I think Endeavour OS is like that too. I have 2 “unfixable” bugs on my arch installation that can never be removed. I have to manually do 2 annoying workaround tasks every time I turn on my computer before I can use it and this will likely never go away. I’ve been told both these issues can’t be fixed without a complete os reinstall and even then it might not go away. I booted into an Endeavour OS live usb and what do you know, both those bugs were fixed out of the box. Endeavour is based on Arch. The kernel it was running was a kernel number release after my installation developed both of these “forever” bugs.

Arch is great and all but holy fuck I’m sick and tired of this fucking bullshit all the time. One of these times I’m going to type sudo pacman -Syu and it will develop yet a third unfixable forever bug. This is the same shit that drove me away from Windows: uncontrollable degradation over time that can’t be fixed without os reinstall. Even Gentoo isn’t this unforgiving.

Is there a list of banks that do this? Some don’t ban root users. Or at least some don’t do as good a job as others at detecting it. Magisk has at least some kind of root hiding stuff in it.

What actually are the advantages of system rc over systemd?

Linux is too much bloat. BSD is also too much bloat. Switch to Temple OS. Actually, Temple OS is too much bloat. Uuh. Did you know that it’s possible to use gcc to compile a c or c++ program in such a way that it’s bootable? You can make your own shitty command line os in like 100kb that way and still have access to most of the easy QOL libraries and namespaces. That’s still too much fucking bloat for me though. The way I do my “computing” is I just draw on my monitor with a dry erase marker instead of plugging it into a pc.

I evangelize Linux irl by simply keeping my computer always tuned up, up to date and working well. It’s inevitable that someone’s windows or mac shitbook will do something shitty and people will pay attention to me just for not having the same problems as them. For example the other day by brother wanted to watch spongebob, his macbook wouldn’t let him connect to the TV so I plugged it right in to Arch Linux and it worked like a charm. Sometimes the superiority of Linux simply speaks for itself.

My brother tried to use his macbook to put spongebob on the TV and it wouldn’t let him due to drm reasons. Don’t let this shit become the new normal. It’s GNU Linux or nothing for me.

In my experience they’re the same from a reliability standpoint. Stuff on Arch will break for no reason after an update. Stuff on Debian will break for no reason after an update. It’s just as difficult to solve reliability problems on both.

Because Debian isn’t a rolling release you will often run into issues where a bug got fixed in a future version of whatever program it is but not the one that’s available in the repository. Try using yt-dlp on any stable Debian installation and it won’t work for example.

Arch isn’t without its issues. Half of the good stuff is on the AUR, and fuck the AUR. Stuff only installs without issues half the time. Good luck installing stuff that needs like 13+ other AUR packages as dependencies because non of that shit can be installed automatically. On other distros,all that stuff can be installed automatically and easily with a single command.

I use Arch btw.

I couldn’t figure out how to make the wifi on my Debian machine reliable so I replaced the default wifi manager front-end and backend with iwctl, the same thing Arch uses by default. It seems to be working but now I have an unholy abomination of Debian spliced with Arch DNA.

If a game doesn’t work on proton it’s not worth playing for me.

Also how LFS users look down at Gentoo users after spending 6 years learning how to do everything themselves

The best part is when I check to see what exact version of the package I really have and despite it being old, it’s the version a month after the one where the bug was fixed but I’m still getting the bug so I guess I’ll go fuck myself then.

If you actually have a choice stay away from Nvidia although it’s been a hot minute since I last saw a laptop with an amd gpu.

To my server? 4mbytes/sec on a good day. I haven’t reinstalled my os in years so things are getting really fucky. It’s actually a security measure. My shit is so slow that I’d like to think potential cyber attacks would take too long for it to be worth anyone’s time.

I use archinstall. I draw the line at having to use the command line to set up all your stupid partitions. That’s too complicated.

The windows ui is very ugly. Uglier than the windows 9x one even. Their ui design peaked with Vista and 7.

It also needs to be said how god awful the ui is. It’s not necessarily the worst layout in the world but it’s also clunky and slow as balls. It’s almost as if it’s designed to slow the user down so people are focused on how slow it is instead of its other problems or soemthing. The ui buttons in a fucking 3d game on the same pc respond quicker than windows 11 ui does.

KDE on the other hand is so goddamn fast that stuff loads faster than I can click. I literally don’t have time to use Windows.

Every year since 1993 is the year is the Linux desktop 😎

You need lots of debodated wam
