My main reason to use arch is the exceptionnally complete and useful arch wiki. Though many pages are useful for other distros as well. With the archlinux and package install guides, it’s just a matter of time (and study!) until you know how to get around.

Poor grandma and grandpa… (totatally true though)

So communism and nazism gave birth to Palestine? Wtf!? I’m having a really big mental block…

That’s so cool! Now I’m ashamed of my boring wooden rectangle bases. 😅

But regarding the chinese government, I’m not sure we can call it communist anymore. Authoritarian, imperialist, oppressive and bellicose are more accurate qualifiers; mainly thanks to president Xi.

Most laptops will be more or less fully compatible with linux I think. Though a few niche features like finger print or key card readers might be a hassle to get working. To me, the most important thing is the keyboard since some manufacturers forgo the end of/start of line buttons, for instance.

True. I use Arch btw.

Was in the same position a few months ago. My only satisfaction was that I’d be able to open a union division in the company. I would have been able to better the working conditions of my colleagues (and mine!) while learning the work of a union representative. Sadly they fired me before I could do that. But now I found a paying job in a non-profit organization and I feel like a human being again!

Good enough, you’re hired!

My dream is to start a co-op bicycle shop/worshop once I finish my mechanic traineeship. But the other trainees don’t seem to share my vision, they only care about making lots of money…

True, there is some amount of gun violence glorification in the US. And it’s completely sane to be angry at your oppresors, but it needs to be channeled into something productive. Killing CEOs is just gonna make them pressure governments to increase repression with armed police and global surveillance. Violence begets violence, so it should only be used as a last result.

My point is, using the opportunity to open the debate on the complete despair of people oppressed by private healthcare is the way to go. Let’s just not make this about revenge on the rich CEOs involved. Removing their privilege is revenge enough.

Well, some people took it a bit too far. I get the message that health insurance companies are hell, but applauding murder… Are we better than them if we do that?

I’m not completely up to speed with the core principles of Arch, but I think it revolves around KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!). Meaning that Arch doesn’t hold your hand with nice GUIs. Instead, it tries to make the command line interface as easy to understand and use as possible. So if you run into a problem, you’re more likely to understand how to fix it, or at least what the root cause is. Which is not a given when you’re used to distros with more abstraction like Ubuntu. Then again, this design concept is not for everyone.

The install guide is not 50 pages-long, common!

My technique at the pub: focus on the sudoku of the daily newspaper until I’m drunk enough to engage in conversation and be unaffected by the chaos around me. Pros: pretty good for my social life Cons: pretty bad for my liver

True and, speaking of nuclear fusion, it’s a big if. Given the amount of “enough energy” needed.

Physics professor: That’s not true! You can make nuclear fusion with helium-3 which doesn’t make the reactor core radioactive over time. And I think that’s cool!

No need to shame people for their spelling. You never know, the person in question might not be a native english speaker or could have dislexia.

Isn’t that the definition of taxation and redistribution of wealth?
