Yocto doesn't run GUI applications, it's a framework to make your own distro. The fact that many users are too lazy to create a user to run their application as, speaks of the embedded space in general rather than Yocto in particu

Sounds like CTU FEE in Prague. I learned a bunch about registers, branch prediction and cache, but most of the assembly went out of my head once the class was over.

If there's a combination of options that I use for a command and catch myself forgetting it, I either make a script or an alias that I name appropriately. All the scripts are in the same folder, so I can look through them if I forget w
