iirc it is during install now. You have to do things that are way beyond the average user’s knowledge or ability to enable a local account.

I mean sure, that would be great, but I don’t have that.

It is an issue for me because the only machine I have is my daily driver laptop, and I’d really rather not take up even that 35GB if it can be helped.

OK, this bot is very useful. Thanks to … whoever.

You are quite right in that it is not a cheap VMS. Since I don’t know 100% how to set thing up, though, the cost might be worth my time.

I may just pay for it and report back as a service to the community.

Ok, but I’ve only a remote idea of what you’re saying. Can you elaborate?

Thanks, I’ll look into this stuff.

I’ve been waiting for the free Oracle cloud to open up (I know that’s super rare). Is there a goof VPS you can recommend?

Yeah, that’s partially why I’d need info as to if this Lemmy host is legit. I have the domain (technically), and if the price jumps I’d be ok with that. I paid upfront for a couple years at $1/yr. Yeah, the registrar might screw me over, but at the price I’ve paid, there’s not a lot of risk. I really need feedback on the Lemmy host.

budgie or something idk I use Awesome

Is noone going to say anything about what’s going on in the terminal?

I’m a fan of Free Beer because it’s beer that can be free as in free Beer and free as in freedom.

Console output with status of the current operation, including error and warning messages

Yeah, it is obvious hyperbole.

I mostly appreciate the pre-installed browser that takes many less steps to harden than a fresh install.

Very fair. I’m a far cry from an advanced user - I know just enough to be dangerous to myself, and didn’t see that. As I said in another comment, though, I do like that the default browser is somewhat hardened and uses a decent searx instance as the default search. It does seem to be marketed towards teenagers, though, unfortunately.

Yeah, I get that. I do, however, really like how FireDragon comes with a lot of the extension I’d like to use, and with searx as the default web search. It also takes almost no time to switch to a much better KDE layout as opposed to the seemingly script kiddie dr4a6onized default.

I didn’t want to do any of that crap either, which is why I installed Garuda. I love the workflow of ocean and may, but have no interest in spending an entire day installing an OS. It has been really good to me.

Can’t, Pacman will eat me.
