I always end up coming back to arch specifically because it’s easy to maintain and mostly just works. There’s so little to break and when something breaks it’s always easy to fix

Interesting, I’m not sure I fully believe what either side is saying but it does sound believable that what’s going on is being exaggerated.

Are the uyghurs secretly huge capitalists or something? I’m capable of disliking both US genocides and Chinese genocides at the same time

I mean I think anything you do that makes enough money to be worth it is just a job at that point right? Like you could start streaming on twitch or something, but once you start making money from it, it becomes a job.

bro’s jealous of people actually being attractive instead of annoying jerks

just let people be they aren’t hurting you or anyone else.

I mean I suppose it’s no different than subscribing to the patreon of a youtuber you like to get extra videos? I don’t do it but I feel like supporting a content creator you like is a reasonable thing to do even if it’s that kind of content

Or just block it with ublock so it’s permanent

I usually make src, junk, and applications for appimages and unpackaged binaries

Why would you buy game items if you don’t want to actually open the game

hey tim if it’s meaningless and going to be on every game why are you opposed to it? shouldn’t you just not care then? are you just scared people might have more reasons to insult your garbage products if they find out you’re using ai generated content

Yeah but you kind of need codecs from packman or you’re going to have a bad time if you want like streaming or video calls. Unless more things are included out of the box now?

As someone who uses and likes tumbleweed I don’t know if I would recommend it for inexperienced users. Once you start adding third party repositories for things like video codecs, dependency issues can get really nasty. Zypper will always offer you solutions to resolve them, but if you aren’t careful which one you select you can easily do stuff like accidentally remove your network driver which is a very annoying problem to have

I’m sure you could manage to do a lot of things without a terminal on something like Fedora or Mint, but you really should just learn to use the command line. If you’re expecting it to be anything close to the windows command line it is not, it’s way easier to use and you’ll be able to do things so much faster than you ever could with a gui on windows. Learning everything you really need shouldn’t take more than a couple hours.

The one other option I can think of is ChromeOS Flex, but even there you’re going to have a way better experience if you learn to do things from the command line when appropriate

I have lots of shortcuts bound to it except I never press it because I have the caps lock key mapped to the same keycode and that’s easier to press

Honestly it’s the most problem-free distribution I’ve used. I’ve used fedora, ubuntu, opensuse, and they all are way easier to break and way harder to fix. Once you get arch working it works really reliably and when it occasionally breaks it’s easy to fix. I used nixos for a while, and it is more reliable but it’s just a little too much effort.

(Which you can disable, luckily. I still use the classic layout with the table of emails on top and the selected email below)

I think if we want something like that to be consistent everywhere we need to stop using Ctrl so much as a modifier for non-terminal tasks. It doesn’t solve everything, but using Alt or Super for copy and paste like Haiku and MacOS do is a big step in the right direction. It’s just hard to change an established custom without making the whole experience less consistent

Honestly the biggest thing is just READ WHAT IS ON THE SCREEN. So many people just refuse to read when the computer is literally telling them exactly how to resolve a problem

I thought WSL1 was a compatibility layer and 2 was a VM and they were both still supported? Is WSL 1 gone now?

She, but yeah. I don’t think it’s a good idea, but it is technically a way to run a small subset of macos software on windows without a VM, just using multiple compatibility layers instead
