But are the thigh high socks provided or must I purchase them separately?
deleted by creator
I really want one of those pairs, for my knees get cold in winters.
Guess I’ll install Arch for a freebie.
You’ll know you completed the installation successfully when you look down and see the socks have materialised
Installing Arch makes you a Femboy?
No no no, it’s just when you realize you always were.
It’s probably not mandatory, I imagine the arch wiki explains all the details
Fair point
TIL that unix socks are actually a parasitic lifeform, transmitted via arch isos.
That’s why I only use my socks by proxy
More of a symbiot than a parasite, it’s not like the host doesn’t benefit from them!
like jurassic park, life finds a way
Comouter scientists are now able to change gender as an evolutionary response to the lack of women in STEM fields
the socks are not mandatory, they are just given out in case anyone is chosen to be the new cutest girl in the office
i will warn you that if you ever start saying “mrrrp…nya :3” even as a joke, it WILL trigger the process to begin
…oh shit wait
Where do I buy that hat?
You gotta first find Carmen Sandiego to then become Carmen Sandiego.
I’m Mitsubishi
Become a Red Hat employee and you get one for free.
(genuinely, I know this sounds like a joke)
Local goodwill
I found a pair of moon boots there once.
That’s baller
If you wanted to truly punish them, install Debian Stable
Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.
“Punish”? See how they react when they boot into TempleOS.
Oh, only Linux? There’s always Hannah Montana or North Korea Linux…but that’d be giving a foreign dictatorship a botnet node…
In which case I was gonna say “Well an NSA-friendly OS would be funny” but then we’re just back to Windows!
What are you talking about? TempleOS isn’t a punishment, it’s a reward
The real hell would be gentoo
No way, at least Gentoo is up to date
not by the time it’s done compiling, it’s not
What about Linux from Scratch?
broken Nvidia Optimus free of charge
Afaik Nvidia Optimus works fine on arch if setup following the wiki. It’s mainly other distros that have Nvidia problems.
Exactly, while RTFM I haven’t have a single issue (apart from the driver quirks itself) and even automated the driver patching for NvFBC. Usual error is using nvidia-dkms and not setting up proper hook to rebuild the kernel module on kernel updates.
after i did such a harm to myself (installing arch), now i use windows 11
If you want the best of both worlds, go for EndeavourOS, an arch based distro.
Pretty chill GUI installer, only comes with the basic stuff and what you choose in the installer, like the desktop environment.
A few clicks and you have a functional arch install with everything setup.
The CLI installer was not a problem. The problem is complete lack of stability, inability to use software like AutoCAD, Inventor or CorelDRAW, and wasting hours of short life for configuration of things, about which you just do not need to think on Windows. Anyway, the least useless distro I found is MX Linux, but after few years with experimenting with Linux, I happily went back to Windows.

Fredom to what? To wasting time on configuration of every basic functionality of my computer?
I’ve messed around with Linux before but, I can’t seem to find the time to relearn how to get a thumb drive of an easy distro on one. One day I’ll get the thing working.
sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdaof courseYes I’m familiar with some of these letters
https://rufus.ie/en/ is your friend ;)
Thanks friend, for some reason I couldn’t find this when I was googling “boot Linux from thumb drive”. Much appreciated.
If you use ventoy, you can put multiple ISOs on one USB.
Ventoy is also my choice. You can just add .iso files on your usb disk and they are all bootable. Super easy
Burn that a.i. shit while youre at it
Fedora hat checks out
I thought we found Carmen Sandiego.
You mean that “Red Hat”?
Whatever that lady repellant is
As long as you install and setup a DE for me!
Does Carmen San Diego work there or something?
Its redhat, nyuk nyuk nyuk. https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux
Or maybe Carmen is a Linux user idk i just work here man.
Good work, gumshoe.
Ordinarily I would be fine with this. I use Arch anyway. But an Arch system configured by somebody else? I’d be safer leaving my laptop at home!
I think that’s the idea - I love how this is a double entendre for those that know…
What if I got Secure Boot with custom keys?
Hit all keys?
Well, of course, the longer it is unattended…
Only the any key
Where do I drop them off?
Unnaproved software installation implies an obligation to provide user support… indefinitely.
The hell it does.
You’ve spent too much time talking to my family.
It also requires that they migrate all of my files and ensure I have full functionality my software and games.
The arch installing bandit is anonymous. Noone knows how to reach him
I head cannon the arch installation bandit as a girl.
Why is it “head cannon” and not “head canon”? You got some kind of gun strapped to your head that you keep stories in?
Actually I think they mean that “as a girl” (meaning the commenter is a girl), they “head cannon” (meaning they use a cannon to shoot heads) “at the arch installation bandit”. I hope this annotated version helps!
I head cannon the arch installation bandit as a girl.
Quaffing the potion of gender stability, now in your female form you strap on the head cannon and fire it at the arch installation bandit.
The arch bandit takes 5d7 damage and collapses prone. Seeing their leader defeated, the subordinate installation bandits flee. You have reclaimed Installation Cathedral from the bandits and can now invite the Installation Medium to summon the spirits of past operating systems.
Lol this won the Fediverse today.
I head canon head cannons now
Is there an arch alternative for Yuki installs Gentoo?
wears a fedora, trenchcoat, and thigh high socks in the trans flag colors.
TIL Carmen Sandiago works in IT.
Like the guy that installed Windows on your machine without you asking…
That same guy started covertly encrypting users’ data and then the fucking keys stopped working. I’ll take zero support over that.
Just type yay in that black window with white text, at least if I would have set it up, not that I did, just if I would have, of course.
Why doesn’t Arch just put yay in the repo?
🤷🏻♀️
But endeavourOS does, it is even pre-installed, which is nice
Kinda wish someone would do this to me, because I’m never going to balls to do it myself
Recently wanted to try KDE 6 on my second laptop and after being pissed off at the lack of encryption with Void installer (gotta do it manually, have done it in the past but I’m lazy), another fail with NixOs (known bug with encryption in the latest stable installer) the easiest way was installing Arch lol.
I used archinstall as suggested, just answer questions, no manual voodoo incantation required. You can do it.
Btw Plasma 6 is glorious. First time Wayland “just works” without me noticing too.
The time you took to answer the archinstall questions and what would take to do them manually is (nearly) the same. The manual way is that you are forced learn the system (which does take time), and it’s thus more exact of what you want. Once you successfully boot a manual install on a bare hardware, you’ll get all the swag. ;)
(I was lazy last time I had to do a full install, and I prepared the system almost entirely in a VM, for which I used the physical disk I would finally boot it from. The final step was to
chroot’d into the nearly complete system and make it boot outside of the VM…)
distrobox create fakearch --image archIt’s super easy bro trust me bro just the tip bro
archinstall and wiki. Its easy if you’ve got nothing to prove.
