UnfortunateShort,

Besides the points made - using their own repos. It kind of defeats an important point of using Arch, if you don’t use the official repos as your main source of packages imo.

It’s a rolling release. You have to let it roll. Arch already has testing repos, there is zero need to test outside of them.

I'm so frustrated rn.

I have been distro hopping for about 2 weeks now, there’s always something that doesn’t work. I thought I would stick with Debian and now I haven’t been able to make my printer work in it, I think I tried in another distro and it just worked out of the box, but there’s always something that’s broken in every distro....

Care to explain how you come to your harsh judgment of Debian? I’m not a fan of using it as a desktop OS either, but every other day you hear people talking about Debian having newer packages than Arch on occasion. If anything, Debian, Arch, Fedora and derivatives should give you the most recent packages.

UnfortunateShort,

Funnily enough, Fedora is the only distro I’ve ever had and still have the infamous Linux sound driver problems with

UnfortunateShort,

There are many reasons why their market share is so high:

  • They were there before Linux
  • They had a GUI before Linux even existed iirc (let alone before Linux’s were any good)
  • They were focused on desktop + consumer market from the start
  • They are for-profit and have a marketing budget
  • They have the Office products many depend on (be it justified or not)
  • For a long time, gaming was basically impossible on Linux
UnfortunateShort,

It’s a matter of perspective. If the game is Tic-Tac-Toe and the system a basic RISC SOC with open firmware this might be a fun project :P

UnfortunateShort,

Don’t give up. It can take months until your beard has really grown in.

UnfortunateShort,

TBF, KDE Connect is pretty convenient for this and other stuff

UnfortunateShort,

I think you got that twisted

UnfortunateShort,

If only most wet wipes weren’t non-flushable (even if they say they are, many are in fact not) and terrible for the environment. Still have to find a good brand.

UnfortunateShort,

Or the totally non-queer, average c/unixsocks enjoyer

UnfortunateShort,

Of course not, it’s just a running gag that everyone is in denial about boys posting in that community (or formerly the subreddit)

UnfortunateShort,

Because it also sends the kill signal in every terminal I’ve witnessed yet… And you have it right on screen the second you start Nano.

UnfortunateShort,

Actually, you are right. I will stand by my point that Nano tells you what to press, but I wonder where I got the stuff about Ctrl+X… I am very positive that I have used it at some point (outside of Nano), but maybe my brain is playing tricks on me 🤔

The documentary host went on:

After hearing about their “totally riced” setup for hours, the exhausted predator dies a painless death in the icy waters. A mercy the breedable Rust peers of the Arch user, drunk on their freshly claimed victory, will not share. Already displaying socks as part of their mating ritual, no baby-faced creature that knows its way around a terminal is safe. They are not taken by force however. Rather they freeze, smitten by the confidence the incredibly annoying apex predator radiates. Feeling used, but also strangely satisfied, the confused boy is left wondering why they aren’t using Arch, when Wiki and the AUR are so incredibly useful. Maybe it’s that symbiosis that keeps them together: Curiosity, Fear and the common Arch user’s incredible displays of power.

UnfortunateShort,

Lucky you, I’m into that shit

UnfortunateShort,

What does tell you a lot about WW2 are late night TV documentaries on N24 tho (I think they were bought and rebranded?)

UnfortunateShort,

Depends a lot on who you ask… In both cases…

UnfortunateShort,

It doesn’t really matter that much imo. Virtualization is done by kvm or xen, both distro independent. Qemu, libvirt and anything else you might need will only differ version, which may or may not matter to you (probably not). Maybe you can gain some performance by building from source, whereas something like Gentoo might come out ahead… Then again, you can build from source on any distro so…

UnfortunateShort, (edited )

Whatever you do, pick one that ships with Linux or is at least explicitly marked as compatible.

You do not want the headache of having a laptop with this one component that genuinely doesn’t work properly. Most will work, but for example fingerprint scanners are a very touchy subject. My freakin battery is not properly recognized by anything that isn’t Windows. It’s stupid, some just don’t care about existing, well defined, open standards.

Personally I’d go with a Framework laptop. Otherwise Tuxedo or System76 might have something you like.

UnfortunateShort,

2nd attempt, but I got there

UnfortunateShort,

I’m totally stealing that. Thank you :D

UnfortunateShort,

Town of Salem is great, but at some point you realise screaming the loudest often wins lol

UnfortunateShort,

You should ask yourself the following question: If I dare to open it outside of the Tor Browser, is it even worth my time?

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

UnfortunateShort,

I can respect GNOME, it’s just not for me. There are a lot of other DE’s I really don’t get, for example: Xfce, Mate, Budgie, LXQt, any pure WM desktop in existence, the list goes on… But if people still develop them, I guess there is a market.

UnfortunateShort,
