chell put it on the surface of the Moon.

Put the other portal in a geostationary space station: free access to orbit.

The single most (energy) expensive thing humans do is put things in orbit.

Whatever’s important to you.

There’s no meaning, no purpose.

… That you don’t provide yourself, and it could be anything.

I thought this was a request for Stack Overflow proof.

Then figured that was 'proof from pasting random crap from SO".

Then figured it’s the same thing.

Any distro will be suitable, create yourself as the first user when installing (which will probably be added to the wheel/sudoers group or whatever) then create a new ‘standard’ user.

Most distribution defaults should be adequate.

For added safety, choose one that is immutable like, for example, Fedora atomic.

The nouveau drivers are just barely enough to have a desktop, anything actually needing a GPU will perform very poorly (in my anecdotal experience with 4K). Or, to put it another way, choosing an NVIDIA card is choosing their proprietary drivers.

So you’re left with AMD (and Intel). The open amdgpu driver is pretty good and is suitable for gaming. Which I do.

I have no experience with Intel, but I believe their open drivers are pretty good.

So I recommend AMD.

Exactly the same in NZ too.

Such actions are typically indicative of having a micropenis. being a colossal jerk.

Please avoid using denigrating terms.

Well, hardly ever.
