Sigh

Some people are not native speakers

Some people are dyslexic or have other difficulties with writing that they can't help

Sometimes people just make mistakes, like you did two comments before this one where you wrote "its" instead of "it's"

You're not better and this isn't helpful or kind

It is very confusing. There's socially liberal, which is what Americans are usually referring to which is generally progressive, more freedoms for people etc.

The other liberal is Liberalism which is largely about being in favour of private property, private companies etc. and a free market, which tends to (but not always) correlate with being socially conservative.

Here in the UK, one of the big parties is the Liberal Democrats, which is a pro-Liberalism centre-right wing party, but because of the name a lot of people confuse them for progressives.

Sometimes though I am waiting to cross and then the last car in the train slows down, like noooo

I'll take my alphabet with a side of entropy, thanks

I especially hate when you're waiting to cross and people slow down to a stop and then wave you across, but there was no-one behind them.

You could have just carried on at the same speed and we'd both have got on with our day sooner.

Your example doesn't work for me but the one above is shown in superscript

Can see it from the Midlands!

Yeah just tried it again now.

I deleted the partition again first, then when I got to the installer, it had created a new 50GB partition and mounted /var/crash and /var/log which can't be unmounted (tried force unmount and all that jazz)

I recently tried this for the first time for my grandad on an old dying laptop of his which was struggling to run at any speed.

During the install it had already messed with the hard drive partitions in order to run the live environment, which is a big no-no for me.

The whole point of the live environment is it shouldn't change the system until you try to install!

It also meant I no longer had a free partition to install to anymore so I couldn't even get through the installer since I also couldn't resize etc. because the partition was in use.

Been using Debian/Ubuntu based Linux for about 20 years and never seen this issue until Pop! OS

To all those affected: "We're sorry"
