Except ~/.fonts isn't XDG Base Directory compliant. You should put them in ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/fonts instead so as to not pollute your home directory with dotfiles.
I mean I know the whooosh sub from reddit and you seem to be trying to say that op didn't get some joke, or why did you post that link under their comment?
And me with my wife.
She has no clue what a rolling release or a distro is, and she doesn't care, but she gets horny when I nerd out about something I'm enthusiastic about.
Lucky! My wife just browses Instagram on her phone , occasionally saying "uh huh," while I ramble on about my latest obsession like a toddler talking about seeing a garbage truck.
I just realized that's how my wife sees me after my son was explaining how a sink works for the 73rd time. My takeaway is I need to be more invested in what he's talking about no matter how boring, cause getting ignored when you're excited about something doesn't feel great.
The other takeaway is my wife isn't mean, I just talk a lot.
My wife is also an instagram addict. But I'm genuinely interested in what she sees in instagram, and she's genuinely interested in what I like. Cause...you know, we love each other.
To be fair, I am playing it up a bit. The reality is that she's an extreme introvert and needs alone time to decompress after work. We make it work - mostly by sharing memes with each other.
And I like updates that are actually tested on silicon before they're rolled out. Rolling distros don't do that. In that environment, YOU are the tester.
And You must be a fucking unemployed savant to be able to check every line of code being pushed to you daily.
Actually, I use Arch cause I'm too lazy for other distros (I've tried all the main ones).
The simplicity makes it much easier to automate the entire process.
I run my update.sh script before I install new packages, or when a news entry pops up in my terminal about a change requiring manual intervention.
So about once a month I type in update.sh, monitor the messages for 5 minutes and reboot.
Literally the only issue I had so far was a software from 2021 that didn't compile on the first try cause it expected an older version of Java.
Other than that, it's the least buggy distro I know.
So, your personal computer then? Just one instance?
Do you think that holds up when you are supporting a legacy environment of 200+ VMs and iron with code written by the cheapest consultants for 20+ years?
No, I use it on my personal computer as well as my server and that of my org, with a nextcloud, website and forum.
Do you think that holds up when you are supporting a legacy environment of 200+ VMs and iron with code written by the cheapest consultants for 20+ years?
No. I never claimed rolling release is right for every system.
::From the shadows, a ragged, scruffy, burnt out looking enterprise IT employee slowly emerges into the room. His button-up grid patterned shirt has a few buttons hanging on for dear life. His face lit only by flickering server lights and a crumpled cigarette smolder lazily hanging from his dry, crusty lips. His employee badge sways to and fro with each bedraggled rise and fall of his gaunt shoulders.::
"Oh, you like your rolling releases and your AURs and your 'cutting edge' software huh?"
::He takes another drag before blowing a stench into your face that can only be described as vaporized despair. He then drops the cigarette into his coffee with a hiss, swirls it a few times, and takes a long swig.::
"Do you think that holds up when you are supporting a legacy environment of 200+ VMs and iron with code written by the cheapest consultants for 20+ years?"
::His eyes narrow. The open source software enthusiasts who were moments ago happily discussing their personal computing experiences are stunned, unsure what to say.::
"...Because that is a very different experience."
::He turns and melds back into the server room from which he emerged, mumbling something that sounds like 'absolute fools' and 'don't even know about ESXI...'
Do yourself a favour and try opensuse tumbleweed. You won't regret it.
Also even on arch things doesn't break unless the user installs a whole lot of stuff from the AUR. Since there are flatpaks around most people can get their day to day apps working without relying on community repos.
So you feel comfortable doing that in a prod environment where you support 200+ linux boxes?
I mean IDGAF what you do on your local PC but a business environment is no place for rolling updates with the exception of the most egregious zero days, and STILL there needs to be on-silicon testing.
In a business environment with 200+ linux boxes, it doesn't matter which Linux distro you like best. Cause you're going to have to run a system with enterprise-level support and wide adoption to cover your ass and find employees who are familiar with it.
So that leaves Red Hat, Suse or Ubuntu as your only options.
When was this talk ever about a production environment??? Of course i wouldn't run fucking arch on a server or similar. But the benefits bof arch on my PC outweigh the disadvantages
I've never run Arch itself but have been super happy with Manjaro. They do the testing and batch up the updates for you. 6 months in on several different machines with no issues at all, honestly better than any Debian based desktop I've run.
Almost anything I've ever wanted has been in either the main repo or AUR, no more hassle with stale versions of this or that when I want to run some hot new software of the week. Everything just works.
However as mentioned elsewhere it's all Debian all the time for my servers, where stability is the name of the game.
My experience with Manjaro was okayish for a lot of things, but if I wanted to try some new software, it was a coin toss to see if it would compile or not, and I don't have the expertise to track down why something didn't compile. I got fed up with it recently when something I wanted to install...didn't compile. I went to the effort of backing up my computer, missed a few minor folders, and migrated to Mint.
Few years ago I installed arch and started furiously pacman -Syu'ing just to see how long it would take before some botched update would send me scrambling for a fix. Still waiting for it to happen. Any day now.
I would like to ask a question from the esteemed and rather cultured gentlemen/ladies in the chat: why do you think women don't like this sort of stuff? I thought they liked it when a man is passionate?
If we're going to take the meme literally, I tend to not like it when men try to explain something to me that I already know a lot about. It happens A LOT (especially with technical stuff), and it usually comes off as a condescending lesson rather than two people sharing a passion with each other in a conversation.
I installed a new font from the AUR just for this meme.
sploosh.
You know you can just download arbitrary ttf files to ~/.fonts
You don't need to install them system wide. That's where my Comic Sans and Gnommish fonts live
sploosh.
Except
~/.fontsisn't XDG Base Directory compliant. You should put them in${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/fontsinstead so as to not pollute your home directory with dotfiles.SPLOOSH!

