It’s like Pacman -sY to install. Makes no sense.

If you read the man page for pacman, it helps. S stands for synchronise, Q for query (local), F is for find (remote), R is for remove. The following sub options (yu after -S) are specific to each main option.

Ok as an Indian allow me to interject. The reason people use linux is not because of poverty. Even the cheapest laptops come preloaded with activated windows.

We get introduced to Linux based OSs in schools. That plus people are heavily pushed into engineering and lately computer science and software engineering.

Thanks for acknowledging it.

Also another thing you are wrong about: You may be surprised to know that the second hand market for computer electronics is non-existent. As far as I know, there are only a handful of cities in the whole country where there is a second hand local market. Cheap electronics don’t last that much and in laptops there are only so many components you can buy separately and install. (Overwhelming majority of the computers are laptops, not the traditional CPU towers)

Also another thing I failed to mention is, the government tried to make a distro for govt use at one point but idk if anything came out of that. But I want to say there’s definitely a growing presence of linux here

I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

My understanding of the history of fashion is that back in the 1950s America it was expected that you wore a suit/dress at work unless you had a different uniform. There were a bunch of very boring people who thought that we should be wearing office job garb all the time, because they wore suits so much it was their default...

I don’t know when it was added, but you can mount ISOs directly now

With app images it’s easier than installing. Although the chmod step will deter the typical windows user

I will, as soon as the update processes in the background stop hogging my CPU

I mean, probably for the best. You think "Personal workstation’ when you hear Arch, not a public server
