"You know, I'm something of a sudo-scientist myself."

It's a bistro with a 'd'. :-p

It's only nonsense it you don't know anything.

Linux = engine, fork = frame, distro = body + add-ons. Not everyone wants navigation out of the factory, and not everyone wants a Ford.

A "distro" is like a cafe only it's not very friendly at all.

You're thinking of a bistro. A distro is where people dance.

You're thinking of a disco. A distro is a distinguished musician or conductor, typically of classical music
VeryStableGenius
Not to be confused with a Nikto, which sometimes requires a Barada, performed by Gort on Klaatu.

You’re thinking of a maestro. Distro is He-mans friend who fisted hard but could not fist them all.

Oh god - I've been trying all afternoon to install OpenMediaVault on a RaspPi - fuck me Linux is ghastly. It seems to be intentional, too.

As the old saying goes: “Linux is friendly, but picky about its friends”
kraquepype
There is a learning curve, and some projects are documented better than others. I've used it for 25 years and still get tripped up sometimes

One guide says it'll work with a GUI front end on the OS. Install such a thing - OMV bombs out saying "command line only".
Clockworkdancerobot
That's all on the distro provider. Raspberry Pi usually is for development. Linux is like any tool. Each has a purpose.
skipweasel
But OMV bills itself as simple enough for newbies...
Clockworkdancerobot
I should try it on one of mine then. where were you getting hung up?
MstrES
The tree outside

Stupid stuff like you tell the utility that makes the installation media to set it to a UK keyboard layout...but it doesn't. So you can't...
skipweasel
...run half the commands you need 'cos you can't find the keys with - and / on. Then the damned thing says it's OK with an NTFS ext-drive...
