I give you an A. A for floppy.

What about the B drive?

@kautau@lemmy.world · edit-2 2 years ago

Lol the best part about that is, it spawned from floppy disks. It hasn’t changed. And there’s no official docs on why. Instead search results are literally StackOverflow and forum questions on why it’s not a thing.

Even better, the cable twist to differentiate on the hardware level.

No, CD-ROM is /dev/sr0

@RojoSanIchiban@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

Bah! This is clearly a windows meme! Take it back to c/linux!

(I’m over there too)

@bfg9k@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

No, CD-ROM is /cdrom

u/lukmly013 💾 (lemmy.sdf.org) · 2 years ago

You probably meant /dev/cdrom which as far as I know is just a link to CD-ROM drive. In case of SATA and SCSI drives it links to /dev/sr(number) and in case of IDE drive to /dev/hd(letter).

When I started using Linux in 2004, /cdrom was the mount point for CD/DVD drives on Debian.

@original_ish_name@lemm.ee · 2 years ago

Debian is weird

@danielton@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

Yeah, but I have nothing against Debian. At the time, my family was on dialup, so being able to order the entire apt repo on 7 CDs was very handy. Back then, the default kernel didn’t include sound drivers… fun times!

I recently returned to Debian (unstable) on my Linux laptop and it’s been nice.

Nothing like the beauty of windows having a modern UI with a hard drive icon drawn by some intern in 1998

@reversebananimals@lemmy.world · 2 years ago

If it makes you feel any better the intern got hired full-time.

@moody@lemmings.world · 2 years ago

And laid off 6 months later
