To be fair, tech companies can do whatever they want in the EU, No party would ever want to be responsible for WhatsApp, Windows, or ChatGPT not being available anymore.

Not just the US.

the mint gui package manager is ok

what's the deal with Arch/CLI/

737 ,

What's the deal with Arch/CLI/"complicated" linux distro hate? GUIs generally suck more than CLI/TUI tools. If Arch distributed an official GUI installer ISO, nobody would ever use it; the ISO would be huge compared to its current size and the archinstall TUI is the best installer I've come across so far. Just stop being afraid of the terminal.

Debian also doesn't come with a GUI package manager as far as I'm aware.

Also stop shilling Linux Mint to new users. Fedora, OpenSUSE TW, Debian, Ubuntu, and I'd even say Clear Linux are all more attractive operating systems to use for anyone who switches over. Cinnamon is just not as good as the alternatives and if you're not using Cinnamon, you might as well use Debian.

I do not want a distro with garbage pre installed, you have the choice to not use Arch, it is the "CLI choice."

There are a couple of issues with Mint, the biggest one by far, in my opinion, is the slow update schedule, anything more than 6 months really isn't usable for the desktop, this leads to a reliance on Flatpak and the inability to compile and use a lot of packages. The second biggest issue is Cinnamon, it's outdated, very restrictive, lacks a lot of important features, and is generally ugly (in my opinion of course) you can't even really change the default desktop since the others ones are extremely outdated in the repos. It's still ok to use but just not very compelling beyond it's similarities to Windows when compared to other distros.

I'd generally say that the non-immutable spins of Fedora are way nicer to use due to the larger repos and newer packages. You also don't really lose anything on Fedora that you'd get on Mint, you still have a GUI package manager and installer so even new users can use it intuitively.

it's not, GPL cannot be made proprietary

737 ,

really depends on what you call proprietary

I really like Arch in general, I'd use it without the AUR too. Pacman is great, the repos are nice and girthy, the install process is fast, no bloat. Why wouldn't you use Arch?

737 ,

it can still be faster than most other installers

737 ,

extremely, unfathomably slow updates.

737 ,

It's an issue with zypper, if you ever updated your device, you did encounter it. Maybe you have never seen how fast Arch updates are in comparison.

firefox sync misses half my settings

mod? meta? super? alt? crtl? AltGr?

737 ,

work at red hat or become fedora maintainer

737 ,

That's just going to return an error, you need the full

sudo rm -fr --no-preserve-root /

to tackle the root of the problem, France.

I've used Mint and, honestly, I don't like it. The default applications are kind of annoying to deal with, I find KDE and GNOME far superior. Themes are very limited. I just don't see why you'd want to use Cinnamon.

Stocks are not science, it's all a fugazi.

Windows XP solitaire was peak gaming.

Not possible, OpenFortress tried and is forced by Valve to keep it proprietary.

737 ,

Arch is not complicated to use, just archinstall and type sudo pacman -Syu into a terminal every few days.
Most issues can be fixed with the wiki, if it's not documented, ask on the forum.
Arch is probably the easiest desktop operating system to use, if you take the time to learn it.

use a swap file

explain it with all it's nuances in one sentence.

HiDPI is pretty good though, I'm running Fedora Workstation (GNOME) on a 4K 14" Thinkpad X1 Yoga with 2.5x scaling. Everything looks crisp except for a few applications like Audacity and Minecraft.

reject root partition mounting, embrace whatever happens without an fstab. :3

    Arch/Debian with DWL and Firefox should be a pleasant browsing experience with 4GB of RAM.

    Distrobox with Arch for proprietary apps?

    737 OP ,

    Maybe it's German time, since the organization managing the KDE project is based in Germany? So you'll have to wait somewhere between 15 minutes and 24h + 15min.

    737 OP ,

    no >:( everything kde is perfect

    737 OP ,

    It's out right now but still in Arch testing.

    A RULE SPY'S IN THE BASE?! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

    I searched up "Lemmy" on the PlayStore and noticed that Reddit appears right before the last lemmy client in that search X3 do u guys know if there r any other lemmy clients worth trying? I randomly felt like trying all I could find and for now I'll stay on Jerboa and the Web UI but I use Voyager too now, mainly for DMs...

    737 ,

    I use Voyager because it was the one with the latest update on F-Droid.
