    All Geek to me !!!!!!


    Hi folks

    just a message please people -- when posting stuff don't do it like this : (Was looking to install Fedora IOT as a Virtual Machine on Windows) -- this is the sort of "rubbish spiel" in the basic documentation -- no idea what it means --good classic example of how NOT to write descriptions -- especially if people aren't technically minded (at least in computers) in the first place. !!!!

    ............................................................... start of quote...............................
    Reliable operating system
    Fedora IoT uses OSTree technology to provide an immutable operating system with atomic updates. With the greenboot health check framework for systemd, administrators can ensure the system boots into the expected state.

    .............................................................................................. end of quote .................................................

    Anybody have a clue what this means in plain English other than an OS actually boots !!!! -- what a surprise !!!!!

    Cheers

    In the corporate world it is widely recognized that techno geeks can write good code ... but are often incapable of coherent speech or writing. So people with the appropriate skills are brought in to perform those necessary tasks.

    In the freeware world of Linux there's no money for those skilled people. There are only the techno geeks. So you're often stuck with poor documentation.

    As for your quoted text ... I think it's just rubbish. It's meant to sound good while actually saying nothing. Kind of like television commercials.

    So, you're right. It's a good example of how NOT to write descriptions.

    That thing where someone is using deplorable grammar to mock unclear language...

    Sorry. I didn't get any sleep last night. Cranky as hell. Crank leads to snark. I absolutely loved ALL GEEK TO ME though!
