EndeavourOS is more like an opinionated Arch install

Fellow EOS user and this is a hilarious yet accurate description. Still have vanilla arch but EOS on my laptop now since I tend to mess with it often.

Still waiting for LinusXI Pro Max.

Thank you! I’ll be back if I run into some trouble. :D

This. There’s archinstall now, too. A bit buggy in my experience so I prefer the old fashioned way.

I’ve never tried the extension pack, but I do have the guest additions. How do you install it?

You’re absolutely right, now that I think about it. My bad. But yeah, it makes more sense to upstream and make the features toggle-able.

Not all instance owners may want all those features implemented. Not the same but kind of like how Beehaw doesn’t allow downvotes while other lemmy instances do.

Dude was forced to buy Twitter because he couldn’t stop his big mouth. Seems he hasn’t learned. Lmao.

8-10 unskippable ads before a video? Holy shit. That’s ludicrous.

Great post. Imho, a fundamental thing we should not ignore is letting people know what they’re in for. I’ve seen some users glossing over the intricacies of the fediverse to get others to sign up. I understand their side, but imo that’s not a good way to have people come over. People should be educated enough of the pros and cons as much as possible, although that might mean some would get intimidated and refuse to join.

Clear policies will be very helpful in addressing that, i think.

Edit: just have to add that i haven’t opened the links yet and only read the whole post. Not at home so I’ll check them out later.

But at the same time, anything I don’t customise is pulled from the shared binary cache instead of being built locally

This sounds pretty good. Like Gentoo and Arch mixed depending on what you’re installing? Gonna read up more on it when I have time. I just scanned their website quickly and they did sound a lot like Gentoo.

Just a normal potato. i3-3120M and upgraded to 12gb ram. Next will be the SSD as it still has an HDD. Works pretty well for everyday use, although forget about gaming.

On recent hardware compiling everything from source doesn’t give that much a of a performance boost.

Agreed. The only reason I considered Gentoo is because my laptop is a potato.

Haven’t tried Nix OS yet, but yeah I can see the similarities in Gentoo and Arch. I think Gentoo with its compilation times is more of a headache (with better(?) rewards?). I think the last time I had to compile on Arch was for a kernel I wanted to try.

Thank you. This is what I was thinking of. Lemmy/kbin is great but idk how mature they are in terms of accessibility. I wish them luck.

How is lemmy in terms of accessibility? I hope it goes well for them.

Tails, it’s goatse.

Fuck. I didn’t have to be reminded of this. Lmao.

With stuff like push shift and way back machine

So much this. I don’t get why people don’t remember this first thing when it comes to data storage.

This is being naive. Don’t trust a server you don’t run yourself.
