What are the main criticisms of Linux in desktop platforms? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] floppingfish@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I'm using Linux Mint for my daily driver for about 5 years. It works great with no ads!! I'm not a gamer and Libre Office works well for me so no significant problems with software. I also do some basic python programming on it. The more complex command line stuff takes a while to figure out but Mint has been great!

put a bead of clear silicone around the top and side seals of the light (where the light sections come together, not where the light seals to the car)

Read Only File System (lemmy.world)
 

Will my OS break if I make it the system Read Only? I am installing a raspberry pi 4 (Raspberry Pi OS (64-bit)) in my car and read on Lemmy that if I make the system files Read Only my system won't get corrupt when power is abruptly turned off. I will leave the 'home' directory read-write. I realize I will have to remove the drive and run updates regularly.

Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how a noobie could learn to use this to generate python code?
