What we do every h day: try to take over the world. (Isn’t that question asked by pinky though? I haven’t actually seen the show but the quote gets thrown at me a lot.)
@sotolf@RL_Dane
I never saw it or knew more than that line, but when you mention world domination as much as I did, you get that quote explained to you pretty quickly. ;)
@sotolf@RL_Dane That’s how I think the government should deal with marriage, imo, based on registered partnerships or cohabitation for any benefits. This may be a hot take, but I see “marriage” as a religious thing, mostly, so it should be left up to individual religions to deal with it (or, I guess, to non religious organizations too?).
Basically I don’t think “marriage” is something that should be under the government’s control.
@sotolf@RL_Dane I like parts of it, but the flags drive me mad. Just give me subcommands, for goodness’ sake. 😂
It’s doesn’t really matter, I guess, it just feels like much more cognitive overhead to me that I’ve experienced with package managers like dnf or zypper.
@sotolf@benjaminhollon@RL_Dane I actually moved away from Debian/Mint in my main computer because I do prefer pacman (and aur) over apt. That's how I ended up with Manjaro for the last... 3? 4 years?
You mean the copycat distro that keeps DDoSing Aur, that can't even keep up with their website certificates, that keeps on shipping software in states that the dev begs them not to ship? that manjaro?
@RL_Dane@sotolf@benjaminhollon I do use JS, but it is not on my top list. But electron... err... Well, being paid well for that I would be ok, otherwise is a no.
@brunofontes@RL_Dane@sotolf I developed an electron app once. It was not a good experience, once initial development was over and I had to clean up tech debt and bugs.
@sotolf@benjaminhollon@RL_Dane hahahaha That one! But I don't use pamac (never used it as I don't like the idea) and I've thought a million times already of "migrating" it into an Arch distro. I do have a lot of customizations and things that I need to work, starting it from scrach would not be a good idea unless strictly necessary.
@sotolf@RL_Dane@benjaminhollon Is there a crazy migration way of doing it, the same way there is to migrate to Arch? Or is it necessary to do a reinstall?
@RL_Dane@sotolf@benjaminhollon Yeah, I don't think I will have time enought to setup everything again in one weekend or something like that. There are too many automated stuff and personal configurations, shortcuts etc etc. Chaging the package source would eventually do the trick, though. Not perfectly, but better than having to find all done, search for everything, remember to find all config files from services etc etc.
@sotolf
Part of it is growing frustration at frequent large updates when on a low-bandwidth connection here in Malaysia. Another part is that I don't need to be bleeding edge anymore now that firmware from my device has reached an LTS kernel.
@benjaminhollon@Anachron Debian's slower updates attracted me too, but after I switched to an older kernel (because of graphics problems), it felt like I was living on borrowed time. Plus I would hit bugs or missing features because of lagging behind. So it wasn't quite the sweet spot I'd imagined.
Now on arch, I occasionally hit bugs after a rolling upgrade, but, so far, these have been resolved in a couple of weeks after another rolling upgrade.
@benjaminhollon@Anachron I wonder how tricky it would be to set up dual-boot, e.g. arch plus void, so I could switch distros with an easy way to revert?
@underlap@Anachron
That's always how I do distro-changes: dual boot. I keep the old one around a while until I'm sure, then remove it and expand my partitions to fill the space.
@underlap@benjaminhollon@Anachron I have a laptop which dual boots (vanilla) Arch + Void like a dream. It's been like that for some years now, no hiccups. I just take into account that GRUB updates are done though Arch only in my setup, so if say there's a kernel update in Void, I won't see it unless GRUB is updated in my Arch partition. Is less confusing that it seems. ;)
@array@underlap@Anachron My efforts today to install Debian were not helped by the fact that this would be a triple boot between it, Fedora, and NixOS. ;)
@Anachron@benjaminhollon@underlap I have that setup in a spare machine, and it's nice having both distros there to check how they're going. ;) My main machine boots just one distro, of course (Ubuntu, because reasons). ;)
@benjaminhollon@underlap@Anachron From my own experience, Fedora doesn't seem to play too nice (if at all) with n>1 boot setups. Good you got there already. :)
Oh, there are images with the calamares installer? I think I'll go for that for my next try, I'm already familiar with the interface, and confusion over the default interface was causing me a lot of trouble when trying to partition manually.
Well, with Calamares everything installed. But when I enter my pass phrase to decrypt everything at boot, it just hangs and never does anything. Any ideas?
Run your live image, mount manually and then check if the parameters inside your boot are correct (for example, if you use LVM, check if its loaded properly).
@Anachron I think it’s due to an artifact of a past attempt; it was causing my fedora install to hang too. I still need to take the time to reboot and test if it works now though.
