heaven forbid you go read about it. You’re weird, man. Takes all of 5 seconds to web search the distro and find what makes it different.

why do I need to explain it to you? I already said I like CachyOS and I want to try the server version. that’s it.

because I like cachyos and want to try their server version?

just realized that Marvel Comics did the same thing with Ms. Marvel in like the 70s or 80s but it wasn’t as “religious”.

that’s insulting. It’s one thing to try and be nice and send a genuine email to Dr. Pike thanking and acknowledging their outstanding contributions but to have your crappy LLM write the email?

Surprised Claude didn’t hallucinate the majority of this because it certainly hallucinates everything else on a daily basis. Boggles my mind how one LLM that used to be praised for coding assistance can turn into such garbage in the span of like a couple of months. You’re better off having your cat help you with coding than utilizing Claude or Claude Code at this point.

honestly if they do this I will slap it on my server. I love CachyOS, it’s a great and solid distro and by far the best Arch fork out there. I’ve never had issues with it and while sure the install is probably the longest out of all the distros I’ve used it’s still great. Very solid team behind it.

with some interactions I’ve seen from GNOME fanboys on mastodon…honestly wouldn’t put it past them. /s

shit I’m more likely to put a nuclear power plant on the moon guarded by state of the art Mobile Suits piloted by Jedi Knights than Russia is.

same. I have over 300 games in my steam library that i’ve bought over the years and the vast majority of which I never launched. So now i’m going through them. combine that with finally getting retroarch/libretro all PROPERLY set up I’ve also got a shit ton of roms from various consoles to play also, games I couldn’t afford as a kid.

Like right now I’m FINALLY playing Ocarina of Time for the first time ever and it’s a blast, now I understand why people love it so much. Also started playing New Vegas and System Shock on the PC which I’ve owned for years and never played and both those are great too. New Vegas is REALLY fun.

easily bypassed though. literally just refresh your browser a few times and it’ll stop asking you for 2FA.

There are quite a few great linux content creators on youtube. The Black Don, Tony (his tmux config is top notch), typecraft, Diinki, Vimjoyer (who pretty much taught me how to use NixOS completely), and Veronica Explains.

Although Veronica is unfortunately taking time off because of the comments she receives which really sucks as her videos remind me of old episodes of the Screen Savers and Call for Help.

Love her videos. she got me hooked on DWM and ST.

I don’t know a single person that uses MX Linux and yet it’s always at the top of the distrowatch list

Well they’re clearly not taking it all that seriously as it should be an Opt-IN feature, not an Opt-Out. They’re banking on a majority non tech savvy userbase to not even bother disabling it. fine, whatever, that’s on the user.

But it’s just more Firefox bloat that I have zero desire to deal with. If I wanted bloat in my browser I’d go use Vivaldi.

you don’t even need AI for that and can do it on your phone. Piefeed for example asks you when initially setting up an account “Hey do you want to see stuff about Trump, Musk, etc? no? cool we won’t show you that” and that’s it. works great.

been this way for decades or since like ever. I remember working at Best Buy in the early 00s and the primary shrink factor was internal theft not shoplifting. Hell the LP guy that stood in the front of the store with the yellow shirt spent more time watching employees than actual customers.

“stole” from a Metro. Good. in Canada all of THREE companies own ALL the grocery chains in the country. Metro being one of them. So I totally support this.

Also if you ever see someone stealing food from a Canadian owned grocery store, no you didn’t. and if you ever report ANYONE for stealing from a Metro or Loblaws or Sobeys or ANY of their subsidiaries then you’re a piece of shit.

same. I looked at the under $12 for example and I own most of it.

there’s nothing there that makes me want to pull out my wallet. MAYBE Jurassic World Evolution 2. maybe. I’m just not seeing anything that I really want.

regardless if you switch distros or not it’s good practice to backup stuff to either a personal server or even a private git repo.

I distro hop every so often, heck just did it lastnight, and what makes it easy for me is using borg which backs up daily to my server. It backups personal files, ssh stuff, and some dotfiles. I also do a push to my private forgejo before hopping and that will be configs and what have you so when I’m on a new distro it’s just a matter of cloning that private repo and then accessing a recent borg backup and i’m good to go. For Arch based distros I use something called DCLI which backs up a list of packages I have installed so I can pull that down and then merge it to my system and it automatically installs the packages I want. All of this allows me from once spending a couple hours setting up a system to now a few minutes. Doing all this makes distro hoping a non factor for me.

also other than Nintendo a serious lack of exclusives/zero console sellers.

the PS5 has what? maybe 15 exclusives? less? whats’ the point? There’s nothing out on the PS5 that makes me say “I need to own this console” especially when many of their “exclusives” are now available on PC. I just wish they gave us Bloodborne.

I’ve owned every Playstation console with the exception of the PS5. I even had the PSP and the Vita which I adored. but yeah the PS5 is the first playstation console where I’ve said I don’t need to own it.
