A little while ago I observed a discussion between some GhostBSD user and some FreeBSD user and I genuinely couldn’t tell if they were being assholes to each other or if that’s just normal way to handle communication for them

Noice

It is not related to the meme, no.

We could and probably should but not everybody listens and sometimes that doesn’t affect just them

Tbh gatekeeping Arch by keeping an area of pestilent neckbeards around it is good actually. I mean there’s nothing hard or elite about Arch really but newbies should never be exposed to the AUR (see recent events) when they have no clue what they’re doing and the risks associated with AUR use.

An illegal site that you should totally never use as there you can find free movies, series, and other stuff to torrent

I’m a leftist on a leftist region of Italy so you’d think not that much but actually I am quite surrounded.

Of course, friends and immediate family are generally aligned with my views (at least on things that matter the most) so not much of an issue there, but outside of that there’s been a surge in fascists as of late, then there’s the “leftists” who are really just campists with whom I disagree with on very important topics like Ukraine and unfortunately they are very loud to the point the entire left, from the center-center-left of PD to the far far left are all either shy on the topic or openly pro-fascist ruzzians to cater to these campists (there’s only a couple exceptions among parties, among the actual people support for Ukraine is higher even among the left) but the worst people of all are probably the apoliticals that likely make up a majority of my generation around me. I have had more pleasant and productive conversations with some fascists or campist “leftists” than many of the apoliticals who actively refuse to engage in politics even when they directly affect them.

So I am not necessarily surrounded by people I fully disagree with on everything (the fascists are still a minority) but I definitely am somewhat surrounded by people who I strongly disagree with on very important topics still.

I use Arch (btw) so I half agree but Arch nowadays is a much more mainstream distro, especially thanks to its derivatives so some sort of security should be implemented on the AUR.

Arch elitists don’t want you to know this but you can just type archinstall and a text installer guide thingy will install the system for you based on what you tell it.

That said, you’re spot on on the last part. I love arch exactly because it is the easiest one to customize the way I want to but it’s not for everyone and not everyone should use it

Definitely not a good time to love the AUR rn tho

God I hate that crappy OS

That’s silly, you’re supposed to always carry it with you

Ok that’s almost definitely a user error. Has to be. Not even winslop is that bloated by default yet

We can comprehend it. We just don’t see why we should be the ones doing it instead of the few idiots who still measure things with their feet like a bunch of fetishist cavemen

Why would you use grams for gold (as you should) but then switch to pounds for copper. Are you a lunatic?

Let’s be real, there’s only ever gonne be one song that’s never gonna give us up, let us down or desert us.

TBF it’s likely the most popular because it’s the default not necessarily because it is better than KDE (or worse, they’re both good just aimed at different people)

It’s the most popular because it’s Ubuntu’s default which happens to still be the “default linux distro”. Many GNOME users probably don’t even know what GNOME or a DE in general is (and that’s ok).

If you ask linux nerds, however, KDE generally seems more popular but that’s probably because people who care about this sort of thing tend to value customization and KDE’s philosophy more than GNOME’s.

Source: I use KDE on Arch BTW, guess which category I fall on.

What kind of nasty are we talking about?

Sorry I ain’t taking socialism lessons from the same guy who thinks ruzzia is not an imperialist state, among other questionable takes.
