I liked your bringing up how it is a ridiculous notion to say "here is an idea im planting in your head by sharing it with you. now you must never expand on it or share it with othes or do anything with it, for it belongs to me"

Fare enuf

But seriously, is this a new meme post 3 day no poop?

Ok, I've definitely missed something. Why is everyone on here now obsessed with beans?

I would need dkms installed to add the drivers no? But without an internet connection, there would be no way to get dkms other than a physical ethernet cable, which I don't have

Hey, I only just had the time to try this out. I edited it as you suggested, but I still get an error when I :so after writing the file. Also, I don't have any fd command, and I'm not aware of anything extra that I added to nvim called fd.

Why do you say that?

It depends on what chipset your wifi uses. If you have access to ethernet I would do that for the install, then test to see if wifi works. If it doesn't , having the ethernet will make finding drivers not included in the base install much easier.

As for other device drivers, it really depends on what you have. Mostly though other than wifi you should be fine.

A great resource is the arch wiki, and their installation guide is what I use every time.

I get the feeling you're a bit new, so maybe a good idea is to first try it out in a virtual machine, see how it goes, get comfortable with the process, play around with it without the fear of borking your system, etc...

Also, you're encouraged to ask question. Here is an example of a good sublem where you could ask Arch specific questions if that is the route you end up going: https://lemmy.ml/c/archlinux

It does, and depending on your workflow it might be easier. For example, I often need to be able to look at 2 tabs simultaneously, so I can just "pull" one of them out to make it a separate window and they automatically arrange themselves to each take up half the screen. That's a very specific example, but it's convenient for me. Other than that, yes, they work fine. My suggestion is to install the one you want to try out in parallel to your existing DE, so you can continue using your computer when you actually need to be productive, and work on ricing the TWM in your free time when you feel like tinkering. Eventually, you should reach a point where it is usable and actually preferableto use the TWM. Good luck :)

So just so I clear this up in my head. Do you mean if my user types myprog --version for example, the licensing information should appear there? What about non-programs, such as dotfiles (what I am trying to do) or CSS (themes for lemmy I recently got into doing)?

Or do you mean at the top of each file in my repository there should be some licensing information?

Thanks again for your patience
