A mini PC with a USB IR receiver and whatever old remote you have to spare. It takes a bit of setup to map the remote with something like LIRC, but it works great once that’s done.

The Copilot integration they recently pushed to 11 says otherwise. They’re going hard on AI moving forward.
grml-zsh-config
is its name, and it’s always one of the first things I install on a fresh system. I’ll never understand why it isn’t the default.
Automating updates is generally frowned upon, that’s when things can break. But waiting to run updates until you feel like it (instead of daily) is totally fine. I’ve been using Arch and its forks for years, and have always updated once a week unless something was wrong.
The devs have stated otherwise. The project was originally announced on an Arch Linux forum, so they included a nod in the name.
It isn’t recommended, but dpkg will install it if you really want to. You just need to handle dependencies manually.
But it’s a pretty rare issue. If something isn’t available in the official repo, AUR probably has it.
If you’re comfortable, you’re fine. Anything more would just be to speed up the rebuild, so it’s less important if you don’t mind taking the time.
Only because I don’t want to be mistaken for a policeman.
You can, and it hurts about as much as you’d imagine it would.
It does, but it’s done me wrong a few times so I never recommend it. For all I know it’s fine these days, but old grudges are hard do shake.
For laptops, I’ve been using EndeavourOS lately. All of the Arch goodness, but with an easy installer that handles the DE too. It’s as close to “just works” as you can get while still having pacman + AUR at the end.
I still love raw Arch, but I leave that for server installs.
My daily driver right now is an old Lenovo Ideapad (50-70 I think) with EndeavourOS, I have a few other assorted Thinkpads and Ideapads running mainly EOS or Arch, and home servers running Arch. I use Arch btw.
The “backup” laptops are flexible though, I distro-hop on them fairly often. Older Lenovos are usually great for Linux compatibility.
Center-mount stands have been around for years, and were the standard for a very long time. If made well, they work for very large TVs.
They’re doing this to cheap out on manufacturing, nothing more. Don’t give them a pass for it.
EndeavourOS is it. It’s basically a better version of archinstall, especially if you’re planning to install a DE.
I don’t know about an hourglass specifically, but there are some options. Should be in system settings, applications, launch feedback and/or busy cursor.
Arch or EndeavourOS, depending on the machine’s purpose and my mood at install time. I prefer rolling release, and pacman + AUR is a lovely combination.
And for a bit of extra clarity, they’re only changing the default DE. EndeavourOS gives you several DE options during install, KDE will just be on top of the list now (and used on the live media)
Some of the apps can do that (Connect for one), but it isn’t a core Lemmy feature yet.
I’d call that a downgrade from CLI pacman and yay (AUR). They’re already simple to use.
It’s also free in the Bitwarden app if you self-host with Vaultwarden. It’s only a paid feature if you’re using their hosting, and seemingly only so they can dangle it as a “premium” benefit.
