    My experience with Linux is following a guide and sudo apt-get update failing. Like step goddamn 2.

    Also some fucking around with machines at work trying to mount flash drives and the guide they gave us saying use sda1 but actually it’s sdb0 that works or some such bullshit.

    Oh and having to root chmod everything to even be able to touch it with SCP.

      Sda1 is always juat an example. if you already have sda hard drive then your flash drive becomes sdb, etc. But on some syatems it could even read hd0 1.2.etc But why isn’t your DE just automounting the media?

        The main purpose is to run some proprietary bullshit so the Linux installs are pretty minimal. They gave us step by step guides to do things but it always ends up with me and Google.

          Just struggled with this a few minutes ago actually. New instructions say mount /dev/sdb1/ /mnt should work.

          System yells at me for not specifying filetype. Google says -t auto should work. Also doesn’t. Tried typing in every filetype and nothing worked.

            Thats ome problem with “Linux”, there are many, and they can be slightly different base or not have certain packages installed
