why exactly do you prefer run0?

with sudo I can allow certain actions I do myself (e. g. system upgrade or change timezone) to proceed without a password, but require a password for everything else. this is important because some scripts elevate privileges via sudo. if I allowed all sudo without password I might be ruined byone badly written script…

save 80gb for root, sone swap (if not on an ssd) rest for /home. that way reinstalling or switching has minimal risk of losing my /home

i use arch. I’ve got it set up and it works really well for me. I’d only switch if I had some feature I needed in atomic that I can’t have in arch. (not just a feature atomic has, but a feature I need that atomic has)

how much air conditioning do you have? if you take public transport, is it air-conditioned?

what has red had done that makes you say the law is meaningless to them?

lol. i wonder who is paying for this?

thank you. I’ve been burnt by the lock screen bug and happy to see it fixed

lol. so I guess fedora is pushing flatpacks now? I know Ubuntu was pushing snap, so I guess fedora followed suite with a different standard. yay.

thankfully arch isn’t getting into this nonsense

it also means don’t risk everything you have for a somewhat opaque promise of something better

honestly the distro doesn’t matter so much as long as the hardware i supported. run a minimal desktop, disable CPU hogs and file indexing etc.

I used fvwm on Debian for many years on old computers. worked great. now I have kde/plasma on arch. my 10 year old laptop handles it fine…

hilarious. tx for sharing. updating to include the latest OS airlines tht constantly push ads or ai would be nice

lol ditto. but the first thing I do on new installs is chsh /bin/zsh, replace caps lock with control and enable vi keys. otherwise I’m dysfunctional

I use arch, btw

you should especially do this on Friday 5:00pm in production, right before going on an international vacation with bad Internet.

i used to use zfs for backups via snapshots. but I find using rsync and hard links is much more convenient. i can use standard tools to look through backups and track which files changed if needed.

why do you want to make the switch?

just leave them. i thought I would miss some of my communities. but I don’t at all… and the toxic right wing propaganda doesn’t make the front page ever.

api changes breaking my ad free client (reddit is fun) got me to leave. never going back

for instance alpine has a small footprint. its designed for containers … but I think it has a DE as well

oh lol. been there done that. finally learnt it’s never worth your time to try and change someone’s beliefs.
