Baptism by fire ¯\(ツ)/¯

All hail the wiki 🙌🏻

The fuckin timbs lmao

I don’t quite understand what you’re getting at here.

Are they even still around?

EndeavourOS represent! 🪐🚀 Much easier install plus some pretty sick wallpapers, all without being hostile to users like Windows is some proprietary operating systems.

Arch

I had to look that up to fully understand it.

It didn’t even occur to me that the recursive naming was a math or logic thing. I’m just happy to have freeware/copyleft/etc licensing because fuck corporations ¯\(ツ)/¯

This is why you give them paper towel tubes and old receipts.

The anarchist in me wants to agree with you but my brain is having a hard time parsing what you’re saying.

If you’re a “well acktchually” type of nerd who adores exceedingly granular control over things like choosing from twelve different versions of a driver via a command text box, then Arch is for you.

I say this as a user of an Arch-based OS; EndeavourOS is probably the closest to user-friendly as Arch gets but it still requires some nitty-gritty. Don’t worry too much about which choices you pick during installation though since it doesn’t really matter as much as it pretends to.

KDE Plasma is a desktop style close to that of windows that Arch usually defaults to, where Ubuntu’s typical desktop style is closer to Mac.

That said, once you get past the pain in the ass hurdle of figuring out your big basics in the command line, installing packages (programs/apps) is pretty easy. You can also use something called Flatpak which is like an App Store and usually easier for installing stuff.

This started out as a joke but turned into an essay. Thanks for bearing with me.

Oh god I’m so sorry. I haven’t willingly touched my Win11 boot in probably close to a year so I didn’t realize things were that bad.

I totally forgot about explorer just s****ing the bed randomly in 7 lmao.

XP was bloated to hell and back, and yeah 10 was okay overall but the “kiddie gloves” hostility towards users sucked, especially hiding away control panel and trying to get rid of it altogether in 11 is what pushed me to Linux.

This is the most 20s/living alone thing I’ve seen in a minute

As an EndeavourOS user I say yes. Make it like a fun custom name tag!
