While looking for efficient methods, I came across a helpful write-up of DedicatedCore that explains different ways to shorten or empty a file in Linux without deleting it altogether. If anyone else is dealing with … Re: What’s Best Way to Clear File Contents Without Deleting the File in Linux 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I'm confused. Since the log file is recreated automatically what is the problem with just deleting it? But if you want to shorten it you could always open it as write (but not append) and write a null string to it.

Re: Is linux your daily driver? 3 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I've tried loinux several times over the years on spare computers, virtual machines, and a Raspberry Pi. I gave up on all of them because it was too difficult to maintain. Now all I use it for is Live USB recovery tools. Re: Is linux your daily driver? 3 Weeks Ago by Salem I use it all day, every day. TBH, M$ stopped being an OS company after Windows 7 and the so-called OS just became a marketing tool to ram ever more crap in front of your face. Re: Is linux your daily driver? 3 Weeks Ago by Vince_6 I used Linux on and off for years. I was finally willing to commit to Windows 11 when it installed some updates and it went into a reboot loop afterwards. I said screw it and went back to Linux. Been using it for months as my primary OS and I am quite happy with the decision. Re: Is linux your daily driver? 2 Weeks Ago by Dani I started this thread thinking about James, DaniWeb's sysadmin, who I was surprised to hear uses Windows as his daily driver, despite his proficiency in Linux. I believe he quoted things like Linux not being ideal for gaming. I'm macOS only these days. Re: Is linux your daily driver? 2 Weeks Ago by Benjamin_17 The last time I used Windows was Windows XP when I got a blue screen of death trying to install it. Since then, I have been daily driving with Linux (Ubuntu then Pop! then back to Ubuntu) since then.

Honestly I would struggle… Re: Is linux your daily driver? 2 Weeks Ago by jkon I exclusively use Linux on my personal PCs, currently the Ubuntu distribution. I switched from Windows between 2010 and 2012. Before that, I used Linux on a different PC for several years, followed by a period of dual booting. Thanks to WINE, I have yet to encounter software I cannot run on my PC. I believe Ubuntu has become so user-friendly that … Re: Is linux your daily driver? 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim When I ran into problems with linux I found the online help was less than helpful. The help, when offered, consisted of experts explaining things to other experts, even though I mentioned that I was anything but. All help assumed I had much more knowledge than I did. The explanations sounded like Trek techno-babble. Re: Is linux your daily driver? 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim >Yes , that is still an issue... Many years back a neighbour was taking an evening course to become more computer literate.

Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Dani I agree that they *might* be AI generated, or at least have the help of AI.

Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim I have a problem with people who start posts about a topic with "let's discuss", but don't actually start the discussion.

The very premise of the site is that people ask questions. Quite often, uninformed questions. Sometimes those questions are just asking for your informed opinion as an expert in your field or as someone more informed than they are at the topic at hand. Other people … Re: Are we being played by AI? Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Reverend Jim And I disagree with that.

Let's Discuss! 2 Weeks Ago by Dani >I fail to see the distinction between asking for an opinion versus a suggestion versus any other form of help or assistance. I understand that you see a distinction when the OP is trying to start a discussion versus asking for advice or help.

I thought we didn't have "forums" anymore. 2. Perhaps the OP posted in the wrong place. 3. Regardless, it was clearly a discussion and not a question. It's moot since the thread has been deleted.
