Needs are always based on objectives. Need to stay alive? Food, shelter, basic hygiene. Need to stay sane? Stimulation, interaction, meaning. Need to be happy? Free time, achievement.

The important thing is they are always conditional. You don’t even need to stay alive, unless you have an objective that requires it. You don’t need to go to the movies, unless your objective is to unwind. And so on.

Most often our wants and desires are what creates need as a requirement to achieve them.

Haven’t tried Cachy, but can vouch for Garuda being stable and easy.

This is what made the difference for me.

I use Garuda, which is Arch based. Pretty much every time I’ve had a problem it’s been solved by update, restart.

If you want to try and build a raw Arch system from scratch, maybe it’s still complicated, I don’t know, but there are easy Arch options these days.

Super helpful info, thanks!

That makes total sense. I haven’t dipped my toes into AUR, so I’m not surprised I missed it.

I’ve only been on Linux about a year. I started with Bazzite and then switched to Garuda. Garuda is Arch based but has always been fast and easy, even with an Nvidia card.

Am I missing something? Arch seems fine.

Not enough plastic is coming out of your nozzle.

It really could be a lot of things… a clog, temperature to low, too much friction against the filament so it is hard to pull through, nozzle is bigger than your slicer settings say.

Try one thing at a time. Good luck!

They’re new, and they make decisions for you.

As a new user, I’ve never had trouble with them.

I don’t know what all these doomsayers are doing. I installed Bazzite and it just worked. I decided I didn’t want an immutable system so I switched to Garuda, and it just worked. I have Nvidia and didn’t have to do anything extra.

My first Linux was Bazzite. It was great but I didn’t like immutability so I switched to Garuda, which was also very easy.

As you are deciding, consider the differences between the main branches, Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc., and their operating philosophy. Next look at the distro, specifically the helper apps and tools. Many distros now have “at startup” apps now that will help you with updates and installing common software. This help, or lack of it, will make a big difference to you as a beginner.

Eugenics isn’t just done by government. The world has been limiting the reproduction of the disabled through social pressure for ages. Look at the stigma interracial relationships used to have. Examples are everywhere.

Why does everyone think eugenics only means the way the Nazis did it?

It’s a broad term people. The government is the most heavy handed way to implement it but social pressure is arguably more effective and harder to end.

Look. If you want to talk about ethnic cleansing, talk about ethnic cleansing. If you want to talk about mass murder, talk about mass murder. But the term “eugenics” covers a lot of possibilities whether you like that or not.

Sorry.

Well, once involves mass murder and the other doesn’t, so I think the people being impacted by that would see a difference.

But if your worldview needs overgeneralizations to survive, you do you I guess.

Which eugenicists?

There a big difference between “kill everyone of a certain race” and “you don’t get to reproduce if you have a horrifying heritable disease”.

I think you have it backwards, it’s no wonder people who are easy to manipulate get drawn into religion.

Garuda does will with Nvidia too.

I assume you mean raw? Because I’m a noob and I installed Garuda, which is Arch, and it’s been dead easy.

Everyone could use Arch! Let’s all flex together!

If you haven’t looked at Garuda yet, it’s the system I switched to after Bazzite. It’s Arch based and user friendly.

I don’t get it. I have Garuda, which is Arch, and it was super easy to install. Maybe raw dogging Arch is harder?
