UnfortunateShort,

By now, Arch and Rust fans have probably corrected this 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

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 🤔

UnfortunateShort,

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

UnfortunateShort,

Because they don’t push updates as quickly, which reduces the chances of something slipping through, be it their merit or not. This comes at the expense that it sometimes breaks dependencies and still has close to zero real benefits:

  1. You are better off simply using snapshots. Then you don’t depend on the testing of either party.
  2. Even if the Manjaro devs do to find bugs, they could have found them in Arch Testing as well, which benefits everyone.

I stand by my point that the update strategy is not a feature.

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....

UnfortunateShort, (edited )

There is not a single distro where everything works out of the box. I would be very surprised if even Windows or MacOS work exactly like you expect, the second you boot into them the first time.

I like Arch / EndeavourOS, but you will definitely need quiet some configuration for them. If you want more user-friendly or more up-to-date Debian, try Sparky Linux. It’s honestly quite good. Instead of Ubuntu you might want to give Mint a try. Many fancy it as a more open and less corpo alternative.

Ubuntu itself is alright, but it’s being criticised for pushing anti-consumer moves lately (i.e. forcing Snaps and telemetry onto them). Also, updates on Ubuntu are extremely slow in my experience. Maybe that has changed, but in some areas I doubt it.

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,

It might be mildly annoying, I give you that, but throwing a tantrum about people enjoying the same stuff as you but “not enough” or “the wrong way” is super immature and petty.

It’s exactly this mindset that started the bullshit wars regarding cultural appropriation.

UnfortunateShort,

There was so much drama in WoW when I still played. Ranged from entertaining to toxic bs

UnfortunateShort,

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

UnfortunateShort,

I don’t open up because I don’t want to scar other people with the contents of my head. We are not the same.

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,

Shotcut is great, especially because ffmpeg, GPU acceleration and very easy to learn workflows (although admittedly not so intuitive that you get them right away).

I don’t know about Kdenlive, but I tried Openshot and found it to be much slower and lacking functionality, although it’s even easier to use for the basics.

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, (edited )

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,

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,

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

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,

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
