I left Ubuntu for Arch because I got sick of Arch having everything I wanted and Ubuntu taking ages to finally get it. I was tired of compiling shit all the time just to keep up to date.
Honestly glad I made the change, too. Arch has been so much better all around. Less bloat and far fewer problems.
Because using your freedom to promote options that restrict freedom means helping to remove your freedom. But hey, what do the Linux elders know? Clearly the new people into Linux are far smarter…
Flatpaks, appimages, snaps, etc: why download dependencies once when you can download them every time and bloat your system? Also, heaving to list installed flatpaks and run them is dumb too, why aren’t they proper executables? “flatpak run com.thisIsDumb.fuckinEh” instead of just ./fuckinEh
No thanks. I’ll stick to repos and manually compiling software before I seek out a flatpak or the like.
This shit is why hobbies and things should be gatekept. Just look at how shit PC design is these days. Now they’re coming after the OS.
Yes, but in this case they are punching up - just not high enough.
I’ll never understand that logic… No, your father is horribly underpaid and instead of joining forces with the unions to get better working conditions and wages, we’re gonna shit on them so we have no leg left to stand on.
Brilliant
I remember when we used to laugh and ignore people with these default-generated Reddit usernames… What a stupid community they’ve become. If you can’t take the few seconds to create a username, you’re not there for anything more than spamming bullshit.
Why just Christian prayers? Why not prayer in general?
Use a generic “what do you think about prayer in public schools?” survey, and then where states vote YES create campaigns to make satanic and Muslim prayer programs at schools in the states that were all for prayer lol
Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird, too. Going as basic as explaining how to use ls and cat and how to run an executable, but not mentioning how to make an executable actually be executable.
I thought maybe it was just something wacky with my Termux install that made me have to chmod it all.
I also found it weird how the game didn’t manage HP and inventory for you. There must have been better ways for it to show you how to use session variables…
If that was true, then we wouldn’t see people bitching about the cold while I’m out in a t-shirt and jeans in 50°F weather. Seems fucking stupid to base a measurement system on something so subjective.
I found I had to chmod u+x the binaries, but they worked fine. You need to make sure you call them as ./filename (assuming you are in the same directory as the file)
IE:
chmod u+x treasure
./treasure
Forked it, renamed it, and changed nothing but the license on it.
What’s stopping it from becoming the defacto version putting the original into the point where it’s no longer worth maintaining, then Microsoft pulls it and sells it as a subscription service?
They fact they based it on Fedora in the first place seemed like a stupid choice, but I’ve been biased against Fedora for a long time lol.
IMO they should have based it off Arch or Ubuntu to align with the Steamdeck or SteamOS
I don’t have anything too fancy. I use [theFuck(https://github.com/nvbn/thefuck) to handle typos, and I have some variables set to common directories that I use.
For me it’s been the availability of packages, and how up-to-date things are. The AUR is a gamechanger.
Getting my first computer up wasn’t too bad - really no more time to configure it than anything else, and you can just toss your packages to a a text file and your dotfikes to GitHub. Didn’t take long at all to get my second computer set up
Makes sense. I went from Suse to Mepis, stuck with it for a bit after they transitioned to Ubuntu before just going full Ubuntu, but I was getting frustrated by how long it took for their repos to catch up. I’ve been on Arch for a year or two now and it’s been fantastic.
I ran Ubuntu for like 15 years and was especially recently getting frustrated by how far behind the packages always were. I’m full in on Arch - everything about it has been a much better experience.
What’s with all the Mint hype? I’ve never used it and have little desire to go back to a Ubuntu-based distro. Just curious why everyone loves it so much.
I’ve never understood the fedora hype. The fact that it is adjacent to Redhat should be enough for people to want to stay away lol.
Been playing it like nonstop for the last few days in Linux. It runs perfectly on Proton-GE with my RTX 3070
