You also claimed that someone else Jim(?) was not telling the truth
when his manjaro system was trashed during a routine update.
After further investigation you finally admitted it was a known bug.

I wonder if you are so blinded with defending Linux that you don't
realize how fucked up it really is.

Jim is not me and it doesn't matter what he installed in because your
accusation of him lying was baseless.

So here comes the elitist Linux attitude that only stupid people use a
version of Linux that works.
Good for you if you like fixing some crap distribution that is broken
out of the box.
Most people expect an operating system to work.
Evidently you are different.

BTW, I have a lot of company regarding LinuxMint:

https://distrowatch.com/

Again, Manjaro is complete crap.
Prove otherwise, or go away and play with your kernel.

Doesn't matter.. Neither of them are me.
I notice you snipped all the content of my last post.
That's a clear sign that you realize I am correct.

Fact: you accused "someone" of fabricating a situation where a Manjaro
upgrade rendered a working system useless.

Fact: You made claims regarding how Octopi upgraded a system, the
specifics, and you were proven completely wrong.

Fact: after you finally did some research you had to swallow your
pride and admit you were wrong.

Conclusion: You have no idea what you are talking about so anything
you say about Linux, Windows or anything else should be assumed to be
incorrect until proven otherwise.

Wild guess:

Are you really a Peter Kohlmann nym?
You seem to be wrong at about the same rate he is. That would be about
100 percent of the time.

I'm glad you agree.
Seriously though, neither are me.
If they were, at this point, I would admit it.
Especially since both of them ran circles around the Linux advocates.
So why not take credit for a job well done?

I do think I know who at least one of them is though. The giveaway is
it has to be another musician.

How the hell can you keep track of all of Flounder's "identities"? :-D

I've been using Debian Sid (the "unstable" version) for a long time now,
and it is anything but "fucked up".  I prefer it to more "stable" Linuxen
such as CentOS.

Nope.

On true multiuser systems (I mean those that actually have a number of real
users) some users might not have a $HOME on the main system.

In any case, only a Dolt-Fer-Sure would whine about an "unobvious"
configration option.  Yawn.

Idiot.

useradd updates /etc/passwd to say the new user has a $HOME folder, even 
if one isn't created.

For whatever reason, I've always expected consistency and correctness 
from the Linux command line.  I was wrong.

You don't have to use -m.  If /etc/login.defs contains 'CREATE_HOME 
yes', -m isn't necessary.


1) after creating a new user via useradd I can't logout then login as
    the new user, even if the new user has a $HOME.  It just goes
    into an endless login cycle.

2) useradd updates /etc/passwd to say the user has a home folder, even
    if it's not there.

If DFS is expecting Manjaro to work he is just a little bit naive.
The same can be said of most Linux distributions though.

What's the point of adding a user account and no existing home directory 
for that added user?
It seems to be un-UNIX or a deviation therein.
