I switched over to development/experimental package repos cause I was impatient for a new feature. I switched back to prod but I didn’t revert my packages. It worked fine for a couple weeks but they eventually became to outdated and I couldn’t post.

Luckily you can use a live stick to chroot in to fix. Felt pretty cool being able to do that, but yeah it was a stupid mistake lol. And I’m always gonna have a live USB on the side just in case I do something similarly bone headed.

I made a major mistake that bricked my system, all my fault, but I was able to plunge my arm into the smoldering pit it fell into and drag my install directly from the gates of hell. Still working great like half a year later and I now know not to do what I did before that broke it all.

EndeavourOS, Simply Arch with an installer, has KDE as an option for DE.

I use it, I love it. Arch is great. E-OS just cuts out the first few hours/days of set up.

Steam said my partner was ineligible, so no, steam gets final choice. 😢

It’s like the meme, is there someone you forgot to ask?

I grew up with a severe hormone imbalance.

Glory to him!

Not literal but not a joke, it is a serious phrase of figurative speech. It originates from a french revolutionary "When the people shall have nothing more to eat, they will eat the rich.” which is most likely a reference to the famous quote by the same author, ‘At length I remembered the last resort of a great princess who, when told that the peasants had no bread, replied: "Then let them eat brioches.’ — Jean-Jacques Rousseau

The rich said let them eat cake, I propose we eat the rich

I don’t know if this is a poe, they have a history of saying some pretty ick things. I think this is as it appears, a misogynistic guy dragging themselves through the mud. Either that or a bog standard troll.

well… not really, it’s the romaji spelling of them.

So true, we should call it ofout

The aur usually has what I need, only have had to manually build once… Before I found the aur package. Endeavoros is a good easy way to get into arch if you are worried about the manual configuration.

I am sure there are instances I have forgotten, there is definitely a certain amount of bigotry, it’s not hard to find classism, sexism, and ableism as usual for the internet and I am sure I have come across racism too but I don’t remember any specifics.

Yeah, I just finished my upgrade this morning and got crashing, easy downgrade but hopefully wayland and nvidia can play nice consistently soon lol

wuh oh, I haven’t updated in a while, only a couple times since the explicit sync fix and I haven’t had any issues. I was just planning on doing that today though…

The new nvidia driver has explicit sync, wayland perfect for me since I updated it a week or so ago.

My moment was using the experimental repos to get an early view into wayland, after seeing it wasn’t quite ready for my system I just switched back. Mistakes made, and slowly over the next few weeks as I updated, the experimental packages never got superseded and updated, until my system crashed and would not pass boot.

Luckily since it is not windows I just used a live usb stick to mount the disk and manually reinstall all the broken system packages. Scary but made me feel pretty confident I could recover the system myself in the future. Also learned a pretty important lesson. Don’t do that, and look at the upgrade log if you do lol, cause the whole time, as I upgraded there was red text showing me all the system packages that were not getting updated.

Are they a transgender inspector of submarines? Or do they inspect transgender subs, cause… I could do with some inspection.

:) Yep you can! There’s “An Anime Game launcher” for linux

For gaming - https://github.com/sonic2kk/steamtinkerlaunch1 It bundles a few useful things as well like another suggestion: https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode as well as quite a few others, tinker is especially useful if you want to mod too, making mod organizer 2 very easy to use, taking a lot out of the otherwise manual set up

Also in general, look for custom launchers, Genshin has a custom launcher, runescape as well, I believe gog does too. If you can’t use foss at least use a better launcher.

for media honestly you can’t beat VLC, but I run a plex server I typically use, for music I use strawberry, and for asmr desktop noise Blanket is a super cool package, and I like Cozy for audio-books.

Edit: Oh and for gaming I saw another comment recommending retroarch and I totally agree, retroarch works amazing on linux, so much better performance than I ever had emulating on windows before I switched.
