  • What would you change about your favorite Linux distribution?

  • I haven't used any of the arch install scripts but they seem to have regular problems. Doing it the usual way is a proper way to roll your own but it doesn't give you options. You have to know what you want, or you have to know where to find out what exists.

    The guided installer is going to be important to a type of person we're going to see more and more of: power users that know what they want to do, but for whom the Linux ecosystem is a foreign and fractous entity what uses entirely unfamiliar nomenclature.

  • A lot of people will probably tell you that what you're asking for is an oxymoron. It's not, it sounds very cool, it just occupies a point on the spectrum that's likely to take a lot of work to keep in an arbitrary balance between rock solid and bleeding edge.

  • Just another old dude complaining that his interests and the internet spaces that discuss them has become more accessible in the last thirty years. This type of greybeard elitism got in my way when I was trying to learn and if I hadn't been self motivated to keep learning, that might have been the end of it. The biggest takeaway from this discussion is that Google is regressing in usefulness and that discord was always a bad place to store information.

  • This works for all sorts of things, especially automotive tools, but there's one exception that I live by.

    Don't cheap out on the things that come between you and the ground.

    Your shoes, your socks, your tires, your bed, the chair you spend twelve hours a day in. Those are worth some investment. It pays dividends.

  • Google decimates Twitter search results after Elon Musk imposes limits on reading tweets

  • My understanding is there's group of people whose visa is sponsored by Twitter. If they leave the company, they may well have to leave the country.

  • Does the idea of this concern anyone else? Why is no one talking about it?

    Jump

  • Because Windows is known to be malicious spyware, and you should consider not tolerating it any longer.

  • I don't actually use pacman for that
