No worries. We can't keep up with ALL the things! You're quite welcome

Yes you can boot to a live usb. If you're not set on a particular distro, you can launch quite a few here:

Learned something new. Had never heard of wolfi, chiseled, or flatcar. Obviously have played with alpine. I know what I'm playing with tomorrow!

I had the same curiosity recently

Just different variations of Linux. Linux is technically just the kernel. Different distros have different package managers (think app store). At a high level most work pretty similar with varying nuances. I'd probably pick something user friendly. Bazzite is immutable, and mint is great also

Distro examples would be Mint, Fedora, cachyOS, Arch, Debian, Ubuntu etc. You might just spin up some VMs on this site and try to get a feel for what you're looking for.

Depending on what distro you choose, it's not too bad to install from scratch. There's plenty of documentation out there and YouTube videos

Amazon has some used thinkpads too. Not sure how much storage you need, but there's options.

Look at Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, and ebay. Keep looking and you'll eventually come across a good deal. Especially with win10 hitting EOL

Ok, sorry to hear that. It's an option many people overlook, so thought I'd throw it out there

Yeah, the department that takes care of PCs. Can go by many names, but desktop department should be generic enough to serve as a "catch all" for the various names. Storage is getting cheaper, so you can either get a device with a large HDD, upgrade it, or add external storage performance depending

Good is quite subjective. What will you be using this for? And if you work somewhere large enough with a desktop department, ask if they have anything EOL or not windows 11 compliant that you can have for free. Most places have a 3 year hardware life cycle.

Do I need this? Absolutely not. Am I going to buy it? Also no, but man do I want it lol. If I still had pre-kids disposable income i'd be buying this lol.

This is also my best recommendation ^^

Hell yeah!

Maybe try the recursive flag?

chown [[-R|--recursive]] [user] [path/to/directory]

I really hope so! But this is hopefully the catalyst!!!

Glad you finally asked

What distro? And what's the chown command you're running?

I'd be surprised if it wasn't. And uptime of 5+ years with no kernel patches

Should have been 1st question

And now steam cube is generating quite a buzz...

If I'm actually doing something from a live USB, i tend to use Knoppix which is Debian based. Really optimized to run live.

Pretty sure you're aware, but a lot of new Linux people as of late. So this is for them. But he wrote Git developing the Linux kernel. Not to be confused with the M$ owned Github, but actually git.

Yeah. I was thinking about a 9. But they're still somewhat costly.

I bought an old 6a to demo grapheneOS. Going to flash it back and give it to my daughter. Going to get a 7 or 8 for me to switch to.
