I feel like I’ve been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

          Bossmang, I know that we’re paying more for RHEL licences than for the entire IT department, but if we switch to Arch we’ll cut down the costs significantly.

          Such distro, much hopping

            I am so happy that my parents didn’t buy me a better laptop a decade ago, so I was forced to use a shitty thinkpad laptop. After reading online, I figured out that Linux makes it faster…

            What’s your story? :)

            This is pretty cool. We really have moved over from Reddit, since we already have some of the niche communities. There are plenty of Linux users already, so it shouldn’t take long for people to start posting there.

        I guess there’s that beginner period when that should be allowed. I kind of wished it happened to me again, instead of daily driving boring Arch systems with no incentive to ever change.

          Yeah when you’re a beginner or when you get back into Linux you have like a grace period to reproduce a productive environment, then you’re worried about changing too much in case it all breaks and goes wrong

          Wait for Arch to slowly grind away at your sanity. One day you will realise that stability is pretty damn important, and the hopping will start once again.

          Nix stops you from hopping because it takes literal months to set everything up for a mortal.

          I did try it on a second drive and was to stupid to understand the like config file where you specify your packages

        There’s a lot to explore after arch. We have Gentoo, NixOS, image-based distros like Silverblue. Swappable immutable core through ublue, leading you to bluefin or bazzite. Your journey is far from over

          Nah i think it’s pretty over… I have tried gentoo, nixos image based distros and all that. Even lfs. I’m quite comfortable with arch
