Yes. Arch is not actually hard. It's just a meme.

Because debian is a vanilla distro that does as little as possible, so it isn't extra work to use it. Do you know what other distro tries to be as vanilla as possible. Arch. So if you just use the install wizard Debian and Arch are equal difficulty. AKA the easiest. Don't buy the Ubuntu marketing hype. Just because someone labels themselves the easiest doesn't mean it's true. Just because another distro is labeled hard doesn't mean it's true.

Arch is not hard... at all. Everyone says it is hard but no one can cite why. There is always the option of using a traditional linux installer wizard and it installs just as easy as any other distro. Then the only difference is you have a different command for your package manager. It runs the same software. I'm tired of hearing that there are meaningful differences between these distros when the only major difference is "command install packagename" vs "different_command install packagename". Woah there. I think this is going to be too complicated for new users.

The only other major difference is arch ships the configs that the developers recommend as a default while ubuntu tries to be as aggressive with some of the software as they can be. My experience is sometimes this breaks thing (at least did back in the day) depending on updates and your hardware. This leaves you trouble shooting the most low level stuff. I've had to do more high level tech support for myself every year I've run Ubuntu than I have in 6 years of running Arch.

Maybe Arch users shout Arch because we know it's the easiest distro we've used and we want to save new users the headache that comes from accepting the BS marketing on Ubuntu as real. The more a distro tries to accomplish the more they are going to fail the more it is you who will hold the bag for fixing it. So the distro that does the least is actually the easiest one. If you pick manjaro or artix you get the install wizard and its as easy to install as Ubuntu but with less broken stuff once it is running.

Next time something breaks in your ubuntu just know that if you were running arch it would have never happened.

Weren't you all just hating on Republicans for not voting for that bill.

How about an all bills must be fucking separate bill?

So do they just maintain their initial velocity or would we have a chance to discover the static reference velocity of the universe?

Also they would still be affected by gravity if they still exist in space. Gravity is not a force that pulls objects together. It is merely the act of going straight in curved space. Either they are in that space and they are going to move along it within the shape of that space or they are not in that space. Though really if they just moved in a straight line with no external forces they are going to be subterranean because a real straight line in our space is down.

I think maybe they are describing themselves.

In Christian Satanism is Jesus evil?

And because linux is 99% just the programs you install on it when you do upgrade to a new version you aren't being forced into a new system. This is why distro wars are pointless.

Thankfully only the baby died.

They think LGBT is benefited by having more visibility. In reality it puts them center stage for anti-LGBT rhetoric and the world is more antagonistic. In the 90s nobody cared about the gays.

This is why you don't duel boot. If Windows can't play nice with others it doesn't get to exist at all. Proton+Steam means there is never a reason to run windows at all. "But I need some non-game windows applications." K. Proton is able to reliably run games in a library of tens of thousands of games with all kinds of bad programming and obscure hardware use. It's a standard for being able to run windows apps in linux that is going to cover any other application you have.

They also bombed a lot of people who were just sitting in an apartment.

Just stop using microsoft. Why would you sign into the cloud to use your local computer. Actually own your hardware with Linux or BSD. Do I own it or do they?

It needs an electoral system that makes third parties viable.

Trump does look like a well spiced bird that's been under a heat lamp for about 40 years.

Biden looks like a bland bird that's been left to boil in a pot for 10.

As long as it all cycles back to the defense contractors the real people in power in washington would let him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD6kvDHbIYY

Israel has been plotting genocide for quite a while and anyone who has kept a bead on Israel knows that. If you supported them even before the immediately recent actions you are still a genocide enabler. So it's still both.

I agree with you that they are both genocide enablers but calling the pandemic a genocide doesn't quite work. It didn't wipe an entire group of people off of the planet or out of an area. But yes, anyone who supports Israel right now is a genocide enabler, literally, and unfortunately both qualify, and so does almost all of congress.

If the system only gives you genocide enablers as an option it's time to stop believing in that system.

He misspelled politicians.

Maybe if people understood electoral design and consensus mechanism we could have something other than the worst possible options in each party. Election mechanisms that promote popularity instead of acceptability is what got us here. The truth is the system doesn't work. When can people just start saying that openly?
