I use a redirector extension for YouTube so PipedBot is useless and annoying for me. I’d rather someone just give me a YouTube URL and let the redirector extension do its work.
TL;DRbot is okay, I guess.
Tempted to throw Sam & Max on my iPad now…
Honestly I love the Steam Deck for getting Linux into people’s hands in a way that’s easy and Just Works :tm:. They’ve not replaced the OS on their Steam Deck at all, which is a win not just for Valve but the Linux ecosystem as a whole.
Though, the only issue my friends has had is transferring files to and from the Steam Deck if their main PC runs Windows or Mac. There are a multitude of varyingly convenient options but all of my friends have literally just plugged an external hard drive through the sole USB-C port lol. Linux has to cater to people who won’t even install third-party drivers.
I was thinking on moving to Fedora, since it has more robust support for GUI-based installation through PackageKit and it’s got a more stable release cycle. But Arch and its wiki is just my bread and butter at this point that moving to another distro feels foreign and annoying in comparison, even though it’s not the distro’s fault.
Sometimes it might be sold off. I know LTT sold their Steam Deck to DankPods because Valve still haven’t brought it into Australia.
Same here!
Agreed. There has been cases of malware sneaking its way into the AUR.
Now it could be avoided by checking PKGBUILDs and I can trust that the reader is checking those (are you, reader? 🤨). But do you have that trust for every user?
I prefer Void Linux’s way of handling packages, where it all goes through one ultimately trusted git repo that gets packaged up if the license allows it, otherwise using xbps-src
. If it was a bit less DIY compared to Arch I’d be hopping onto it tbh.
I used Ubuntu, during the GNOME 2 + Compiz days. God I wish for those days to have a comeback. I’ve kept a bit of an eye on Wayfire for that reason.
me, wondering why my VHDs in 86box kept disappearing until I realised I needed to set the permissions in my distro’s Flatpak settings:
You say that but there are people who swear by the AUR for everything because it has everything or they prefer Pacman for everything lol
I used it after getting frustrated with the AUR. Never looked back unless the package wasn’t on Flatpak or had an AppImage.
I use an iPad, am subscribed to Apple Music and also use a Hackintosh setup (aiming to replace it with a MacBook of some kind in the future).
As for your point on bloatware, this happens on Android too. I can’t remove Facebook, OneDrive or YouTube from my phone, only “hide” it. (Samsung btw)
I’ll probably do that when Plasma 6 hits their main repos. I’m trying it on Arch and so far, I’m well pleased with it.
I’ve had my entire setup crash when I was updating the kernel.
I think the main issue with Content Nation, personally, was that it looked like an SEO spam site that was using the fediverse as its source for content scraping.
That being said, that still doesn’t justify the toxicity from the paranoid nerds that targeted this guy. I was quite surprised when the Bridgy Fed stuff happened, but now, I’m not surprised in the slightest.
Take my upvote. There’s nothing about Mastodon that Bluesky doesn’t do for the average user and for me it’s got an actual laid-back vibe where Mastodon feels like people trying to indoctrinate me into a nerd cult.
Sidenote, it’d be nice if Pleroma or one of its forks had the stronghold on the fediverse instead. It’s got a lot more features than Mastodon and Bluesky.
I feel the Arch devs and TUs can be quite helpful, but the users spreading the gospel can be the opposite sometimes. I remember a user saying Arch won’t implement PackageKit because it was shit, but the actual reason from a developer was that PackageKit doesn’t really work with rolling release distributions like Arch.

Some companies are alright with this but yeah there’s always a catch with Apple.
