- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

I want to (and previously tried it out for a bit) but the difficulty curve (more like a difficult brick wall) is hard to deal with
I want to switch to Nix... the idea of Nix is compelling. In practice every time I try and test it out I remember that I'm an idiot with a keyboard and I should stop.

I avoid it only because of its loudest user base.
I used to be like you, then I used Arch btw. Then I actually used fedora then I started reminiscing about Arch btw.
Your message makes me think i shouldnstart a new fork of Arch, and name it "Arch btw", and make it crappy.
It would break all the memes about arch
Youβre really going to settle on an os with imperfections? With arch, you could finally do what youβve been meaning to do without the constraints that othersβ small minded inefficiencies produce. Just think about it. An OS precisely to your liking. No compromises, just your apotheosis. Become what you were meant to be. (Mate btw)
Nothing like getting to screw up your computer your way! Ultimate customization* π
