  • As someone who’s installed arch manually back in the day way before archinstall was a thing I tend to agree. Putting together your own install and seeing how everything fits together, to me, is the point of arch. If anything breaks I know what too lol at since I put it together myself and now how it goes together.

    However sometimes we might need to reflect on gatekeeping and just because “back in my day we didn’t have a fancy script to help you” we might still let people use it for their first install (or let them use a arch based distro to get started)



  • Well as someone who’s been using gnome since about 3.10 I might be able to explain my view:
    Before that I’ve used plasma and Unity and a whole lot of Mate but then I started using Gnome for a pretty and smooth experience right out of the Box.
    Now I’ve simply been using it for so long that it’s muscle memory all the way.
    I don’t agree with everything the gnome devs decide and I definitely am annoyed that I have to use extension for small things that should just be a toogle in the settings but I’ve realized some time ago that if I did switch to plasma I would use all the customizability to make it work like Gnome … so I stay on Gnome.

















  • Well … My go-to is still Hbomberguy. Eben if I don’t know/care about the topic I know every vid of bis will be interesting and worth the time investment. The jokes are really funny (even on rewatches) and I’ve learned a lot. I watch old Hbomb videos to Fall asleep to almost every night.

    Main issue: there’s one video every 1-2 years … However if you’ve never seen one you’ll have the back log to get through.
