Delays base packages so AUR ones break

DDOS AUR

Based on what, distrowatch? You do realise that’s just showing what people clicked on distrowatch, not the actual numbers of users…

And what improvements could come from incompetent fucks knowing your hostname, mac adress, and other identifying information? Aside from improving their financial status that is…

Is it enshitification if it was shit all along?

I mean, it’s not like he’s going to say “I’ve got a few mil in redhat stocks, and they signed a new $800+ mil deal with the DoD 2 months ago, so we’ve got to clean house”

Though even if they weren’t, it is the morally correct thing to do to give Russian state actors the boot.

Meanwhile Linus is fine with supporting USA DOD and making a profit from it. Funny how morality changes when you introduce other interests… It’s a purely business move and has nothing to do with ethics.

Depends on what you do.

If you’re just browsing, and doing casual stuff, it’s not really noticeable. It’s perfect for the less technically oriented because nothing changes for years.

I’ve been using MX for about a year now, but I definitely wouldn’t have without flatpak and nix. I need packages that aren’t years out of date, so they’re all installed through nix home-manager.

The benefit of this combo is that while user packages might break, the system itself will be predictable for the next few years. That means no new bugs, but also that minor issues won’t be solved.

I dislike that it takes way too long to boot

1. Use the Daemon, it starts a new client in a fraction of a second
2. Improve your config and it’ll start in under a second anyways

Emacs had some “premade IDE” project I recall that I tried and wasn’t that enthusiastic about.

Doom Emacs, spacemacs, etc.

And there are plenty of nvim “distros” like that (lazyvim for example).

They make getting started pretty easy. I’ve been using Doom for years and never bothered to make a full config of my own.

Is there a better way of starting the emacs daemon?

I just use the DE/WM autostart functionality

AI is quite fit for the task of understanding

Sure, and parrots are amazing at spotting fallacies like cherry picking…

Having everything in a single file is not really a problem.

Having extremely outdated info on topics like below is a major issue though.

One cannot have bookmarks, or refer to page numbers.

Huh?

Icy peepee

Or

Inb4 it becomes/is a subsidiary of the NSO group…

Zerowriter Ink should get up to a week of battery life

ESP strikes again…

1. Meaning there’s no obvious glowing button to upgrade, like on every stable distro I’ve used. By realising fedora got a new release 2 months ago, asking why the hell am I still on the previous one, and going to the homepage.
2. How is needing to run arbitrary code you copy-pasted less hassle?
3. Your opinion on it doesn’t matter, completely axing the previous default without a transitional period is neither hassle-free nor inspiring confidence. Also, that config was anything but minimalist…

It’s the only distro I’ve dropped because the upgrade was

1. Hidden and I had to accidentally open its homepage to find out
2. Instructions came with lines you needed to execute before first upgrading
3. Completely dropped gnome, and removed all previous customisation

Worst upgrade experience ever…

Hell no, Emacs and nvim UX is far superior. I won’t ever go back to clicking.
