I can only hope so. I should be able to fix any problems I might cause.
Oh Lob how I've forgotten the joys of getting a new Linux install functioning in a way you expect.

Yep: edit all the files. Just a matter of figuring out where Android Studio puts all its SDKs and NDKs and commands and whatnot.
@gee: depends on what you're doing and your distro. Very powerful once you get acclimated.
I'm using Mint 18 XFCE, which has rolling updates and various other modern tweaks. Mint offers a good bit of ease without stacking too much crap on top like Ubuntu.
I'm guessing it's much better than 2001, but I've only been using it intermittently since 2008 or so.
For the most part, yes. It's slightly better than it used to be though.

They weren't a punch card. They were a pouch. But they were small and tight enough i guess some low-techs might think they were a card. But once you ripped the top off, and poured the contents, sugar, and water into a pitcher, it was clearly a pouch of punch.
Hackers are just getting more and more clever
From Ars Technica (link at bottom):
The extension uses a bit.ly URL to reach its C&C, but the URL path is nowhere to be found in the extension code. In fact, it will obtain this path by using comments posted on a specific Instagram post. The one that was used in the analyzed sample was a comment about a photo posted to the Britney Spears official Instagram account.

The extension will look at each photo's comment and will compute a custom hash value. If the hash matches 183, it will then run this regular expression on the comment in order to obtain the path of the bit.ly URL:
(?:\\u200d(?:#|@)(\\w)
Looking at the photo's comments, there was only one for which the hash matches 183. This comment was posted on February 6, while the original photo was posted in early January. Taking the comment and running it through the regex, you get the following bit.ly URL:
htt*://bit.ly/2kdhuHX (direct link removed. That being said, don't go here)
Looking a bit more closely at the regular expression, we see it is looking for either @|# or the Unicode character \200d. This character is actually a non-printable character called 'Zero Width Joiner,' normally used to separate emojis. Pasting the actual comment or looking at its source, you can see that this character precedes each character that makes the path of the bit.ly URL:
smith2155#2hot make loveid to her, uupss #Hot #X
When resolving this shortened link, it leads to static.travelclothes.org/dolR_1ert.php, which was used in the past as a watering hole C&C by the Turla crew.
