Except it is going to cost them more in the end. So, this is best explained as idiocy.

Manjaro is “Arch derived” but is not Arch. Manjaro maintains its own package repos. And one of the big differences is that the packages in Manjaro are held back a few weeks before release. This difference in base repositories can matter if you try to use the AUR.

In many ways, EOS is not even a distro. It uses the Arch repos unmodified. It uses the Arch kernel unmodified. You could say that EOS is an opinionated Arch installer with pragmatic defaults. EOS has its own repos but there are only handful of packages in them, most of which are optional utilities or theming. Once installed, EOS is essentially Arch. As such, it is 100% compatible with the AUR. Two of the packages in the EOS repos are yay and paru which means the AUR works out of the box (unlike Arch itself).

You may think I am being unfair to EOS. It is my favourite distro. Manjaro is the only distro I warn people not to use.

I agree with this. It would hurt us tremendously in the short—term but probably not any worse overall. It would certainly drive a resolution more quickly.

We should be upping border security. Keep the southern threat contained.

I doubt we are even changing his title. We just need a name for when they ask who it is.

The thing is that you invest and build things like factories with a long-term time horizon. One of the things that makes stable western democracies rich is that we have stable governments and a rule of law that makes planning these large, long-term investments easier. With Trump, you have no idea what is happening next month, never mind next decade. And you can assume that most of this crazy stuff will be repealed in 4 years max. So, it is not worth building most of the factories you would need if this were going to be the policy for decades.

As you say, the supply chain is unlikely to shift that much. What will happen are changes in demand. It will hurt both sides.

There is a reason that The Depression was global. You cannot tariff your way to prosperity.

What is steel and aluminum in terms of attracting tariffs? Are finished parts still considered steel?

He does not have to “offset the tariffs”. Tariffs are a tax paid by the ones doing the importing. Americans will pay the tariffs.

He just has to resist lowering his prices to help his customers out. This can be hard sometimes but, right now, it should be pretty easy to point the finger at Trump and say there is nothing you can do.

His customers will pay more. He will make the same as before ( assuming demand does not drop ).

I regret not getting back to this sooner. Still, I want to extend my hand in solidarity. I too am enraged.

Um, yes. I would rather ally with Ukraine, regardless of who else my friends and enemies are.

Our telcos would block it for sure

RISC-V is the “new” CPU architecture

No. The kernel does not care about X11 vs Wayland. Or rather, both X11 and Wayland use KMS ( Kernel Mode Setting ) and DRM ( Direct Rendering ) these days. That is, both X11 and Wayland call on the same kernel features.

Not a fork of course but there is Redox

Yes. Thank you. My question (or point) was how you know that the package needs to be updated? As you point out, I need to do that for dependencies as well.

You are certainly correct though. You can pull AUR packages and build them without yay or paru.

I was thinking mostly of iso images I guess. You are talking about package updates.

First, fair point.

That said, for package updates, are there not Alpine mirrors? You do not need much bandwidth to feed out to the mirrors.

But I agree that, ultimately, they are going to have to find a home for the package repos if they want to directly feed their install base.

As for “the other costs”, those do not seem to have anything to do with their hosting going away.

Um. Ya, I guess. Ok.

First, how do you keep that package up to date?

Real question though is, do you really think that is better than “yay -S AURpackagehere” or even “paru AURpackagehere”?

I still have one of those! Works flawlessly.

I currently have Linux on:

• two MacBook Airs
• two MacBook Pros
• two iMacs
• one 2013 Mac Pro ( Proxmoxx )

So, you could say that I like Linux on Apple hardware. All of the above is older kit by the way.

I also have Dell and Thinkpad machines but the Apple units are by far my favourite to use.

One thing that certainly sucks though is the soldered on RAM. I have a 2012 MacBook with 16 gigs of RAM (upgraded). My much newer units will never have more than 8.

If you are worried that the script will be malicious, Distrobox does not help.

However, if your main concern is that it is going to make a mess, Distrobox is the perfect solution.
