He stated “100GB only” in reply to my comment that I have a 400GB picture library - all own creation, completely unrelated to anything internet.

See other comments from OP where he’s stating that it’d be 100GB total, and anything else would be confiscated if found out.

I disagree there - I think it makes the question pointless as that changes the actual question to “what is the single computing device I decide to keep, after downgrading its storage”. Which in many cases will not even be possible.

100GB is ridiculously low nowadays. I don’t think I have a single device in regular use (including my phone) with such small storage.

Just my picture archive (that is, pictures I took since I got mit first digital camera) is about 400GB.

That was a reason back then to pay for a distribution box - it came with a very good printed manual. Which had beginner friendly sections like “now that you have a running system let’s configure and build a kernel matching your hardware”.

It shows a message which wastes valuable screen estate, especially on low resolution terminals, containing a message I have to read every single time because the keys are not in muscle memory, and never will because the bindings are stupid.

On systems I have control over the reaction to nano popping up is exiting, removing it, making sure the package system blocks reinstallation attempts, and go back to what I was initially doing in a sane editor.

I always get annoyed when I’m on some system and nano pops up and I need to figure out how to kill that thing.
