Your opinion about Arch is outdated at best. I run Arch, and I don’t think I needed to do any tinkering in the last few months. For first time Arch users, I’ll recommend them to just use EndeavourOS. I have it on my laptop, and it’s basically Arch, but with a hassle free installation process.

I’m fortunate to have a great family, but I do see the point. My ex’s family was a piece of work.

I’m fine with using pacman in general, but always forget how to uninstall an app completely. So I set the alias yeet for that. Since then, I’ve also set it on different systems like dnf.

Thank you for your service.

Only in US. In many (most?) countries, credit cards do have PINs.

What credit card company? That seems like such blatant fraud.

Once my friend put total in place of tips. He was very drunk that day. He went over next day to talk to them and they obviously fixed it. That seems like common sense to me.

Totally valid reason lol

I sometimes am. I just don’t feel like talking about it.

Different distros are better at different things. Need a stable distro for your grandma? Use Debian or Mint. Need latest software? Use Arch or Gentoo. (And people do need latest software sometimes. For playing games, or in my case, for doing research. The F is FOSS stands for Free after all.) Similarly, there are server distros like AlmaLinux tuned for high reliability. I think it’s counterproductive to argue about the “best” distro.

I guess the meme technically doesn’t say that Mint is the best, but it kinda gives off that feeling by ridiculing Arch users.

Brother printers are great. Probably the only decent printer brand for home usage. My university has free printing, and those are Canon printers. They seem to work fine, so I guess the commercial market is a little different.

Weirdly, my parents have this Samsung M2020W printer, and I gotta say, it’s pretty neat. Takes any off-brand toner cartridge. They only need a cartridge every year or so. It’s been 3+ years, but no problem so far. That might be an exceptional case, though.

Use suda.vim for automatically dealing with such cases. Works with neovim as well.

I’ll also recommend adding the following to your init.lua or some config file because suda doesn’t play nicely with nvim -d or vimdiff.

<span style="font-style:italic;color:#969896;">-- Disable Suda in diff views
</span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">if not</span><span style="color:#323232;"> vim.api.nvim_win_get_option(</span><span style="color:#0086b3;">0</span><span style="color:#323232;">, </span><span style="color:#183691;">'diff'</span><span style="color:#323232;">) </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">then
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    vim.g.suda_smart_edit </span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">= </span><span style="color:#0086b3;">1
</span><span style="font-weight:bold;color:#a71d5d;">end
</span>

The vimscript version of the same would be:

<span style="color:#323232;">" Disable Suda in diff views
</span><span style="color:#323232;">if ! &diff
</span><span style="color:#323232;">    let g:suda_smart_edit = 1
</span><span style="color:#323232;">endif
</span>

My first distro was Xubuntu. It was 2014-15. I was still in high school. My pc was getting old, and I read online that Linux can make your pc run faster. Since it wasn’t my gaming machine, I decided to give it a try. I also read online that Xubuntu is among the lightest of distros, so decided to install that. It really was a night and day difference in performance.

I’ve switched distros a few times (Xubuntu -> Ubuntu Gnome -> Manjaro KDE -> EndeavourOS KDE, also run AlmaLinux on a few headless server machines) since then, but never went back to Windows ever again.

I currently use Wiki.js but it’s a bit too much. The image size is around 500MB. I don’t see why I need such a huge program for hosting essentially text files and some images.

From the comments, DokuWiki with a modern theme, Fossil-SCM, and MkDocs seem nice. I’ll probably try some of these during the weekend.

Also, you don’t actually need to share your own data to be vulnerable. Some stupid relative sharing their genetic information is enough to have some ideas about you. I’m fortunate that it’s hasn’t caught on in my home country.

I ended up setting up UltiSnips and using the snippet given in the issue.

Yeah, no idea. EOS is much better in every single way.

I think the more interesting thing is that a moving object will keep moving at constant speed unless a force is applied to it.
