Keep in mind this is a statement by a manufacturer who’s trying to get his customers to sign long term contracts at current prices, so it’s in their interest to have people believe that the shortage continues.
Doesn’t mean it’s not possible, bit it should be read in that context
Often times when there was a big new update for GNOME, I’d try it out, decide I still don’t like the concept and go back to plasma.
I don’t get the appeal of that desktop. Even the tiniest changes need gnome-tweaks? Why isn’t that stuff part of the base settings? But ok. You can’t ungimp GNOME. The usage concept is baked into it. Fine. But why?
I mean there must be people who want this and nothing else, otherwise people wouldn’t use it.
These protections work at different layers and hence, you use both.
First off, you can’t really encrypt the first boot loader by design, your UEFI needs something it can read and run. You need to protect this first boot stage somehow, and this is what Secure Boot is for; it verifies the signature of the payload it starts to protect it against tampering.
I think once you’re at the level of caring about that stuff you’re no longer considered a newbie
Introducing the dummy thiccpad
I will roll into my grave
You’re not supposed to modify shipped unit files, that’s why systemd supports drop in snippets
resolved is entirely optional and disabled by default, I use it on case of non-mobile devices but leave it on laptops etc.
DNS resolution isn’t something exotic, it makes sense for systemd to implement it in a simple optional daemon
It’s Stockholm syndrome
I mean who doesn’t like putting mandatory quotes around all variables (though exceptions, like in [[ ... ]], apply)?
Or keywords like fi and esac or worrying about $IFS
I like it (am actually sponsoring) but I’m not sure development is still active. I hope the author finds the time and energy to work on it again it’s someone else picks it up
Almost nobody cares about these features for new shells. POSIX compatibility in my opinion is an anti-feature for interactive shells; for scripts, use the shell referenced in the shebang. There are even newer POSIX compatible shells like oil if you want one of these.
Or games for that matter
One should note that the stock is still up $50 per share up from its IPO price ($135 vs $185 or about 37%). Also the Cursor option was fully outlined before the IPO so it shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Not that I don’t think all of this is dumb, it’s just another hype / gambling stock without much substance led by Elon who got his Twitter buyout.
No crying in the casino
Two certain clowns, though for different reasons
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves
pacman is very fast and handy. The (in)famous pacman -Syu had you system completely up to date in record time.
Sometimes I miss its speed and simplicity
I think so too actually if you’re looking to learn the basics.
Arch has very little actual “distribution” in its system (mostly pacman and mkinitcpio) and the former is a glorified tar with a database, and while it can run scripts, you’re expected to configure and set up everyone yourself using the upstream tools, and these usually come vanilla
I daily drove it for 15 years before I switched so it’s not like Arch is insured for that. But if you want to learn the basics of modern Linux it’s a good choice
