This hasn't really been true with arch for years. As long as you update reasonably frequently. I haven't had a breaking issue in ages.

What were the issues you had that broke things?

All of those are still ancient systems. Arch or opensuse tumbleweed are the only systems that are reasonable for a desktop because they're rolling releases

As a senior software engineer with a degree in electrical engineering, I'll 99% of the time pull up a python shell to do simple arithmetic. Or Google "1 day in minutes"

Generally as wireless tech gets faster, it's less able to travel distances or penetrate stuff

Addition?

I fucking hate this. How can you like that?

Your loss =D

I'm pretty sure Lemmy is like 95% software devs

Lol this is a joke right?

Biden has been a centrist wet wipe letting abortion and bathroom bans run rampant

What exactly are you suggesting he could have done differently

The reason I ask is because as someone AMAB, and has not transitioned or anything, I can relate to a weird sense of guilt for being attracted to girls but also being jealous. It's hard to explain, and was just curious if this was a deep cut into my personal psychological experience or not =]

Is this a trans thing? I can't quite tell what the artist is trying to convey, but this resonates with me...

If that's the standard we use, even being on lemmy is nsfw. The titles/thumbnails/etc.

I'm not joking. What makes it not safe for work? It's text

What do you mean "it actually is NSFW"? What's NSFW about it?

This is a shitposting sub. There's lots of stuff that lots of people don't want to read. Doesn't mean every post needs to have a description of what will be in the post. And marking it as NSFW just devalues the point of NSFW

But I actually prefer that, that’s why I’m interested in slowroll.

IMO that's a mistake. Especially for kde, and especially wayland. KDE moves very quick. If you're not on a distro that has the latest stable packages at any time you're missing out. I hear people on linux bitch about kde only to realize they're on some LTS distro running kde 5.24 or something.

And staying on old versions of stuff is stupid. Do you have a staging environment that you test upgrades? Because if not, all you're doing is pushing off changes until you have to dump a huge amount of them at once, which is WAY more likely to break stuff in ways that will be extremely hard to figure out, instead of incremental upgrades.

I have heard a lot of good things about the AUR. I’m currently using a combination of zypper packages, nix packages, Flatpak apps and opi and using a single method would be preferable (system packages and flatpak would be fine too).

I haven't used nix stuff, but the AUR and the official repos are why arch is so great. Basically everything you could possibly want is in there, and kept up to date. When I have to use other distros I think it's totally absurd how many applications want you to install ppas, or curl custom scripts and pipe them to bash, it's absurd. Totally a step backwards in linux.

Oh come on. It's text. You can stop reading at any time. Not everything has to have trigger warnings, which are generally not effective and can in fact be harmful

Well for one, fedora comes with gnome. So that's already a reason not to. Also afaik fedora isn't actually a true rolling release.

Also pacman is the best and the arch repos are amazing, augmented with the AUR

Yeah. But they wouldn't say it's made it's "meat"
