That’s basically it. Some Arch users are genuinely just picky about what they want on their system and desire to make their setup as minimal as possible. However, a lot of people who make it their personality just get a superiority complex over having something that’s less accessible to the average user.
A mathematical law is very different from a theorem. A law is something that is fundamentally accepted to be true but it cannot be proven. A theorem can be proven to be true (or false) using the laws of mathematics.
English was not engineered from the ground up to be sensible and consistent. Instead it evolved slowly over time, as new things got tacked on year after year, and other things died out or drifted in pronunciation.
Here’s what Middle English sounded like:
“Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote, The droghte of March hath perced to the roote, And bathed every veyne in swich licóur Of which vertú engendred is the flour.”
Unless both products had the same amount of sales and generates the same amount of revenue, the lowest seller with the lowest margin would be cut.
If there’s a replacement product somewhere it might be brought in and the cycle would start again OR the shelf space of the “winner” would increase to take over the now empty spot if the products were shelved in the same set.
Am I missing something? How can I make using Arch Linux my personality when once it’s set up it’s just like any other computer?
IMO there’s nothing about Arch, or any other distro, that makes it worth using, beyond whatever goals you have. If Arch helps you accomplish that goals, great. If not, pick a different distro that does.
In my case, I want to use the latest version of software and use my own configs without inadvertently breaking stuff, based on some arbitrary set of assumptions that distros like Ubuntu or Fedora have made about how their own distro should be used, and Arch has been the easiest way to do that for me.
Whatever your goals for the story, shape its components to better present them. What’s the love part got to do with the rest of the story? Figure that out and adjust accordingly.
I’m trying out Arch on my laptop atm, and tbh the only real advantage (at least for me) is that the packages tend to be a lot fresher than on Debian-based distros. The question is how many of your letters you really need to be that fresh.
I think a lot of Arch users feel like wizards because they connected to the home wifi using the command line, but if you’ve tinkered with (/broken then had to fix lol) other distros, you will have done all this stuff before
When zathura (my beloved) isn’t feature-rich enough for my needs I usually turn to okular. Sure, it’s kde, so if you’re on a pure gnome system you’re going to have to install a bunch of dependencies, but if that’s not a problem for you, okular is quite good in my experience!
Sure, that’s extremely fair! Those qt dependencies are no joke! How do you feel about Evince (apparently now called gnome document viewer)? It seems to be the standard gtk pdf viewer, but I’ve never used it, so I actually don’t know what it’s features are like. It’s a heavier application than mupdf (of course), but at least you don’t need to install qt to use it!
Yeah, after importing contacts back and forth between my android phone and Thunderbird I’m in the same boat. Trying to avoid manually selecting the 400 or so duplicates to delete them… The duplicates aren’t visibly listed in my phone’s app but when I export a .vcf file from it and open it in Thunderbird or Gnome Contacts they are. I’m surprised that my desktop apps don’t have something inbuilt to deal with this.
I tried to do this manually on my phone, but no chance. The contacts randomly split or merge, then another telegram account pops up, the next contact is protected and therefore cannot be removed but only be hidden. Some contacts are not on DEVICE, so messaging apps cannot access them etc.
If you find a solution to sanitize vcfs let me know. I guess one day I write all the numbers onto a piece of paper and start from scratch.
Btw. I’m not sure if this community is the best place for this.
i2p and Tor are really slow + the amount of people who use them are small compared to the clearnet and also a lot of those websites have ads on their website which would not work on i2p or Tor , so it does not make any sense to host it there.
