Yah if it was simple as that in Linux. When the page says do chown 775 xyz , the Linux throes error as can’t modify, then I go down rabbit hole…honestly it’s far from simple
To be able to use chown (Change Owner) you need to have the powers to do so.
Your default user does not have such powers when the target is not yet owned by that user. Perhaps you did not use sudo, like sudo chown 775 xyz So I guess the documentation of that software installation howto is lacking specifics for Ubuntu (Ubuntu uses sudo, but e.g. Debian does not do so and defaults to su).
OpenSUSE was actually released long before Arch even existed.
You're basically right but just some historic facts added :
Judd Vinet started the Arch Linux project in March 2002. OpenSUSE : Its development was opened up to the community in 2005, which marked the creation of openSUSE. Before that it was called SUSE Linux, first released in 1994.
Bold :-) openSUSE is based on zypper and rpm. Arch Linux uses its own package system.
p.s. Please replace that Change my mind guy with a Calvin and Hobbes one.
Dunno. Anecdotal, a few years ago pacman appeared to be much faster than apt-get for me. Currently I don't see that very much difference but then again I haven't paid much attention to it.
Looking forward to see someone creating a TempleOS fork with a Linux Libre kernel in their spare time.
