1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility.

    But are the thigh high socks provided or must I purchase them separately?

    [โ€“] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago (4 children)

    You'll know you completed the installation successfully when you look down and see the socks have materialised

    [โ€“] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    TIL that unix socks are actually a parasitic lifeform, transmitted via arch isos.

    [โ€“] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 11 months ago

    More of a symbiot than a parasite, it's not like the host doesn't benefit from them!

    [โ€“] bitwaba@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

    That's why I only use my socks by proxy

    Ordinarily I would be fine with this. I use Arch anyway. But an Arch system configured by somebody else? I'd be safer leaving my laptop at home!

    [โ€“] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

    I think that's the idea - I love how this is a double entendre for those that know....

    [โ€“] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

    If a laptop is left unattended long enough to do a fresh Arch install, it's probably been abandoned anyway.

    Unnaproved software installation implies an obligation to provide user support... indefinitely.

    [โ€“] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    The arch installing bandit is anonymous. Noone knows how to reach him

    [โ€“] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Like the guy that installed Windows on your machine without you asking...

    [โ€“] rtxn@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

    That same guy started covertly encrypting users' data and then the fucking keys stopped working. I'll take zero support over that.

    [โ€“] wazzupdog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    I head cannon the arch installation bandit as a girl.

    [โ€“] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Why is it "head cannon" and not "head canon"? You got some kind of gun strapped to your head that you keep stories in?

    [โ€“] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

    Actually I think they mean that "as a girl" (meaning the commenter is a girl), they "head cannon" (meaning they use a cannon to shoot heads) "at the arch installation bandit". I hope this annotated version helps!

    I have a friend that has one of these.

    [โ€“] Evil_incarnate@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

    I saw one on the parcel shelf of a car in the carpark at IKEA once...

    [โ€“] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

    Easy. Buy a new laptop, let them upgrade from wโ€ขndows to arch, then dump arch for something like MX or whatever else I use in the future. Then I wouldn't have to touch the default wโ€ขndows installation forced into me.

    Look, windows is bad, but we should reserve asterisks for actually bad things that require censoring in all circumstances, such as Br*t*sh or *ng*l*sh.

    [โ€“] twei@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 11 months ago

    Not to be confused with the "๐Ÿคฎ" Emoji, which is reserved for the word "fr๐Ÿคฎnch"

    [โ€“] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Using two asterisks makes things italic. You can only use one

    [โ€“] dumbass@leminal.space 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

    Just drop a \ in front of the first * and you're all good.

    [โ€“] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 1 points 11 months ago

    What if I got Secure Boot with custom keys?

    [โ€“] suction@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

    Fedora hat checks out

    [โ€“] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 0 points 11 months ago (2 children)

    Kinda wish someone would do this to me, because I'm never going to balls to do it myself

    [โ€“] MiltownClowns@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

    archinstall and wiki. Its easy if you've got nothing to prove.

    [โ€“] pipes@sh.itjust.works 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Recently wanted to try KDE 6 on my second laptop and after being pissed off at the lack of encryption with Void installer (gotta do it manually, have done it in the past but I'm lazy), another fail with NixOs (known bug with encryption in the latest stable installer) the easiest way was installing Arch lol.

    I used archinstall as suggested, just answer questions, no manual voodoo incantation required. You can do it.

    [โ€“] pipes@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

    Btw Plasma 6 is glorious. First time Wayland "just works" without me noticing too.

    broken Nvidia Optimus free of charge

    [โ€“] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

    Afaik Nvidia Optimus works fine on arch if setup following the wiki. It's mainly other distros that have Nvidia problems.

    [โ€“] FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    I've messed around with Linux before but, I can't seem to find the time to relearn how to get a thumb drive of an easy distro on one. One day I'll get the thing working.
