I use Arch (btw), I break my own stuff whenever I want, keep up Microsoft.

Secretly in love with AUR and a masochist.

At least on Arch you can reasonably fix it yourself.

Filesystem snapshots are the best thing since sliced bread.

I feel like a time traveller with timeshift.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Timeshift, to a dedicated partition, is the first thing I install and configure if not installed by default by the distro

😂I don’t do snapshots, I just have important files in my nextcloud server managed by my friend, who does snapshots 🤭

Nix generations in my case

I am confused but my daily driver Arch install has had zero issues since installing it.
What am I doing wrong?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Do you always tell people that you use it? If not that may be what you are doing wrong

[–] yonder 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe you correctly follow documentation and best practices.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Where we are going there is no documentation.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

But, there is a wiki

So, you want to use AUR whenever possible by adding -git to every package that you want to install, also mess with your python install by mixing pip and AUR packages, don't forget to install your nvidia beta drivers.

🤔🤭 I see, that is why my endeavourOS never broke yet 😃

Always use precompiled, no time to compile myself 😂 never used pip ever and used nvidia-inst to install the nvidia driver 😇
