I don’t know if people use it on desktop but with its minimal size it’s convenient as hell for docker images that don’t need a lot of dependencies installed

Fun fact, “fos” means “liquid shit” in Hungarian, applies literally in this case

Am I the only one who’s fine with typing a password?

I don’t really get what people mean when describing Gnome or any DE as “out of the way”. I’ve never felt like KDE was “in my way”.

“A chance for Faramir, captain of Gondor, to show his quality”

(he slays orks using Arch btw)

One would think that, but I’ve seen many claims that it actually runs faster. I wouldn’t know personally, I haven’t used Windows in 5 years

Yep it looks cleaner than btop imo

“But it’s so convenient” is a close second

“But why would they care about MY data, I don’t do anything special”

Anyone outside of tech when I even passingly mention privacy

That’s not my experience with Arch at all, it kinda just works nowadays

They like it when a man they’re already attracted to is passionate, at least that’s my theory

Same. I want to try NixOS, or immutable distros, or a fully containerized system, and I’ve been meaning to give Gentoo a shot for years as well (I’m not suffering enough on Endeavor, btw). I even got a second drive just so I don’t have to throw my current setup away, but I’m just so comfy and everything just works and it’ll be so much work to actually give a new system a fair shot.

I like to dunk on nvidia as much as anyone but really driver support has not been as much of a problem these last few years, other than Wayland it sort of just works for me

It felt so great when I finally wiped my Windows drive back in the day. Suddenly I had an extra drive to distro hop to my heart’s content without having to wipe the previous distro 👌

That’s something Windows used to do a lot, right? I remember the old HDDs were always noisiest under Windows

CLI:

• git
• zsh
• neovim
• lazygit
• my dotfiles (i have them on gh and then use a bare repo)
• a few extra utilities: htop, ripgrep, tree, exa
• yay (I use Arch btw)
• tools for whatever langs I’m using, usually rust or golang

GUI:

• Steam - games are on a separate disk that I add to /etc/fstab so I just need to add it to Steam and I’m good to go
• Lutris
• Sublime Text
• Spotify
• Discord
• Flameshot
• psensor

It was meant to be a joke… viruses are MEANT to be downloaded by their creators, but nobody would actually want to do that

You wouldn’t download a virus

Piracy is THEFT

Oh boy. I definitely started with Ubuntu 17.04 in 2017 when I started uni, then soon downgraded to 16.04 because Unity was soooo much better than Gnome. But afterwards it’s a blur, I was distrohopping basically every few months, sometimes even more often. I used Antergos (RIP), Manjaro, all flavors of Ubuntu except Gnome, Mint, then I was into the whole minimalistic tiling wm suckless no-systemd rabbit hole with Void, I also did KDE Neon at some point, I definitely did pure Arch as well, and Artix too. Sometimes I even hopped at work when I had a bit more time. God I miss those days…

Right now I’ve settled on Mint for work and Endeavor for personal use and haven’t hopped for over a year which is as long as I’ve ever gone. I miss hopping but I’m so comfy right now. I’ve been thinking about finally giving Gentoo a go full time as I’ve been flirting with the idea forever. And there’s also Nix. And I’ve been meaning to try a system where I fully embrace flatpak (right now I never use it). I’d also like to try something like Qubes eventually. So yeah, plenty to see still after all these years.
