You’re welcome to your opinion ;)

Fair cop on the inconveniences, although I’ve found it fine after an adaption phase, coming from fedora it was lesser than hopping to a new distro. Hard agree on knowing the nuances being problematic, clarity and accessible education is sorely missing, certainly the steepest part of the learning curve.

I just run ‘distrobox upgrade -all’ in my Daily.service, didn’t need quadlets (although after adaption I quite like them for containers now).

Why would I use a system that isn’t supposed to change if I want to change it?

There’s a bunch of benefits, atomic updates, intrinsic rollback, security of immutability, safe automatic updating and it goes on. Some things are not quite ready yet, e.g. things like sddm which should probably install themes to /etc (which they’re working on), so as often happens in linux, workarounds ensue. Making one directory mutable does not destroy all the benefits.

Yeah, I had that at the beginning, then added to my fstab


<span style="color:#323232;">#enable sddm and therefore good themes
</span><span style="color:#323232;">/var/sddm /usr/share/sddm none rbind 0 0
</span><span style="color:#323232;">
</span>

and KDE themes with sddm components install fine now (most themes install fine into /home, does Gnome really not have per user themes?)

Essentially you can tactically make things mutable as needed, use sparingly, but maybe not even trying lessens your opinion, no?

and then it works, kludgy, but sddm is apparently working on allowing themes in /etc, sometime soon.

</span>

Fair.

If there’s a flatpak, no problem.

Once you realize you do package management in distroboxes rather than the main OS (rpm-ostree etc), no problem, plus you have the AUR at your disposal.

So Ima go not fair, although there is something of an education gap atm.

I was just colloquially referring to away from Earth as North.

Srsly, no-one going with the “it’s free real estate” meme.

Jokingly, but also really, seems a waste. I get they don’t want the overhead, but just boost it north, perhaps to a Lagrange, maybe just high orbit, but someone will come along to salvage eventually…

ETA: Also, one of the beauties of SpaceX is that Musk doesn’t muck with it (yet), working too well without him, unlike everything else he’s bollocksed up.

Be aware that halfway decent backup solutions dedupe. Which is not to say you shouldn’t clean your shit up. I vote github.com/qarmin/czkawka.

Seriously, U.S., get your shit together. This crap spills out all over the world thanks to cultural imperialism (Hollywood etc.), no beuno.

93, good trot. As a non US person, strangely Experiment IV by Kate Bush (Wilhelm Reich song) started playing, if it is synchronicity,I’m happy. Pass well baseball icon.

Either works, but system RAM is at least an order of magnitude slower, more play by mail than chat…