Wait isn't the effect the same as both are hidden directories?
Using the spec makes it simpler to deal with backups.
True, I tried to customize a sddm theme and you need fonts installed likewise.

It is a community I created almost a year ago. It has my grammar mistake proudly displayed.
I mean I know the whooosh sub from reddit and you seem to be trying to say that op didn't get some joke, or why did you post that link under their comment?
I'm aroace. What SO?
not sure what that AUR thing is, but it sounds so hot omg 🫦
AUR is so hot right now.
Arch Linux user and their boyfriend - you can even choose who is who.
This…is not how it goes with my wife.
This is exactly how it goes between me and your wife!
Can confirm
I’m bi and we’re freaky. How you doin’?
Well then let me volunteer to be your wife. Guaranteed to work
We aren’t Mormon, but I’m sure we could work something out.
The fact that I've actually done this while talking to women makes me scream inside.
I did as well, she insisted Fedora is better, dodged a bullet there
I mean Fedora is better for most. Or maybe opensuse tumbleweed / slowroll.
Things should roll per package but people should decide how long every package should be tested.
This would cause unique systems for many though, so some distro versioning, having testing, tested and very well tested makes sense.
Fedora has this when creeping at the second latest release until EOL afaik.
Ok but what am I supposed to do if I'm both people in that experience???? Uhh checkmate liberal
I too advocate for checking your mates
Me with my gf
And me with my wife.
She has no clue what a rolling release or a distro is, and she doesn't care, but she gets horny when I nerd out about something I'm enthusiastic about.
Lucky! My wife just browses Instagram on her phone , occasionally saying "uh huh," while I ramble on about my latest obsession like a toddler talking about seeing a garbage truck.

The other takeaway is my wife isn't mean, I just talk a lot.
Same! She'll pay attention for a bit, but I realize I can be a bit relentless in my info-dumps.
It's not really luck.
My wife is also an instagram addict. But I'm genuinely interested in what she sees in instagram, and she's genuinely interested in what I like. Cause...you know, we love each other.
To be fair, I am playing it up a bit. The reality is that she's an extreme introvert and needs alone time to decompress after work. We make it work - mostly by sharing memes with each other.
Get out of here with your healthy relationship!
Wow stays in the same room as you? All I get is the back of her head as she walks away.
Actually my gf is talking about stuff while im mostly horny because i just am
Me with my virtual girlfriend (ChatGPT)
ChatGPT sucks. Try NovelAI. I have so many gfs in it as well with my irl 1
Shut the fuck up dude, it's the only LLM with end to end encryption, making it popular will end that like it did for AIDungeon.
GPTirlfriend?
It's so sad fatass Rathalos died of ligma
What's Rathalos
Rathalos nutz lol gottem
Yeah, ligma anti-air shot from my corn cob gunlance!
(That's the rest of the joke right?)
What's ligma?
ligma barrel bombs
I'm sad there's no tumbleweed emoji
I think this ∞ is close enough.
It must do but I'm still waiting for my tumbleweed emoji
It excites my wife because there's still good money to be had in high tech. Once we devs are fully replaced by AI, the horny will end.
Me explaining to my girlfriend (the voices in my head) about the brilliant magic of source-based packaging with binary cache
Tumble me weeds!!
I'm not saying this exact scenario happens, but sapiosexuals are absolutely a thing.
Hello, allow me to introduce myself. 👋
So your GF is in favor of uncontrollable security issues and massive user scrambling to fix whatever your update fucked up on a daily basis?
There's a reason updates are batched, this is so fuckdamn shortsighted.
Yes. And I like to be the one doing that on my system.
And I like updates that are actually tested on silicon before they're rolled out. Rolling distros don't do that. In that environment, YOU are the tester.
And You must be a fucking unemployed savant to be able to check every line of code being pushed to you daily.
I get this feeling from a lot of the posters here.
Actually, I use Arch cause I'm too lazy for other distros (I've tried all the main ones).

So, your personal computer then? Just one instance?
Do you think that holds up when you are supporting a legacy environment of 200+ VMs and iron with code written by the cheapest consultants for 20+ years?
Because that is a very different experience.
No shit that's a different experience, who in this thread is suggesting running fucking Arch on their server farm? Lmao
I'm almost positive that even archlinux.org is hosted on Red Hat servers.
No, I use it on my personal computer as well as my server and that of my org, with a nextcloud, website and forum.
No. I never claimed rolling release is right for every system.

That's not my experience with Arch at all, it kinda just works nowadays
I've never run Arch itself but have been super happy with Manjaro. They do the testing and batch up the updates for you. 6 months in on several different machines with no issues at all, honestly better than any Debian based desktop I've run.

Any statement about what women like in general is wrong!
Women are 50% of all humans, there isn't anything they all like or dislike.
Oh yeah? Then explain "Mama Mia! Here We Go Again"
Agreed
If we're going to take the meme literally, I tend to not like it when men try to explain something to me that I already know a lot about. It happens A LOT (especially with technical stuff), and it usually comes off as a condescending lesson rather than two people sharing a passion with each other in a conversation.
Do they do this when they know that you know?
They like it when a man they're already attracted to is passionate, at least that's my theory
Well yes that's true
If only
Both
YES
Keep your eye on what's important.
Point one, you feel like a fuckin hacker... Point two, profit
You mean immutable
no, I don't.
Yes you do.
Your opinion seems to be immutable.
But I'm not rolling over.
I use Arch linux btw
