My nvidia drivers used to break sometimes but I just switched to dkms drivers and I have had a stable experience for years. Only downside is the upgrade takes a bit longer.

I have replaced it and it just clipped in and out of a round little thing it sits in. I happened to have the right battery on hand.

I’ll make sure to replace the CMOS and use disk encryption next time. My sensitive data is encrypted separately so I’ll be fine for now. I thought that with a bios password someone couldn’t just boot from a USB on my system but clearly it only delays such actions by a minute or two.

You’re totally right, it only makes sense. Maybe my brain needs its battery replaced as well.

Thank you, that makes sense. I guess it was almost dead and now it is really dead. I don’t understand how that makes Linux freak out over the login password though.

There seem to be way more people that keep saying that they hate Arch users who keep saying that they use Arch than Arch users that keep saying that they use Arch.

Starting to feel like a boomer with st/dmenu on xorg.

less or bat, but I usually use by paging up and down so it’s not that different from more… My terminal emulator only pages up and down, I like it that way.

I understand the problem of “code it yourself”. But if they won’t code it themselves, and it ought to exist, who has to? Everything that is provided is provided for free and with love and passion. If something is lacking in that there are only a few options. Including code it yourself or pay someone to code it for you. The only reason you get anything at all is because of the “code it yourself” attitude of the people who developed the software in the first place, as well as their willingness to share it.

Yes, indeed. Even agreed! Joking i was, poking some fun. All in jest, even the emoji couldn’t put the overly serious answers to rest!

Debian users analyzing graphs in order to estimate when they can upgrade from really old software to slightly less old software 🤣

I like fucking around and finding out. I also don’t like roll backs, real men only roll forwards :)

(don’t take that too seriously please)

Artix because it is more Arch then Arch according to Arch’s own goals: “focuses on simplicity, minimalism, and code elegance”. There is no way systemd is more simple, minimal and elegant than its alternatives. I don’t think systemd is bad, but I do think it is a bad fit and Artix is what Arch should have been.

Unless you have a particular reason for sticking to POSIX, who cares? I’ll take the user experience improvement without worry.

I like fish abbreviations. They are like aliases but expand when you press space or enter. That way you can edit it, and also still see the full command so you are less likely to forget it when you don’t have your aliases. Of course I have some scripts as well.

I don’t, I didn’t do it back then and I ended up using this system for much longer than I thought I would(4+ years). I want to do it next time but I don’t feel like reinstalling just for that.

I always shut it down every night, so usually not much more than 12 hours at best.
