    I use Linux because it is free and good enough to do most stuff I want to do on a computer.

    I use windows at work because I get paid - so from my perspective it is cheaper than free. It makes it frustrating to do the stuff I’m supposed to do but my employers are fucking idiots so it doesn’t really matter.




  • Surely that can be OPs choice.

    If a user has a large number of programmes they might not want to hand hold updates of all of them each time.

    If they choose only the handful they want from arch repo or aur then they might have a quicker update and find it easier to stay awake.

    I’d think it should be up to them if they want to trade off bloat vs the burden of an update.

    I find, especially for AUR stuff the update can become vexatious.








  • I read somewhere that they have some rule like you can’t put “not food” inside “food”.

    Probably a reasonable rule in many cases. Maybe they should put a tiny hole in it and argue that the “shell” is mathematically a single plane with the ‘inside’ being between the inner and outer face.

    The “btw” is insincere if they didn’t do it manually, they should be prohibited from using it.

    Arch’s tag to neatly summarise the aloof snobbery must be preserved. If archintall script users can say it; how long until “I use manjaro btw”, or “i use endeavouros btw”. At which point it just has no value - I don’t believe these people are genuinely considering themselves superior to other users - as reflected in several other comments here.

    Archinstall script should be modified to install a keylogger that will bork the system if ever “arch btw” is detected.




  • Yes I think i tended towards the latter view because I just don’t see much real world action or organising going on here.

    But some of the stuff posted does seem a bit sus - it’s almost a caricature. Even quite radical people usually have some ability to reason or engage in moderate discussion.

    I guess it doesn’t cost law enforcement much to keep an eye on this, and I’m sure lots of the terms used will flag in their webcrawlers and such.

    A few spooks and a few bots can probably do quite a lot across a lot of different social media so really not hard for them to have some presence here for minimal effort.
