It wasn’t my dumb idea.

I will as soon as the opportunity presents itself.

Wasn’t my choice. I was 10.

Ha! Yeah, I remember that phase. I was planning to install LXDE as my first distro, simply because I thought the wallpaper looked cool.

Since Old Reddit will be dead soon, have a look at kddit and Eddrit. They’re like Libreddit, but not blocked (yet). However, you should try to avoid using them, as they get ratelimited quite easily.

A-Levels are a British standardised exam, at the same level as the American SATs. However, they are much harder.

An enhancement subject is (AFAIK) a way of getting more UCAS points, which increases your chances of being accepted at some universities.

If I messed up, my representative should return the form in due course.

There are plenty of queer 17-year olds like me here, too!

UCAS is the organisation that deals with applications to higher education (e.g. university) in the United Kingdom.

EPQ stands for “Extended Project Qualification”, and is an A-Level enhancement subject. In this subject, you pick a topic in September and spend the next few months writing an essay on it.

I have multiple devices, but I just use my trusty KNOPPIX LiveCD to unlock the disk and move everything onto an external hard drive before either troubleshooting via chroot or just doing a clean install.

The Musl issues were a while ago. The other issues were experienced on the glibc version.

Void is a distribution I keep trying, but I believe I’ll be either sticking with the Arch family or switching to Gentoo, openSUSE, or NixOS.

If you’re after an online dictionary, I personally like Wiktionary.

Just the little things, really. App compatibility, xbps not having too many packages, issues with Musl, GRUB not loading on the LiveUSB, desktop/WM selection, and also I don’t like the way Runit works. I could make it work if I needed to, but overall it just seems like too much effort.

Despite its popularity, I’ve never had much luck with Void. However, I could try it again. 17th time’s the charm!

Yeah, either openSUSE or Gentoo will probably fix my issues good and proper.

That’s what I actually say. “Just use Linux” works better for the meme.

What?

I added it retrospectively. For some reason, my phone decided to save it as a HEIC, so I had a lot of trouble uploading it.

Tech support has been my status since I was 12. Honestly, I enjoy being able to explain stuff like this.
