    Ok but how did they fit tho

    [–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Linux collects tracking information in the back to send perfectly fitting thigh highs on your location. Hope this helps.

    When do mine arrive? :(

    [–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    Mazel tov. The next step down the rabbit hole is to get a tiling window manager like i3.

    [–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    I already have Hyprland installed

    [–] thagoat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago

    Cosmic by popOS is pretty slick.

    [–] PumpkinEscobar@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    I haven't switched to it full time, still happy with KDE... but niri is really nice too

    [–] Arkhive@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    Just finished my basic niri install on NixOS. Seriously loving it. Had been wanting to ditch Hyprland for a while, but kept hitting walls with tutorials and blogs trying to convince me to use flakes and home manager. Finally last night I sat down and completely rewrote my config to just be simple default config style and got niri working. Feels like the window manager experience I’ve been dreaming of my whole life.

    What issues were you having with hyperland? I've been running awesomewm for about a decade and I know my days on x11 are numbered. Hyperland was going to be my next trial.

    [–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 weeks ago

    Not the same person, but the Hyprland developer is... controversial, so that could be the reason.

    I do use an arch-based distro tho I've never like gotten the bad sides? Maybe my distro maintainers are just that good

    [–] 1984@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    There isnt any bad sides, not really.

    It used to be hard to install but that is also not the case anymore.

    People think its unstable because it has the latest packages. I mean, sometimes i have had issues, sure. A few times, bluetooth stack was bugging out in the newest kernel. Another time plasma had bugs with graphics, which I reported and it was fixed just a few weeks later.

    Nothing that broke the entire system. Just small issues.

    But this is much better than running Debian which has very old packages, full of old bugs. They used to be a full generation behind in plasma for example, and using a kernel that was over a year old. Those things leads to poor hardware support, getting bugs solved over a year ago and so on.

    I really dont understand Debian users because ive never experienced how an updated system is worse than a very old one.

    That tells me you don't understand what a "stable" release branch is. The Debian maintainers do a lot of work to ensure that the packages not only work, but work well together. They don't introduce breaking changes during the lifecycle of a major branch. They add feature updates between point releases, and continuously release security updates.

    In the real world, that stability is a great value, especially in the server space. You'd be insane to use Arch as a production server, and I'm saying that as an Arch user.

    Something, something, sword of Damocles.

    I mean, they distributed the xz attack, and then rolled it back when a debian sid user signaled it. This is just not a viable way to do things, especially if the number of users increases. You need a stronger testing policy before the update hits the users, you shouldn't just assume everything can be fixed by further updates. Debian stable is a bit on the extreme side of that, but Debian testing or Fedora feel much more reasonable long term to me

    Same, and the only few problems I've ever had with it have been due to Nvidia drivers, so not on them.

    Back in my day we had Unix beards, unkempt hair and no sense of fashion.

    Im boxing with fedora at the moment myself. I hate that arch was easier.

    [–] reddifuge@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Ubuntu frustrates me more than arch.

    [–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    Arch has glorious documentation. That is literally the only thing that blows me away about it.

    [–] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Arch wiki is so good it’s useful even when you’re not on Arch

    [–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

    I fall pretty squarely into the script kiddie category compared to a lot of people on here and arch wikis has been an incredibly valuable resource.

    β€œI want to do X like Y. Surely someone much of done this by now.” Arch wiki: β€œfunny you should mention that. Here is free documentation that is pretty up to date, has lots of detail and examples, but don’t drown you.”

    Seriously, I look at red hat and debian documentation and little ADHD brain hamster just strokes the fuck out on his wheel. Arch wiki is a comfortable ride. It’s just…digestible if that makes any sense.

    [–] urandom@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    I like the way packages are made. Such a simple and elegant system

    what's your issues with fedora? every time in installed it, i had no problems.

    [–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

    I feel this. I had to give up on connecting to my home wifi on windows server edition.

    This was right after I daily drove openbsd for 2 months. I was connecting to PEAP encrypted networks using wpa_supplicant and now I couldn't connect to my phone's hotspot.

    Im leaning into it because arch linux on arm stuff is a joke compared to the x86 mainstream stuff. Fedora treats ARM as an equal.

    [–] Yttra@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Fedora was also my first choice, but the allure of the AUR was too strong at the time and I didn't last a month...

    why didn't I get any thigh highs or cat ears 3:

    I know! I didn't either! :(

    [–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    i have to install pre-packaged arch images because my laptop doesn't have a ethernet port.
