Cups takes some playing with to get right but once you have it setup and saved, the thing should work whenever

Nice! Good luck!

How do you like Manjaro? I am on normal arch with kde and I love it. Manjaro’s own repos scare me.

I disagree that the UI/DE/WM is a good way to evaluate a distro. One could make any distro look and feel like any other.

In my opinion one should look primarily at three factors:

1. Package manager
2. Release type
3. Stability

From there just choose either Debian or Arch and install the UI you want with the DE/WM

Pieces of removed devices

(Point of Sale, jokes aside. But they often are POS as well.)

What do you mean by “apt/pacman”? Which one are you using?

The other day I was reading some GitHub issues involving an issue I was also having and the maintainer of the project was directing people to their discord server to talk about and hopefully resolve the issue. On top of that, they came back to the GitHub issue and just posted that after some discussion (on Discord) the issue had been resolved. Totally useless to me and anybody else who might be searching for that thing.

Idk why you’re downvoted for this. I’d also like to see split tabs in firefox. I do research/writing for a living and having both open in one window would be nice.

Get your head out of the gutter. There is a difference between file and philia, the former being something managed by this program and the latter being Greek for “love”. Further, the phil- prefix/suffix is used in many words which don’t mean what you seem to associate it with. Take philosophy for example—the love of wisdom.

What’s wrong with it?

It is much less of a PITA than it is often made out to be. I made the transition just recently and had both Plex and Jellyfin running simultaneously for about a month. I used that time to just go through and adjust my progress through my home videos on Jellyfin so I remembered where I left off before shutting down Plex entirely. As long as your directory structure is well organized, it shouldn’t be hard to switch to Jellyfin at all, and if your directories aren’t organized… well it’s a good opportunity to organize them. For large libraries, the *arr stack is great for that.

Does cd + work to go forward after using cd - ?

I just finished reading it! One grammatical thing I noticed: “system de jour” should be “system du jour”. System made of day vs. system of the day

CUPS? Use the localhost webpage to configure

What’s complex about pacman? I’ve found pacman to be more reliable and easier to manage than apt, so I’m just curious about your experience

Personally I’m not opposed to standardization, but having alternatives would be nice in case something ever happened to the standard

This is why I like window transparency for certain apps. That way I can set the desktop background to something fairly neutral, then set window transparent and blur it so I can always sort of see what’s behind. Idk, it makes everything feel a bit lighter
