Sounds like the perfect reason to have different words. Who would want to type that out every time? I’m sure someone could spend several paragraphs describing the difference between fur and hair, or stucco vs plaster.

If you don’t care about the difference between two words, then those words probably weren’t invented for you. Someone else who works with that nuance on a daily basis probably really likes that they can sum things up briefly.

I’m not going to say “Don’t learn gentoo next” but if you’re already well versed in Nix or setting up a base arch install, I feel like the only thing Gentoo will teach is “How long does it really take to compile Firefox from source?”

Breakfast: Coffee and toast

Lunch: Toasted sandwich or reheated dinner leftovers

Dinner: Something home-cooked

As someone who usually prefers a hot meal over a cold one, that’s my standard fare. It’s not a crazy effort.
