Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

-Character from some movie I pirated

Depends if there's a camera nearby or not.

"They're gone? Bring back the Brother."

The LAST thing we want is to be directly involved.

I had the same concerns as OP, and you have pretty much convinced me. Well done.

The last thing I want to do is engage with you, but let's talk this out.

I said to the victor goes the spoils.

He said, "simplistic, a lot of conquered people told their stories."

I said, "I never said they didn't, but a lot of those stories were lost because conquerors are particular about their narratives."

And that's really it. I'm not at work now, so the language is a little less compressed on my end. I had to get to the point yesterday.

I was saying that since we're getting older, things ache now. We need ibuprofen to decrease the pains.

I'll give SteamOS a shot when I get my Steamdeck. Until then, it's just vanilla Arch on my main machine until I've seen what it's like.

I see you're also in the Ibuprofen demographic.

Fair enough. It's hard to read tone on the internet. Sorry for that.

I'll check out some of your articles/books, sure.

Because you've put words in my mouth.

Show me where I said all marginalized narratives were burned.

But also, some WERE burned. Lost to history. Gone. As if they never happened.

You don't follow my thought process, or you're being willfully obtuse?

Simplistic, but marginalized narratives were also burned in big bonfires at times, as well.

History is written by the conquerors.

To the victor goes the spoils, as they say.

Yeah, honestly you can replace Arch with Gentoo. Arch is for when you don't have a life for an afternoon or two while you're getting set up. After that it's smooth.

And they have a shocking share of the server market despite the existence of Debian. Unfortunate.

It was a third party vendor, so I'm guessing the profit didn't go to the distros. But advertising is advertising.

I run Debian on my work laptops, and Arch on my gaming rig. They are absolutely equal in terms of time sink, and it's not that bad at all.

This guy programs.

I recently happily purchased some metal Debian stickers for my work laptops. If you know, then you know. And if you want to know, I'm more than happy to explain.

The Arch metal sticker for my home gaming rig? That was for me.
