Just checked and they do have it, I think this is the section they need if they want to go that route

wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Custom_grub.cfg

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in It happens 🤷

The old GRUB was easy, just a text file… I think I’ve done it once in the new one but it’s way too long since then

I bet either the Gentoo or Arch (or probably both) wiki has enough details on how to manage GRUB to do that

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in It happens 🤷

You use your mouse for GRUB?

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in This truly is the year of the linux desktop

That is what we like to call a “gateway drug”, first they try out an Android, then “just a taste” of Steam Deck, and next thing you know they’re installing arch btw on their grandparents’ computers

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in Linus does not fuck around

The good news is Linus did eventually learn this isn’t okay and took some time off to reflect on how to approach these things better.

He still doesn’t tolerate things like he was responding to here, still responds to them firmly and directly, but doesn’t rant, yell, or hurtle insults

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in Linus does not fuck around

For the first part, no clue, but for the second, absolutely

Just because you work for someone else doesn’t give them the right to treat you badly and that sort of behavior can and should be reported to a person’s employer.

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in Linus does not fuck around

That’s very “ends justify the means” of you. No, that’s not the question here. Linus could have gotten the same results without the yelling and insults. You do not need either of those to be direct, assertive, and clear on what the issue is, something that Linus has since learned

“You’re not wrong, [Linus], you’re just [being] an asshole”

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in Linus does not fuck around

Yeah, that’s a hard pass on passive aggressiveness, constructive criticism isn’t either of those things nor rude and angry ranting. Love Linus, but he really did need to chill out a bit more with these things. He could have gotten the same point across without coming across as yelling at the guy, just firmly pointing out that it was caused by the patch, the patch did things it shouldn’t ever do, and don’t break userspace or blame userspace programs

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in the main differences!!

Yeah, Gnome is VERY different than in 2008

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in the main differences!!

There’s a lot to be said for familiarity and its impact on productivity… Which is why I hate when UI layouts change for no apparent reason other than to be different.

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in the main differences!!

Eh, my main reason for going KDE is every time I try Gnome, it feels like “what do I do now” and “where is the program I opened”

I know that would get better with time spent using it, but then again, KDE feels like I can make it do what I want a lot easier

And none of the other DEs look as nice and polished, which, I know, that’s not the important part … But dammit, I’m gonna be spending a lot of time staring at it, I’d like it to look good to me at least

laurelraven, to linuxmemes in Yeah, very sorry that this app is Windows only, would love to switch to Mac

Missing the third hand for Windows users
