It also has security issues as a feature constantly being pushed to users based on ai doing pr reviews and automatically merge and push stuff to users.

It all depends on the stimulation.

Been on arch on multiple computers for at least 15 years. Personal and work computers. It just works. Although it’s for competent users and that might be the issue most people have with it.

I’ve destroyed whole system by accidentally deleting the var folder and still recovered it without backups.

I’ve also had a computer without updates turned off for more than a year and it also still worked just fine when updating and reading some quick things on the news page.

I’ve used many ubuntus on work laptops and other distros before arch and they just would eventually break or get into a Frankstein state that there was no way out without a full clean reinstall. Never again.

Some years ago I think windows source was available to be studied in some universities? No sure how true that is and if any recent version is available. Sure would be fun if the slopmachine just ingested all of it…

And people also don’t understand the difference between a non profit managed in good will by people and a capitalist saas provider that has billions to spend in hundreds and hundreds of people to maintain an ever growing central place to host all corporate interests.

The internet is becoming ridiculous.

I have installations reaching 10 years. It just works when you don’t have to worry about “upgrades”. Best choice of my life.

Welcome to the whole comedy of this guy. You cry, you feel it and it hurts.

Clearly you never had multiple screens with different dpi values.

It’s funny that they have been doing the exact same for decades at this point.

Windows already fucked with the booloader when lilo was the default in every distro. They have no reason to learn, it’s all part of the way.

You can just not update for weeks or months if that’s your thing. If there’s a thing arch doesn’t do is force things.

That actually had me laugh.

I’ve used it for so many years that it’s not an issue anymore. I remember using !! a lot but it was literally just for sudo. Now i either write what I need and do up or write what I need and then press alt+s, which seems even more intuitive now.

Not all shells support that.

I use fish btw.

More like Syyu.

I can assure you there are lots of people in computer science that don’t know what linux, foss or firefox are.

Yes it never worked right. Specially in all shitty laptops with a discrete nvidia card and how they all had different ways to be integrated. At least for personal laptops I only buy ones with simple integrated graphics, but was always a shitty situation with work laptops. It was particularly fun knowing that the hdmi port was only connected to the nvidia card so if I disabled the nvidia card on the bios basic shit lime that wouldn’t work. Let’s not even mention how it was constantly crashing for sleep or when waking up.

Also works good in macos. Been using it instead of the lima/colima stack for a few weeks now.

Deep package insertion.
