So that’s which its called pacman

duh… it’s a [pac]kage [man]ager. Why else would it be called that?



I use endeavourOS because of auto installed yogurt (I am lazy)

sry, but I’m lactose intolerant. So I guess, another win for CachyOS.


is yogurt still developed? I thought it was dead a long time ago and everyone went to yay

It’s been yay on endeavours for its entire existence I think.

Install arch the arch way once or twice. After that use endeavouros because I don’t need to spend the time.

spend the time? on what? archinstall and go

everyone that things arch is a major time investment is ignorant

I mean that’s just your choice of software installer at this point.

Endeavoros just has a GUI and installs KDE for me.

The end result for us is nearly the same thing.




But yay is just yet another yoghurt…

I see what you did there




Hi fellow EOS user, this is my first time hearing about computer yogurt.

Yea, because it is yet another



my EOS shipped with yay

Yes, because it is yet another yoghurt




ILoveCandy

echo “Defaults insults” | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers.d/custom.conf

Defaults badpass_message="YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"




I can’t believe nobody else has pointed out…. BRO when you set ILoveCandy also SET

color

make that shit legit. I use arch, as you can tell, btw

It is set but GIFs simply hate colors.

256 color limit is a harsh mistress


Instead of using a video format as a modern replacement, can’t we just invent a better Gif format? Gif is somwhere inbetween picture and video formats. Maybe a simple container with a meta & settings file (speed & so on), similiar to comicbook?

Well there’s APNG (animated png). It’s even “backwards” compatible with the regular PNG file format.


video but with a “loops”, “has controls visible” and “remove audio” setting

so it doesn’t even have to be part of the video format, just muted mp4 or webm with looping and UI settings






I use mint because I’m too old and impatient for the more setup-heavy stuff.


I have an old laptop which I use to install various distros and play around with them. One time I tried to install arch. Like the very first step was to manually configure the network interface using some cli in some weird unknown shell environment provided by the installer. That sat there at that step untouched for a day or two, then I installed some other distro.

Uhhh
That’s
That has not been my experience with Arch for maybe a decade





I use Cachy for the same reason :P


c –> C

C c o would be better

[—–C o o o o o o o o o o o o o ]




Love the playfulness and the name itself…but I’m lazy and apt is shorter and quicker to type. I’m torn…

There’s ‘yay’ which is a Pacman helper. And honestly I love typing it because it makes me happy


alias lzy="pacman -Syu"

or install yay and you don’t even have to sudo (it still asks but you dont have to type it)


-yuS is easier to remember

/withdraws slowly



Apt is shorter, sure, but apt update && apt install … is much longer than pacman -S … so you should definitely switch

/jk

I am toyimg with the idea to switch my Thinkpad over to a new distro…so maybe I will ;)




Yeah thats kinda my problem with arch…. ive never found it easy to use or useful. Every actual usecase other than it being “cool” is filled by distros much more adapted. Actually want a system from scratch? Gentoo. Want to make it deployable and dependable? Nixos. Want something rock stable? Debian. Arch never had any appeal for me(focus on me here).

I like it because im new to linux and it is VERY well documented. Ive learned more in the last year than the last 20 on windows

Edit: also v lightweight. I dont mind doing a little extra work to know what my pc is doing

Yeah the documentation is just amazing. Even on nixos i often use the arch wiki to find things cause a lot of it applies to linux generally.

Yeah but the nixos Wiki is growing.

You could write down your findings in it.

I suggest to use the official one.

wiki.nixos.org




You want little bit of the ability to customize everything without having to compile from scratch every time? You want a well documented system that has excellent documentation and a community that digs into most edge cases? You want upstream fixes ASAP because your team of volunteers are struggling to backport fixes?

It has its place. I’m saying this as someone who uses Debian and red hat derivatives extensively.

To me slow roll, tumbleweed and fedora were good contenders for the same slot but none of them let you completely fuck around with the design like Arch does.

Yeah i get that, but also it has some huuuge problems. A very large part of arch users rely on the aur which is horrible from a security standpoint and in general for usability. If arch made its package distribution better it would be a really solid distro with a lot of merits. Of course if you get arround the package management woes its a good system to use. As for nix you dont actually re-build your system every time you change something cause you also do that technically when you boot, tho not in the sense of building software from source, it just links everything so its accessible.

I think it’s sort of a big problem to solve because there’s no corporate backing or down stream derivatives contributing a lot back, making a fully curated repo hard to achieve. I wouldn’t mind a fully vetted AUR either but I don’t think the community can get there with the current resources.

Nix honestly sounds really awesome. When I tried it long, it kept on running into edge cases for things that weren’t really working well like properitery drivers or old ass packages that needed a lot of workarounds. It sounds like it would be amazing on a server/vm.




arch is a little bit of each of those things



Wait is that pacman? Had it always done that?

Its a config option. Add ILoveCandy in the options.

That’s revolutionary, I need to switch back to arch in this case

What are you on now?

Probably meth, if they are thinking of switching back to arch.

Or estrogen… But then, maybe they’d go for something like Gentoo…



Fedora, my beloved


And why did you switch? Id love to know :3

Hmmm I don’t remember the specifics but I think some parts of the system broke on me and I didn’t have the patience to fix it. So I switched and have been very happy thus far running Fedora KDE.






oh does that work with yay?

i always run yay -Syu to keep my AUR packages synced too




First post made here using a grapheneOS phone.



I usually use yay but I do appreciate the whimsy in pacman

Yay uses pacman for the official repositories, so you can still use this setting if you want




Kial ne ambaŭ?

It’s Esperanto for “Why not both?”

kial ri tie ĉi esperanton parolus

Oh no, Sxan speaks English. They just use the wonderful letter thorn þ instead of th most of the time.


I couldn’t remember þe correct way to write þe Spanish meme version, “¿Por qué no los dos?”.
