Good, maybe in two or three more years Windows 11 will be useable. Right on time for Windows 12 to roll out and drag Microsoft users back to the Stone Age again.

That’s pretty much it. Systemd goes against the philosophy of “do one thing, and do it well” by doing a whole lot of things and being integrated to an extent that makes it pretty much impossible to use only an arbitrary subset of its components while replacing the rest with alternatives. I understand where the critics are coming from, but I honestly don’t care either way.
Should cars be required by law not to let you drive to drug deals? Should glasses be required by law not to let you read banned books? Should testicles be required by law not to produce government-unsanctioned sperm?
What are you talking about? I can still access my files just fine.
We know because of our alarm clocks, duh!
Terrorists and authoritarian governments are each others’ greatest allies even though both pretend otherwise. Each one uses the other to endear itself to the people and justify atrocities that they would otherwise never get away with, all in the name of protecting you from the other one.
I’m not. The Sun isn’t real, it’s just something The Church made up to control the sheeple.
Wouldn’t it be possible to create some kind of “post-browser” that takes input from the web browser and displays it after passing it through ad blockers and whatever else?
Lemmy has undercover ads now?
I’d make a shortlist of phones based on price and hardware, then check the XDA forums to see which of the models on that list have good AOSP-based custom ROMs available. Generally, you’ll have better luck with flagship models, but there are custom ROMs available for many, many smartphones - some even get updates for longer than the official firmware.
Another option is to use adb
to uninstall bloat and crapware from the official images, which can be done with varying success depending on the phone’s make and model. For example, I have a Samsung Galaxy A53 and was able to uninstall or disable most of the several useless or redundant apps it came with, but several I could not get rid of without breaking needed functionality (that shouldn’t depend on them, but does for some obscure and probably illegal reason).
There are so many games out there and my waitlist has already grown so long that I feel no problem in completely ignoring any game that has Denuvo. Odds are it’d be so long before I got around to it that the hype would be gone anyway.
This comment reads like a deconstructionist modern art piece.
I know that my personal case is only one data point, but I currently manage one EndeavourOS system and one Arch Linux system and except for hardware-specific issues and things I only tried to do in one machine and not the other, I have only ever had identical problems in both. And few of those, too. EndeavourOS… endeavours… (sorry) to be as faithful to the original Arch installation process as possible, except automated and optionally also installing a graphical environment.
I use Fira Code. It looks great and I really like the programming ligatures.
I agree. The average user can’t be expected to read all of the documentation, but when you run into a problem, odds are you aren’t the first. So instead of immediately going to ask for help, maybe Google the issue for a while, at least skim the man page or try fixing it yourself before asking.
And ask well. There’s a huge difference between “I have problem X with package Y. I tried solution Z and it didn’t work. Here is some information I think could be relevant. Thanks.” and “HELP program Y isn’t worknig I dunno what to do???”.
Hell doesn’t have as much music.
I second this comment, though I’d like to point out that the Arch community isn’t as toxic as people make it seem. Yes, there are a few very problematic people who think you should read the entire source code for every package possibly involved in your problem before asking for help, but there are a lot of helpful people too. They just have low tolerance for help vampires.
These worlds being Hell and Disney.
Any Arch-based distro because of the rolling release model, the excellent pacman package manager and the AUR.
Especially EndeavourOS. It’s Arch Linux with a Calamares installer. Not that the Arch Linux setup process is hard, but it’s a pain. I did it once and never again. EndeavourOS uses the Arch repos plus its own tiny repo with stuff like the Welcome screen, some themes and yay, so it’s pretty much Arch with different branding.
