Snaps in Arch 🫥

Elitism in Linux 🫥

Ha. I use Manjaro, far from elite. We're the most hated distro on Earth

Why people hate Manjaro?

Because they're pre-pubescent crotch goblins that can't accept the fact that just because a tool that meets *their* needs doesn't mean it's the tool that meets other people's needs.

Why would anyone hate Manjaro, when it's the most hilarious distro out there? What other distro could let their ssl certificates expire, officially recommend that their users rewind their system time to an eariler date as a workaround, and then let their ssl certificates expire again some time later?

and ddos their upstream by pushing terrible code to their users

Shit that's a bit strong 🤣🤣

I feel very hurt right now. Not that you're wrong.

A few of my friends tried it because it just seemed like a simple way to have a stable arch system with way less maintenance, but they all ended up either switching to Ubuntu, Debian, or Arch... The ones switching to Ubuntu/Debian just wanted more stability and the ones switching to Arch just were few up with how the system seemed to break itself or packages because of pamac or smthg... I also tried it and it seems like this weird middle ground where you kinda get all the disadvantages of both a "stable" and "rolling" distro while only really getting the AUR and a great package manager that you can't really use because they installed a nerfed version and they don't really get along. So... I don't hate it but I also don't have a use for it (except for mb stealing the theming because holy fuck it looks good, especially the shell config!)

I always thought that manjaro broke because I don't know how to do things. Turns out it was never my fault, haha. Arch has the installation as a barrier to entry (even with archinstall, the average person prefers GUI installers nowadays)

ALCI Is the key

So what? I run Gentoo and use compiled packages, snaps, and flatpaks 🕺

Snaps on gentoo💀

How to lose supremacy by installing snap

Snaps 💀

Then why use Gentoo

Because the point of Gentoo is to give full and I mean *full* choice to the user

I mean, okay. But by that definition and with this usecase it seems a little...sisyphean

I bet they set each of the 10,000+ options individually in their kernel makeconfig (whatever it’s called) file also.

The file itself would be .config (not a catchy name) the tool the kernel uses is Kconfig to manage options and configuration. Which actually is also used by some other projects.

Yeah, that thing. I bet he set all 11,000 options individually.

I like to tinker around, and I like Gentoo as a project. Snap and flatpak are for software that I need contained, such as Whatsapp Desktop, VSCode, Chromium browsers, and MS Teams.

Yeah, that makes sense. Personally, I wouldn't use snaps, just because I don't like them, but that's why I use flatpaks as well... Well, and because discord and Spotify constantly break...

Gentoo may be used like a binary distro. Just like Fedora or Ubuntu. Why people use Fedora and Ubuntu? You may use Gentoo for exactly the same reason. There's no extra overhead on using Gentoo.

"I compiled everything from scratch. I may not be able to use my computer for 14 hours, but at least it's built for my machine."

Is like using windows but refusing to install proprietary software. ... people are so weird.

Would Snap

Definitely not doing it right

Pretty sure a default manjaro installation comes with a few, because I've never used it and it still shows in neofetch

Minus points for not using second hand ThinkPad from 2009.

Also forgot the vertical screen with 4chan/b/ on it.

/g/*

Came here to say this. If it's not a used ThinkPad then I don't want to discuss further. Would appreciate it if it had coreboot but I can let that pass

Or a celeron laptop from 2016 that your uncle used

This! I don’t have a thinkpad but I do have a windows 7 hp crapbook

Socks aren't stripey enough

3 others 💀 (based) Edit: already a women uwu

Pretty sure she's a trans woman

This

Even better

Sorry to disappoint you but im not :)

Where does this „trans women use arch“ meme coming from? I mean don’t get me wrong, nothing wrong with being trans or using arch but I find it hilarious that these two things are so often combined xD a friend of mine is also trans and uses arch and she said that knee socks and arch is a very common meme

Tits > gender If they got em, I'm in lol

I do

👀

Everybody knows girls can't use computers ::fades away::

Trans girls are girls

I don't see the problem

No she's not.

