I will say the only thing more convenient for most people is that it’s preinstalled on the computer they bought at a big box store. If that changed it would make a world of difference.

Steam machines madre the same mistake the 3DO made I’m glad they recovered and something very good camel out of it.
the problem is food cost is more often than not the least expensive cost of a restaurant. especially a fast food restaurant. So giving you a large Fri vs small. is so small for them it’s not even noticeable from their cost. their loss comes from two things the sizes and price difference are only their to get you to buy the one with the beter profit margin. small and medium are only there to make you feel like you got value from buying the large. it cost more for the card stock Fri container than it does for the Fries.
yes I was
that’s why I hope the game-like genre naming really takes off that means I can just play the original and skip the rest
the default is pipewire now so you may need to install the alsa pipewire module
honestly the biggest problem with the media is. Linux represents the very thing corporate culture in those media empires just can’t fathom. the idea of cooperation for the greater good that Linux represents and not being 100% profit motivated. They just don’t get it and worse they see it as a threat. Microsoft can be a competitor to them but the idea of open source is a competitor to the whole system and that is a far greater threat to the people on top.
yep by no means are they perfect but they are not hostile and that’s fine by me.
they always leave off that registry change gets reverted on the next update and it’s now a new change you have to do to turn off the new ad showing up. I also don’t need to change my country location to uninstall a built in browser. Also do you think the registry is just something everyone knows how to use. It’s cryptic as hell and I know they are following a guide on some site. At least when i change a config file there are comments above the change most of the time not cryptic dword codes.
I agree but with timeshift im able to be back up and running in 5 mins tops so I take more risks.
honestly I think it’s 95% there and would get that last 4% if you could go to a retail store and just buy one. the perception would be enough to get hardware and software vendors to start supporting it in a very short time. kinda like how cyberpunk has a steam deck present.
Would it be over night? No but real change is never quick. Perception has to change before the change happens. Why do you think MS and other Software vendors pays so much money to PC manufacturers to stay on Windows.
Remember with a windows PC purchase and bloatware. You’re a customer and a product, your desktop is a billboard. So it’s against their interest to give you agency in what OS you use.
The logic I always subscribe to is, issues in Linux can be fixed maybe not by you or me but someone at some point in the future. On a long enough timeline we win. Where as it’s not an issue with Windows, but a business decision to annoy you and thus can never be fixed.
if you have zram enabled why do you have a swap partion on your ssd at all?
How much ram do you have?
hmm okay thanks I will check those out maybe that is the missing piece.
so paru is the equivalent to apt-build install
but unlike Debian the Repo is outside the distribution.
i think I’m getting it thank you while I have no interest in leaving debian but this will be fun in distrobox.
but can you search the AUR from the CLI or or do you still need to git clone then pacmac build with the package buildID?
yeah I get dependency resolution from apt build-dep in Debian but like what commands do you use to build a package with the AUR. From what I read it’s
search the AUR website git clone tar xf pag.tar makepkg -csi packagename
am I missing something or is there an easier way that I am just not seeing?
i promise I’m not trolling I really want to learn.
ah good point even then it still has to be set up. so the search for it has to take place regardless be it in software center or activities search.
I use timeshift on all my debian installs am I missing something in your comment?
I have to say I dont get the AUR I have been using Debian for the past 20 years and have tried Arch based out on my steam deck and in Distrobox on my sid gaming PC and I just don’t get it.
I hear all these great things about the AUR but when I tried it. It didn’t seem to be that much easier than building a Deb pkg or doing a make install from source. the way I hear people talk about it I figured it was just like installing from a source Repo on Debian.
please note I’m not saying anything bad about Arch I personally love the arch wiki it’s great to even fix things in Debian. I just personally don’t get it. maybe I’m not using it right or distobox does not give me the full experience. Any idea what I’m doing wrong?
You could buy box copies of the original suse Linux that had manuals in the box the size of a TI graphing calculator manual.
Once you got X working everything else was cake by comparison.
