Because having more ticked boxes than the competition sells. Doesn’t matter if it’s of any relevance.

Jeez, next time just use a knife my dude.
They made it free so they could sell courses and consultancy hours. Can’t do that if it’s all straightforward. It’s the death star of complexity.
So I downloaded slackware on dozens of disks.
This is no joke. When I downloaded Slackware in '95 or '96, it was over 100 3.5" floppies of 1.44 MB each. And there were still more available, those were just the ones I thought I’d need. And before you could even begin installing, each of those had to be downloaded, written and verified because floppies were not terribly reliable.
But more importantly, e-bikes are supposed to have a speed limiter set to 25km/h anyway.
And then a DBA comes in
I’m convinced that’s a mythical being. In my 20+ years of experience I’ve never encountered one.
Transferring /home directory without reinstalling Linux?
After running low on storage space on Windows 10 I have considered upgrading to a larger drive, 2-4 TiB. With my switch to Linux I’d like to know if there is an easy way to take all my files from my previous drive into the new one with all the correct paths configured, without reinstalling Linux?
I can see this meaning a number of different things:
you want to move your home directory to a separate partition: You can just create a new partition and move your stuff there. People have suggested rsync, and that’s fine. Personally, I’d use mc (midnight commander) for that because it’s easier.
you want to know how to transfer your future home partition to a future bigger drive: You could do as above, or you could use clonezilla for that.
you want to transfer files from your old Windows setup to your new Linux system: You can just mount an NTFS partition and do as described under point 1. I’d be wary to write to an NTFS partition, but reading from it works just fine.
Hmm, I’m fewer sure of that.
A reboot will make whatever processes that are still using those deleted files let go of them. Maybe that solves your problem. If not, ncdu will help you find large files and directories.
That’s correct. It’s not just limited to computers or only two devices though.
I disagree that it is bad design. It’s cheap and I also find it ugly, but it does get the job done just fine.
If you need any proof that pyramid schemes will never go away, just look at the number of downvotes.
And if you plan on trying different distributions, use Ventoy. It will create a bootable USB memory stick that you can copy your various ISO files to. When booting from it, you can then select which ISO to boot. Saves you from overwriting the same memory stick time and time again. Or having multiple memory sticks, one for each ISO.
Press ctrl+alt+esc. The cursor will change into a red skull and when you click a window, the process running it will be instakilled. Press esc again to cancel. That’s much better than going through task manager, finding the right process and then killing it.
I don’t want to link to them because fuck them, though the current top comment contains a link to that site.
The interesting thing is that you get this error message on /us while when you remove it, you get redirected to /global and there is no such message. They went out of their way to collect the data of US citizens while still complying with the GDPR for other users.

Use Ventoy for your iso images. It allows you to copy a number of images to your memory stick and when booting, you can select which iso to continue bootstrapping from. Want to try another distro? Just copy the iso to the drive and reboot.
Use vimtutor. It comes with vim and teaches you to the basic vim commands from within vim.
And don’t worry about exiting vim, that’s lesson 1.2 :)
My son’s Windows laptop did the same. Turns out there is a setting to make Windows truly shut down when selecting “shut down” from the menu, because normally it secretly sleeps or hibernates or something to have faster start-up times. There’s also the power another device via USB option that you may have to disable in BIOS / EFI settings.
