It’s mandatory for online boasting.
Why are there so many paru fans? Last release is a year old, constantly out of date in AUR and failing builds in Github don’t scream code quality. I prefer yay.
“just”… Enremovedtification is too real. :(
It’s what set me free to move to Linux for good! It’s such a relief to not be affected by all the bullremoved Microsoft brings to the world with Windows 11+.
You also had to manually cut your partitions, then to manually setup everything after install - himem, mouse, sound… It was mostly loading drivers and in Arch it’s installing and configuring packages. Sure, it’s more complex due to vastly more possibilities but the actual doing is pretty similar. And there was no wiki back then. ;)
I’m confused. You start doubting what I said and continue to confirm my point…?
what a nightmare it was, like Arch today
Disagree. Arch is smooth sailing in comparison. More like installing DOS in the early 90s.
Naive Linux users and gatekeepers.
There’s another kind I count myself to: realistic Linux users.
Linux can be a real alternative - if you have issues with Windows/Mac and are willing to tinker every once in a while. And you don’t mind playing AAA competitive shooters since those come with rootkits that won’t ever fly on Linux.
If you have to ask, don’t do it. People moving away from Windows usually have strong enough motivation to be able to tolerate the occasional tinkering Linux will require (any distro will, some more than others).
Personally, I switched a couple of years ago because I was fed up with Windows telemetry bullremoved. But I admit that’s mostly ideological because you don’t “feel” it if you choose to ignore privacy rights violations.
I then discovered Linux to be much faster (booting, I/O, program start-up, basically everything) and not becoming removedty just by using it like every single Windows version does. Also, if you run into problems it’s much easier to find and understand the root cause. Windows is just a black box.
Thanks for the link. That’s funny because translating Y to X is basically the core task when developing client-specific solutions.
