    Actually the Arch penguins jump happily on their own

    [–] Pirasp@lemmy.world 45 points 2 years ago (2 children)

    And then they go on to fight the predators to make it safe for the rest

    [–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 17 points 2 years ago

    And they send maps that the others can use.

    The documentary host went on:

    After hearing about their "totally riced" setup for hours, the exhausted predator dies a painless death in the icy waters. A mercy the breedable Rust peers of the Arch user, drunk on their freshly claimed victory, will not share. Already displaying socks as part of their mating ritual, no baby-faced creature that knows its way around a terminal is safe. They are not taken by force however. Rather they freeze, smitten by the confidence the incredibly annoying apex predator radiates. Feeling used, but also strangely satisfied, the confused ~~boy~~ is left wondering why they aren't using Arch, when Wiki and the AUR are so incredibly useful. Maybe it's that symbiosis that keeps them together: Curiosity, Fear and the common Arch user's incredible displays of power.

    Arch? That's so 2020. With NixOS you can just rollback if you make a mistake.

    I use NixOS BTW.

    [–] HuntressHimbo@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    NixOS ended up disappointing me a fair bit. I just tried it recently and the KDE support seems very rough so far, or at least I couldn't find good answers to how to configure it and theme it.

    [–] vox@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

    kde theming is pretty much independent of your distro tho?

    [–] HuntressHimbo@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    One of the main draw of NixOs is the reproducibility of builds, meaning that redoing the build will provide the exact same output each time, so Nix encourages you to make configuration changes through the package manager. I've mostly overcome my theming woes with home-manager now, but this comment was speaking to a little wrinkle I had when I was trying to learn and take advantage of the OS's features as best I could.

    [–] takeda@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

    Home manager is the way to do it though.

    The main configuration handles configuration of the system, home manager project was created to bring similar functionality for the user home directory. That's where the name comes from.

    Home manager also works great when using Nix on other systems to manage for files, for example on OS X.

    NixOS would be top and bottom, and the Orca, alltogether?

    [–] Black616Angel@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

    Please don't post reddit links.

    I can never look at them, since they apparently block mullvad.

    Hannah Montana users be up in the Everest.

    [–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

    Why mess with perfection?

    [–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

    I'm glad they got the order right. I feel like gentoo should be piloting a nuclear submarine targeting the Orca though.

    It Broke far to many times, I used Arch Linux for about 5 years or longer, systemd fixed a lot of stuff, and some of the other changes, but i needed a more production stable system.

    I use ZFS Bootmenu with Debian Stable+flatpak and some backports these days and so for i only broke my system once.

    [–] marcos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

    Oh, I thought there was some large change on the distro.

    I can relate. I've kept to the top of the hill for decades already.

    [–] nUbee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

    Maybe things have changed since I've last tried it (10 years or so), but I thought Fedora Rawhide was at the most bleeding edge of experimental packages.

    Sid users are just future arch users but without time for a clean reinstall.

    [–] jbk@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
    [–] Unyieldingly@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

    Flatpak will have the newest Mesa and Nvidia Drivers, etc, Flatpak is almost like having a rolling release.

    [–] poinck@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
    [–] Chobbes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

    I think it’s flatpak?

    [–] lseif@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)
    [–] poinck@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

    Uuh, so close to the water <_<

    [–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

    As an Arch user you just push other Arch users in. It's kinda how as a Windows user you set that checkbox that says smth like "update me ASAP" on other people's windows install, so they get used as bugtesting sheep instead of you.

    Also I use Garuda and they setup snapshots for me as I don't know how any of that works.
