I feel arch users would be far more popular if this were true.

Because everyone is already some cute maid IRL?
- I’m definitely a cute maid.
  Want me to send proof?
ok but like it kind of is....
(i use arch btw)

Honestly, yes. Whenever my PC goes to sleep, my SSD stops working. I have to unplug it and plug it back in to make it work again.

Journalctl suggests the SATA port doesn't support suspend signals. I suspect my mobo (ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus) doesn't fully support sleep on Linux. Though I've yet to test if it's also an issue on Windows.

Have the wifi version of that mobo. No issues with suspend with either ubuntu or Pop-OS. Using an nvme as primary.
Might honestly be arch.
- Same, but the issue is with my second drive on SATA.
- Had a very similar issue with an Intel NUC running Arch.
I've just given up on all sleep/hibernate stuff on Linux and pretend it doesn't exist and we never invented that and just fully shut down like it's 1995. Half the time it does work, it comes back in a half-ass zombie state anyway with shit broken left and right, needing a full reboot.
- Sleep isn't even that useful these days anyways. If you have your OS installed on an SSD or an M.2, you'll start up in about 10 - 15 seconds from fully powered off anyways.
that is bizarre. My MSI board has been pretty much perfect with sleep, never tried hibernation though.

I signed up for heartache by choosing a Chromebook to fucking around with. I don’t afraid.

Fuck, I regret buying my Chromebook so much.
- Did you use the Mrchromebox.tech “hack “ to use an alt OS on it? My Chromebook has become my daily driver now. Though I fuckers it up constantly.

I just did this yesterday! I’ve worked with Linux/Unix for a long time, but I’ve never had a Linux machine at home. We had an ancient cheap chromebook and I turned it into a functional Linux laptop! I used GalliumOS though, which isn’t being actively developed any longer, so I might have to change setups eventually.
- I really think chromebooks have a decent future in the linux community. Especially with them being cheap. I use mabox linux, its a manjaro +openbox distro with tons of customization options. Its way way cool. If you are more into debian you should check out bunson labs !

I don’t want to be a weeb.

sudo rm -rf / --no-preserve-root
FTFY.
Just use DVD-r for storing the core os so that you won't ever have problems accidentally deleting your is on accident

I think an arch user would know to wear the antistatic band on the wrist that's grounded... but maybe that's just me. /pretentious_sniff

Would they? Arch users strike me as coming in two flavors.
Competent users who have a significant amount of IT knowledge, that happen to enjoy an incredibly lightweight Linux distro which is fully configurable. This group is akin to a racecar driver with a project car in their garage.
Random people who lack basic knowledge but drink whatever Kool aid they're given, and just happened to fall into a FOSS community where that Kool aid was Linux. They install Arch because someone said it's the best, and their ability to do so gives them an air of superiority and the belief that they're competent like group 1. This group is more like a teenager with a KIA, who believes their glued-on hood scoop gives them more horsepower.
Due to social media the second group far outpaces the first. So I'd wager most of them don't even know what the acronym ESD stands for, let alone how grounding works in basic electrical theory.

  Grounding moves the magic smoke from one component to another, preferably, to one you don't own.
- you forgot about the part of the arch community where we forcibly require arch users to manually install arch linux. You don't just wake up and accidentally install arch linux manually, you have to know what you're doing, even if being a bumbling idiot during the process, you're still doing it the hard way.
  Jokes aside, arch by nature is more tempting to "real linux users" the average "i use linux kid" is going to use kali or something.
Trust me, there is no need for that nowadays, most components have serious anti-static protection in them.
- Wasn't really all that needed even twenty years ago, you could keep yourself grounded to the case easily without one
I just quickly touch the earth pin in the nearest outlet. I don't think it does anything, but it can't hurt either.
- Just touch the PSU. It's grounded and then you are as well then Touch it regularly and static never builds up.
  I live in a super dry place with static sparking on the sheets when I move, so these are actual words of wisdom.
is that necessary with the gloves?
- Duh, the whole maid outfit is purely functional
- Fabric friction creates static charge, so it would be worse.
- having worn gloves like that, if i were to work on a computer wearing them that would be the first time i'd actually bother using an electrostatic bracelette

The fact that I look bad in lace is why I use Debian btw

takes lace gloves off

I feel extremely called out right now.

puts lace gloves back on

Please know that you are precious as you are.
They only appear when offended 🤔... what a strange creature...

The case is bloat, a real Arch user wouldn't need it

I am into Arch now.

btw

You know, I'm kinda surprised there isn't a Maid IT service out there somewhere. You're telling me I can fix computers all day AND dress in a maid outfit? sign me up!

I know it’s anecdotal but I have never seen a single IT service guy I’d fancy seeing in a maid outfit.
- Coward

I'm in this picture

I laughed about the meme.

But It's the opposite of my experience tbh. I had way more trouble before I finally switched to arch.

Give NixOS a try. Imagine never even having the risk of a broken system ever again. Never getting stuck in the TTY because some update bricked to your shit. It's a nice life on Nix.
- Idk, I like NixOS but it's not problem-free and the worst part about it is that for some problems you won't have much luck finding help in many places and on top of that the documentation isn't the greatest. That said I have found less very serious issues, but also because I haven't messed with it as much as Arch.
- Are you willing to take a list of my requirements and giving me a functional set of nix / homemanager / flake files that fullfill those requirements? (It's a long and very particular list) I'll even pay you 150$ if you can manage to fulfill 100% of the must haves and over 80% of the want haves.
  Because last time I tried it took over a week, was buggy (thus compromising about a quarter of the must have requirements) and provided no visible benefit over my current archlinux with a set of custom packages for dotfiles, config backups and bootable btrfs snapshots from my personal experience.
- I don't like the nix package manager it updates too slowly, and though a config file for everything is a neat idea, i found that it was kind of clunky for use on a desktop, so i'm back on void (which tbf has way less packages than arch or nix but xbps has everything i personally need)

Missing the grounding strap that goes around your wrist to prevent static electricity damage.

Come now, my hardware is newer than that

I noticed they completely removed the power supply. I wonder if that's them being overprotective or undercautious?

considering that my aux PC just had its power supply explode...
It depends on what happened to the machine.

This is obviously false. The hardware Is fine, I fucked up the config.

I unironically do have a bootstick at hand for this case though.

Guess I’ll be feeling it soon

It's really not that bad. Just don't go off script unless you know what you're doing. Same as every OS.
- And make sure you shave your legs with the grain, not against. Ingrown hairs suck.
Don’t miss to insult the maintainer of a AUR package as noob while installing it completely wrong, lol

I don't fix my PC, I just throw it away amd buy a new one.

Much faster than fixing a broken arch install.

Careful, that maid is evil 💀😉

loll i met someone just like this 2 days ago

Ah man this is the first meme I saw and I just got done giving up trying to install Arch because I'm getting some systemd hang from the USB installer.

Try Void, no systemd 😁.
- It's in the iso 😢 how hard is it to switch out void on the livecd?

I don't get it. Arch Linux is the butt of a joke because it's Linux?

What are u even talking about lol. The meme is about the fact that there is huge trans community using arch. Unixsocks for example
- Trans people: exist
  Linux user base: TRANS PEOPLE EXIST
  Wow, great joke. 🙄
Joke?
