I’m not an anti-car person. I also understand that we live in the world we are presented with, and there is a significant systemic oil culture that is difficult and expensive to not consume. I just thought this photo was a little ironic.

You wouldn’t happen to be taking a picture of a screen from a gasoline-powered car, are you?

You’d be surprised how little math is involved in programming that doesn’t require it. A significant majority of programming is simply managing conditionals. For example: “when the door opens, turn on the light.”
Math comes into place when you need it, and hardly ever comes as a surprise. Additionally, solved problems are generally kept in libraries. For example, you don’t need to calculate a sum; simply tell it to calculate a sum for you, because this is a solved problem.
What you’re already running into is called “impostor’s syndrome.” You believe that you are not capable of something to some degree, even though reality says otherwise. You haven’t tried your hand at programming, so why worry now? You’re inventing problems for yourself before you even got a chance to start.
Just go for it and see what you think. If you don’t enjoy it, no biggie. If you do enjoy it, keep going. No obligations 👌
I’m giving them a little empathy because they are frustrated; that’s all. We’ve all been there.
Yeha, but you can ask for help without taking a shit on the effort of thousands of engineers.
I doubt OP thought, ‘I’m going to take a shit on thousands of engineers.’ It’s okay to not know what to do, including asking for help. If they don’t know what to do with “error 2,” they’re obviously lost. This unwelcoming attitude to newcomers is a big problem, and in my opinion, it’s probably best not to contribute to it.
You can rephrase what you’re saying and provide better help to someone who’s completely lost in a much more polite and informative way. It’s better for everyone.
Also, try searching web before crying on social media. If you can’t solve your problems by searching the web then GNU/Linux probably isn’t for you.
Sheesh, let them be frustrated already. Besides, asking for help is totally valid.

Oh interesting! I suppose I have just been very careful with /etc/fstab and I haven’t seen systemd fail this way. TIL! Thanks for letting me know!
That’s just systemd failing to start Switch Root. Have you tried the systemctl status suggestion in the error, or reading the text file it generates?
systemd daemons are configured via /etc/systemd, and systemd itself lives in /usr/lib/systemd/systemd. How can systemd run or start the configured services without the root disk mounted? The initrd (from the boot partition) only contains enough of an environment to call the entrypoint for the init system, not contain the entirety of systemd (or the configured services).
The root filesystem mounted fine. That’s why the init is starting with all the services on the root disk.
That’s not a kernel panic
Nice to see Firefox in the wild 🙃

I believe that excellent communication can be had without engineers swearing at each other, and I don’t think there are is any good rationale that warrants such behavior. You believe that there is a time and purpose for the style of conversation that Linus portrayed, and it is warranted and effective behavior.
I’m going to agree to disagree from here. Thanks for the conversation.
Please defend these statements for me. I’m having a hard time understanding how this is language we should strive for in a code review, even with your explanation.
Additionally, if you can give me any pointers on how I can communicate this way, I’m all ears and would appreciate the help.
That’s mean 😐
