  • Toxic linux communities moment:

    Jump

  • It brings nothing new to the mix until you want something that's up to date or something that's not in the main repos and now you have to track down a PPA or manually install a deb file and keep it updated yourself instead of being able to use the package manager.

  • If that's the case it should be a much easier transition. I also came from Ubuntu originally.

    You will notice the difference right away. Everything is always up to date so you're not waiting half a year for updates and there's no big upgrade transitions between major versions. And pacman is a lot faster than apt in general.

    Plus with the AUR you'll never touch another PPA again. Almost anything you could possibly want is in there, even some of the most obscure/specific things.

    I do recommend doing everything from scratch if you have the time, but if not EndeavourOS is literally just preconfigured Arch (and I do mean literally, it uses the same repos) so that's also a solid option.

  • Same story for me on a OnePlus 5T which is the even older Snapdragon 835. Firefox is genuinely unusable. I tried Mull and Iceraven too. For several months I tried to put up with it, but they were all a slow and buggy mess. Switched to Brave and it works fine.

    I use Librewolf on my desktop for the record.

  • As a capable but lazy user, how much would switching to Arch frustrate me?

  • but after fresh install

    See, there's your problem. If you never re-install this is longer a factor. Sure I had to do those things, but I had to do them exactly once like 8 years ago...

  • It is genuinely amazing, there's a reason us Arch users never shut up about it. The setup/configuration in the beginning will seem daunting but once you have everything the way you want it is a smooth and enjoyable experience.

  • New ASUS router firmware now requires a user to be 16y or older and will restrict features and even security upgrades if you opt out

    Jump

  • There is also FreshTomato if your router has Broadcom wifi chipset like mine does.

  • Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?

    Jump

  • That's my experience as well. Now I use a SearXNG instance with Google as the only source and it works well I'd say roughly 97% of the time.

  • I definitely got stuck on their levels in Megaman as a kid.

  • Yeah it can certainly cause problems, it's just not ADHD.

    ADHD doesn't even really mean short attention spans, it's more of the inability to willingly direct attention. It's the same way people incorrectly use "OCD" to mean liking things clean and/or orderly.

    I have ADHD and I've had times where I've done the same thing for 14 hours straight (even forgetting to eat) when my brain decides it wants to latch onto that thing. You just need to be sufficiently stimulated, hence why stimulants can work as a treatment.

  • Independent auditors confirm top VPN doesn't log your data

    Jump

  • Exactly. If all you want to do is torrent then it's by far the best option. $2.22/mo ($80 for 3 years) which is less than half the price of anything else, has portforwarding, and with wireguard I can saturate a full gigabit no problem on private trackers.

  • Proton Pass open source password manager is now available on F-Droid

    Jump

  • I did not realize that. That explains why it's not on F-Droid. Really unfortunate but at least it can still be publicly audited.

  • The version on the Play Store requires a "premium" subscription for some features but the Github release gets those for free.

  • Try Keyguard, it is open source and much nicer than the regular Bitwarden app. Do not use the version from the Play Store though, get it directly from Github.

  • Piracy was NEVER stealing

    Jump

  • So following your argument further, if we all did this no one would produce anything because they'd never get paid.

    You are literally saying this on Lemmy. A piece of software that is developed for free using other software/tools that are free, and run on servers that are hosted by others for free. Most open source projects work this way. People are fully capable of doing things because they want to. Not everything needs to be profit-driven.

    If we all did this, what would happen is there would be way less slop and lazy cash-grabs. Because the only people left making things would be the ones who are actually passionate and believe in what they do.

  • 75% is a C which is average for school grades, and a 7/10 is widely considered an average score for things like movies. 70-75F being the average room temp is pretty intuitive when used alongside other common scales.