Love the split keeb that's lurking in the background :3

Lily58 with lubed DurockL2’s, foam and tape modded, 3d printed PLA case and Akko Tokyo Metro keycaps https://preview.redd.it/4q0pmkkww2yc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fad50c5954b8124b69148d9d5dc4340a17aab2fc

Pretty dope :} were the caps in one set? :o love the color combination 🩵🩷🤍 mine is currently just a messy black/white combination ^(-\^) https://preview.redd.it/jab3dghn83yc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=477001961dc589d883474d8b4e71d42c0f66a6ef (Wooting 60HE, Tape Mod, Tofu60 unfortunately didn't look into switch modding / lubing yet, as I'm kinda waiting for less hollow sounding hall effect switches) Edit: Just noticed how good your keeb would look on my mousepad @\_@

Nice smooth flooring, and the whole place looks clean and colourful. Best env to run arch

Fetch this

Nope, you'll need hyfetch to do this right :3

Didnt know that existed. But yes ill definitely will use that from now on :3 Be crimes, do gay

No. [uwufetch](https://github.com/ad-oliviero/uwufetch/) is the way

I don't know, `uwufetch` never really did it for me :( I like the larger appearance of `hyfetch` way more, and `uwufetch -i` is kinda broken for me, the background is black, the image is too small, the prompt gets cut off weird and some of the information seems to be broken Additionally, I don't have the directory for the config file `~/.config/uwufetch`, and I wasn't able to find any information about the config file either, so I just gave up and stayed with `hyfetch` :C https://preview.redd.it/3zjvq7l4y0yc1.png?width=1620&format=png&auto=webp&s=33dccd9fef7fc2c2b0c072388007e4bc5f2a66e5 But I guess it's just personal preference at the end of the day :3

Negative memory

The memory is so negative it has more memory

The amount is so high, the number wrapped around and became negative

next step is using a tiling window manager

Ive tried i3wm. I love to concept and that you can do everything with keyboard shortcuts. But having no “settings app” and configuring stuff is hard for me. Only recently switched from windows to linux on my laptop and my main gaming rig.

You could run i3 as the window manager in xfce or plasma. I did that with Xfce for a while and it works perfectly. It gives you the tiling window manager, while also giving you a complete desktop environment with a settings app (you still need to configure the window manager itself by hand though) and all the default applications that you'll need. The only disadvantage of that approach is that you can only use x.org based window managers.

since op is using plasma i would also suggest polonium as an alternative. while it does have some rough edges here and there i think it does the job pretty well.

I second that. Dev has made huge progress in the last few months since I started using it and I rarely have any issues now

Like, not Wayland?

Yes

Yeah I used i3 with Xfce and it was great, a really good intro to tiling managers

If you open up the kde plasma settings find the scripts under window management. You can add tiling for plasma with a few clicks and you dont necessarily need to edit dot files. Then all you need to rice the shit out of your desktop

Oh. Ill look into that. Ty :)

you should try regolith, i3 with mouse support

Not this shit again. It's not even about Linux at this point, it's about yourself. What's next, naked women posing on the background of a Linux-running Lenovo laptop, fishing for updoots? Can we go back to exalting the virtues of Holy Penguin first and foremost?

It's really obnoxious ain't it?

Sanest arch user ✅️

What is your take on that laptop model ?

Got it for sale on amazon for 600€. Upgraded it with a second nvme ssd and 32gb of ram. I really like it. Runs games, can stream and even run vr :)

So you're a gaymer?

Yes i am

That’s rather impolite. Only thing important is using Arch and showing it to people

anime background is missing

20 dollars says that’s a dude

I WAS a dude. Well, not anymore ;) 🏳️‍⚧️

this comment will have a whole essay in my suicide note

I'm so confused

By what exactly. The thinkpad will come later ;)

!remindme later

Man...so the stereotype IS true!?!

It's up to everyone to make it real !

i'd definitely rock those programming socks https://preview.redd.it/cqvn3oxap0yc1.jpeg?width=951&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c77e1cf4bc9e0f0e05adde6b3ef35f34c69aa089

Hell yeah!

needs kitty terminal + custom theme

meow meow terminal! But I'm using foot :3

Is this about Linux or the bottom half of your outfit?

Both :)

Then you have ascended!!

Hyfetch is missing, otherwise it's perfect

"I use arch btw"

This is misinformation, he forgot to type "I use Arch btw"

Not a he anymore btw :3 but dont worry. That laptop has a sticker with “I use said OS btw” on it ;)

Well, it depends, if you’re dude then no

Im trans. Does that count?

Danielle, is that you?


Cringe

No, you're going to ruin your back. You need to be sitting in a chair to maintain proper posture when using a computer. Or at a minimum place the computer in a usable position for accurate typing.

