Damn, maybe I should give Arch a try…

I am not interested in being preached at unless you have a workable alternative and a good reason why should I switch over.
I gnash my teeth and cry into my pillow every night because I’m not being data harvested by Microsoft. I open my taskbar and wail, for there are no ads to be displayed.
Linux. Not even once.
Why is discord so popular in non-gaming circles? People use it as a shitty, bloated and centralized IRC clone, with the voice fuction being completely ignored.
If the program’s author hasn’t bothered to properly document its function, then it has no business being on my machine.
And Arch is right fucking there
I fiddled with a winmodem wrapper, actually bought a hardware modem that connected via usb (???), until I got broadband. It does change everything.
Tied to proprieatry backend, snap store looks like ass and runs like one, spawns loop devices that mess up the /mnt folder, tied to fake .deb packages that install snaps instead. Basically, a lot of proprieatry nonsense that St. Ignucius frowns upon.
Or if the repos contain outdated versions of the software. And yes, snaps are cancer, still cannot avoid them. 🥲

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than writing BSD-licensed software. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are designing, programming, debugging and distributing a piece of software for any number of years solely so it can go and get used in proprietary projects by corporations. All the hard work you put into your beautiful software - writing good documentation, making optimizations, making sure it runs well on other machines, formatting it, troubleshooting it. All of it has one simple result: its codebase is more enjoyable for proprietary projects.
Wrote the perfect software? Great. Who benefits? If you’re lucky, a random corporation who had nothing to do with the way it was developed, who uses it. That corporation gets to use it in spyware and DRM, like Minix and IME. It gets the benefits of the software’s innovation and optimization that came from the way you programmed it.
As a programmer who writes BSD-licensed software, you are LITERALLY dedicating however many years of your life simply to program software for proprietary corporate/government projects to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically.
These records should have been in the public domain many years ago. Copyright law needs a thorough reform
Going from NAS to SAN - nice, but playing Amazon/MS for keeping my data is a bit much, unless i have literal pentabytes that have to be high accsses.
Either go big or go home. RAID or bust.
GNOME has gone to shit since 4, XFCE is the new gnome as far as I am concerned.
I know that making networks out of duct tape and bubblegum is a point of pride in the Linux community, but if you have to store vital data, wouldn’t a nice hardware NAS and a RAID array be a better solution?
While I dislike bloat, I also avoid distros that have been minimalized to the point of uselessness. Minimalist distros are great for old and embedded computers, but regular desktop ones should not require you to install 90% of the OS after booting it.
You forgot the IRC client with people talking about anime milkers in it.
Go slowly and use plenty of lube, right?
