A major misconception about Linux exists.
A major misconception about Linux exists.
Hello everyone, one thing is bothering me a lot, people say that Linux is so great and that you just need to type a command in the terminal and the programs install. For example let's take someone who uses DaVinci Resolve on Windows want's to use it on ArchLinux. You type "sudo pacman -S davinci-resolve" it will show "target not found" so this is already a lie that it's enough to type one command. Then we move on, we find out that we need to download the source code from AUR. We download it and then the user needs to know what compiling is. Lets say he knows what to do and he types "makepkg". Could not resolve all dependencies, now you need to type out each package and install it normally with pacman because for some reason it's unable to do it itself. So after installing few packages you come across a ting called lib32-libpng12. You find out that you need to enable multilib and then you try to install lib32-libpng12, not found. You find out that you need to update all mirrors after enabling multilib and then you try again, not found. Then you start installing each random package from google that includes the keyword lib32-libpng12 because you're mad asf. After you calm down a little, you do the same for lib32-libpng12, you download the source code, you run makepkg on it, then it throws a error (why shouldn't it) "couldnt resolve all dependencies". You google wtf lib32-zlib is and you realize it has no source code to download and multilib seems to not be working (because it fails on any multilib package). So now you wait for your new CPU to arrive, to upgrade your 2nd PC (because you sold the old CPU) and will use DaVinci Resolve on Windows while keeping ArchLinux on your mini TV PC for lols and programming websites because SSH is ez chill mode on Linux. I guess Linux will never be a good replacement for a normal user like your parents. I like ArchLinux but I think about getting Ubuntu maybe the life is easier there without the f n 32bit libs that should be dead by now and I don't understand why devs use 32bit libs same as jQuery.
You might want to begin with Linux since you could have a dual-boot setup with Linux and Windows 7. I’m pretty sure that version of Windows 7 isn’t officially supported. My first experience with Linux was using Slax, but installing a browser was really tricky.
Don't get me wrong, Linux is an amazing peace of software. I run VPS servers with CentOS 8 and I've setup Nginx, SEL and so on. It works freaking great as a server OS but when it comes to daily things... it's actually bad if you want to do some content creation or use UNITY or UnrealEngine or anything else except the "what your mom would use" programs. I wouldn't even dual boot it, just buy a old RaspberryPi for like 20 bucks and install it there and use it on your TV.
Raspberry Pi smart TV offers advantages over basic TV boxes or standard smart TVs due to privacy benefits and the ability to run the Raspberry Pi as a desktop. Connecting it to a wireless keyboard ensures smooth performance for fast typing on platforms like YouTube. Linux remains the only viable option on the Raspberry Pi because of its ARM architecture, making it a superior choice compared to outdated systems like Shoddows 10 with excessive bloat and frequent updates. The penguin OS is also a notable alternative.
You might choose to set up Pamac directly and leverage its interface to import Resolve along with all related components, having it assembled for you.
Based on what I've seen from developers, those who criticize jQuery while championing AngularJS, ReactJS, or similar frameworks often miss the basics of coding. RIP CentOS, welcome to Rocky Linux!
This appears to relate to Arch Linux rather than a general Linux issue. The way PKGBUILDS functions in this context differs from typical distributions, highlighting the unique aspects of Arch Linux. Distros like Ubuntu were created to simplify these differences.
I don't recommend any framework, the only worthwhile ones are ExpressJS and Gsap. There aren't any other good libraries or frameworks that are truly useful and would require much more effort than using them natively. I also discovered my issue by uncommenting Include, which resolved it. After checking the configuration, I noticed [core] was also uncommented. So I uncommented [multilib], then a popup appeared asking me to run `pacman -Sy`. Finally, I had to install `lib32-libpng12` manually and after that `makepkg` succeeded.
Following the Arch Wiki installation steps toward General Recommendations would have highlighted the need to enable multilib for 32-bit packages.
