Agreed.

Me thinks someone has a secret affection for a certain group of people.

yeah, the new Plasma is hard to beat. I want to like Gnome… I just see no compelling features, really.

That this is a thing and that is the result, blows my mind.

You don’t really compile anything during or after install with arch linux unless you find something on the AUR that needs to compile? If so, just look for <package_name-bin>.

Otherwise, a really nice system is NixOS.

Another is GNU Guix.

Yeah, reaper is definitely not open.

I think my all time favorite for learning a new language is language transfer. Though, I don’t see a polish or Japanese option, sadly.

I am not entirely sure why I thought it was something to do with the filesystem. It’s just weird.

I found that if I put, say, a text file in Documents then log out and back in, those symlinks show up.

Ah well. so long as nothing breaks, it’s not that bad.

Oh, I get that. They do introduce some bloat. Though, at least for me, I have enough resources to manage it without much concern. I wouldn’t recommend flatpak’s if you want a lean, mean, machine. That’s for sure.

I used arch for a long time and only recently switched over to fedora silverblue. One of the things I missed most was the AUR (and pacman), for sure. However, I discovered something called distrobox. It allows me to install an archlinux container and from there I can use the AUR with no problems. It’s pretty seamless, too. So, if there is something I can’t find something then it’s no problem now.

Though, fedora has pretty much everything anyway. Flatpaks are getting damn good.
