I know this is satire but Arch is like the worst distro for a newbie…
Compared to what? Most services do not run PID1


You can just start the path with a quote and it will auto complete with spaces. I spend a lot of time correcting files with spaces replaced now. The spaces are better. I think music is the most annoying, since I like to use tools like EasyTag to extract metadata from filenames.
So please stop.naming_files.like_this.its_stupid


It’s perfectly fine to host jellyfin online. Use a proxy server to enable TLS and do not use default ports 80/443. Use letsencrypt for free certificates. No need for VPN to access here either. Do not expose any other ports such as SSH on default ports. Lock down your jellyfin server and any other related services behind a VPN service and block access to Internet through other interfaces (except for port forwards on your ISP for jelly). Go high on port ranges since they typically aren’t scanned or blocked. Go dual stack for best results and don’t use your router address for IPv6 more than likely you have your own /64 choose a different address for port forwards. Do not assign this address to your internal servers. Use a reserved unrouted IPv6 range internally and do NAT6. Do not allow any raw IPv6 internet access


This happens on slower USB devices the data is buffered and the write won’t be complete right away. You can use the “sync” command and wait until it completes to make sure it’s done before you unmount the device. These days KDE shouldn’t let you unmount before it’s done though.


I stopped using gnome after they removed the ability to edit the menu without going through a bunch of hoops. Their idea of removing complexity involved removing choice and customization. KDE has had superior multi monitor support for a long time.


I’d still be using Ubuntu sometimes if it weren’t for the snaps thing. They only make sense for proprietary software… but snaps still suck. I don’t like packaged software. They contain all kinds of things that can’t be updated. The app store was getting better before all that changed. Now Debian seems better, but I still prefer source based distros like Gentoo because the ingredients come with recipes.


I don’t really want to use Amarok, I much prefer the notoriety and active support that strawberry has. I used Amarok for a long time and it died. I would much prefer contributions to strawberry be made. Maybe it can be revised or something. I’m certainly not waiting till end of 2024 for a buggy replacement of something that already works well. By all means contribute anywhere you liked but it seems like a duplication of effort
While I agree this is funny, if you even just install one flatpack like steam that is like 15+ gb by itself. A fairly comprehensive system with kde, gimp, blender office and more take up much less space.
