You see, @hlehyaric, this is why when your convert to Linux this coming weekend, your choice of distro is super important. Pick the wrong one & all your hard work can be undone in a flash!

Btw...

[TbGbe]

@guigirl Nope.
That only happens when someone has a screenful of text to read through (and can't be bothered).

[guigirl]

@tbgbe But Shirley nobody could be that foolish... unless they run a YT channel...

Just be careful that you

1. Install O.S.
2. Perform any updates before doing anything else

A little knowledge .....

[hlehyaric]

@guigirl Yes, that's why I lean to Ubuntu Budgie instead of Ubuntu (Gnome)…

YMMD. Really.

@tbgbe I had to look what fix means in the dictionary, thanks

[DoctorG]

@guigirl Sound like this?

[guigirl]

@npro said in Arching Vivaldifarians.:

what fix means

I imagine that until then, you believed it probably meant fsck up.

You Mean Monster Distrobasher , easy, got it

[DoctorG]

Rumors say that dd really means Dalek Destruction.

[guigirl]

@doctorg Heeheehee. Hey, that's a pretty cool site, innit!

[DoctorG]

@guigirl Yeah, some sounds are more Muzak (background düdel music), instead of real music.

[guigirl]

@tbgbe Hey, looking at your sig...

...last week, were you getting bad fatigue & RSI with all those updates?

[guigirl]

@npro Yeah, i saw it yesterday morning, & went, aloud, "whoa, cool". Atm i am 2 hrs & 25 minutes into the 9th, & it's not come thru yet. I blame mutant star goats.

Oh, right ... it's still in Testing.

[TbGbe]

@guigirl At least I know I'm up to date

[npro]

@guigirl I was so looking forward for some big drama in reddit and everywhere containing angry mobs accusing "incompetent amateurs & idiots leaving everyone vulnerable for over a year, that's it, 🪛 U, I'm moving to Debian" and continue the bashing there, then I realised it wasn't about an expired certificate in some server like in MJ so it wasn't justified.

[guigirl]

@npro Whilst my posts on this have been slightly tongue in cheek, i was genuine in my sense of growing unease about what seems to be a pretty big potential security hole. Whilst atm nothing has materially improved, hearing from GC about his plan to sort this out, & also hopefully future-proof it, made me feel better.

I've used Fedora, dito oS, on-metal in my Tower [ie, not just in VMs], & for various reasons i really would prefer not to have to go back to either of them. But Arch really does need to get its act together re the toolchain.