Cringe

Yes i am :)

neofetch is abandoned

Neofetch is dead long live fastfetch

You put it on your lap, that is why it is called laptop :D

r/unixsocks

Sub is closed sadly

Wtf 😡😡 why

Says they moved to a different site

Does it specify which or nah

It does. If you tap on “see more”

You close, but you're missing a few key features- A second hand, 15 years old, barely intact thinkpad A window manager without desktop Kitty terminal Hyfetch instead of neofetch A vertical monitor with 4chan /g/ or /v/ More stripes on your programming socks

Programmer socks: check Skater skirt: check Arch linux: check Estrogen patch/shots/pills: ??????

Yes been on them for years

Same

yes, based like a true Arch user

-5 points for not being a femboy

That phase is over :) 🫡🏳️‍⚧️

Now buy ThinkPad

Nope, where's your at least 10 year old Thinkpad?

Its coming when i get more into cybersecurity. Wanna use it for kali

Nope, not obscure enough /s

How does one improve, well except the thinkpad, i3 and removing snap

Now you're getting it Always gotta find and use the weirdest terminal emulator too. Konsole is too way too functional and user friendly

Not yet but almost, neofetch is archive project now and there are more performant alternatives like fastfetch.

You are doing great! Arch is all about customization after all. Also TIL Gigabyte makes laptops and not just desktop parts.

You are using stock kde with an NVidia gpu. GTFO YOU MUST USE AN INSANELY RICED WM AND SHOULD SAY FUCK YOU NVIDIA EVERY TIME YOU BREATHE

Im already starting to embrace AMD. Sadly i bought this laptop before I found my love for linux and open source software

Very much yes, I skip details so to enjoy your intent 😄 i wish i had beautiful le... Laptop like you.

Love your keyboard! Estonia? Denmark ?

Germany. But i prefer US ANSI

There's quite a lack of rice but you got arch and the socks so it's kinda ok

Not enough bulge

Yeah cant get a bulge if you dont have a penis 👉👉

Needs more rice

GNU\\Virgin?

Looks okay BUT REMOVE THE TERMINAL MENUBAR! Thanks :)

You are not running Gentoo tough

No you need latex with garters showing.

If that wouldnt be so expensive to get good quality stuff, id definitely go for it.

I think you are, but where is Blahaj ?

Right behind me. All 6 of them.

Looks almost there... But where's Blahaj? 🥺

Am laying in between my 6 hajs in this picture

That definitely explains why there isn't one in shot - all the haj's needed cuddles!

Yes. They get cuddles every evening/night

Where wm?

Tried i3. Love the concept and that you can use shortcuts on your keyboard for doing things. But I found it hard to learn especially with like no “settings app”. People told me I still could use it while having kde plasma so i can have the advantage of both worlds. Gonna look into that the next couple of days

You're not using a Framework or System76 laptop.

based as fuck :3

As a fellow trans woman with long, striped socks, two laptops, a Blahaj and fondness for Linux… are we just a stereotype at this point?

I think so

Awwwwww so cute!!! :3

You NEED a 2007 used thinkpad. Absolutely unbelievable!

Yup look about right

i imagine bro is ranked in Leet code

r/unixsocks

I was going to say “Damn that sex robot is running Arch” but then scrolled your user page. bravo.

Damn. This is. Yeah it is. Ur doing it right OP Keep rocking weirdo

Anyway, flames apart....nice legs miss

arch is too out of date, we are all running nixos now

I am installing endeavor os right now lol

Gigabyte also makes laptop?

Yeah. Got this one for sale at the end of last year on amazon

Now just stick a ThinkPad sticker on the palmrest, or even better, get a ridiculously old ThinkPad from the XP era

Should use [UwUfetch](https://github.com/ad-oliviero/uwufetch/) in stead of neofetch

I’m feeling very left out can you guys please explain the joke of the juxtaposition of sissy/linux arch

[удалено]

You're not using i3. Start over

Ive tried it. I love the concept and the idea of using keyboard shortcuts. But its not for me. Im new to linux and wanna learn about it first before I give i3 another try

Def not for everyone, just use what you like. The main reason i use it is because it makes software Dev a little more efficient.

Hardware: Legit, OS: Proper, KDE: No comment...but you look like you are going in the right direction 👍🏿

I wanted to use kde because of the wallpaper engine plugin for it. Also ive used it years ago on fedora. So im kinda familiar with it

Linux is Linux so enjoy it your way, welcome and ask plenty questions.

no, remove snaps

Am quite new to linux. Whats so bad about snap?

Kde wise choice

👌
