Youre right for most systems that are advertised as stable. Arch however is rolling release, so this doesnt apply. You get package updates as soon as theyre available pretty much. So no, the fault lies with the user when it comes to arch 99% of the time

Edit: i also said the blame shifts to the user if they don't do something the maintainers specifically say you should do before every update. If you check the arch news, update, and it breaks then yes, the fault is with the maintainer. However this rarely happens nowadays. Ive been on arch for almost 6 years and have not had to do a reinstall ever.

It really sounds like a lot more effort than it actually is in reality, but as I said, use what you want :)

Arch in my opinion is for people who want to tinker with their system, and set everything up from scratch. If thats not what interests you then theres no point going through the process of installing everything and configuring every minute detail just to get to a usable system.

I disagree with a lot of other arch users who try to convince people to try arch, and i think its because as humans theres a part of us that wants to share/bring others into our "group", but I think in the long run thats bad for arch because it gives it a bad rep because its recommended to people it wasnt made for.

Personally because i like tinkering and having a fully custom system, im happy with it, and havent really had any issues with games or otherwise.

Whats the location of the moon when she tells you?

[-] promitheas@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

Oooh yea, i think ive heard of that

I agree with this, even though its a conflict inside me. On the one hand, hes a fascist idiot and lots will suffer while hes in power, on the other hand hes going to probably wake Europe up to what the USA really is

Ok, this is super interesting and a bit of a weird coincidence, because on the page you linked it mentions that they are also a community of the blind and it is really important to me to have my page be accessible to visually impaired people, and I already made some steps into making it screen-reader compatible. I still need feedback from them though because not being blind myself I cant be sure if what I used to test the screen-reading is actually what the blind community uses, nor if it would actually be useful for them!

Do they offer hosting and ssh access? If so, how can I go about setting all that up?

Edit: Looking at their donations page it seems that they may be partly linked to the USA which I want to avoid:

HOW DO I DONATE?

You can send cash (USD, YEN or EUR), cheque or a money order to:

SDF Public Access UNIX System
PO Box 17355
Seattle WA 98127

Even though their server is in Germany if they have any relation to the USA its a shame.

  1. Why use bottles rather than lutris? Whats their difference? Im asking because the one time I tried using bottles I dont think I managed to get it to work with whatever it was I was trying to install.
  2. Ive never heard of portproton, but it looks like it does essentially the same thing as if you install through the steam client as a non-steam game using proton (?). If thats the case, why use it over any of the other options?

Thanks

Eve online for me too. Ill be logging in in a few minutes 😃

As for the social aspect, even though im in one the big alliances, if i just dont feel like it on any particular night then theres no need to be social. I can do my own thing.

I'm almost done with my CS degree, I started learning programming at age 10, low-level software development like drivers and embedded really interests me and that's the direction I want to go in for a career, but I had to ask my friend who was studying with me to help me build my PC. Hardware just scares me. I'm worried ill bork something :3
