But then...

The other replies.

that'll be fun once the AI finds out how expensive the CEO is

I'd say, "inconclusive. it cuts off...", but, seems reasonable, at least plausible, given the faceplant.

... I might try that hence, should I return to something Arch based. :D

[–] Digit@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

At least Ubuntu are kind enough to offer a faceplant every 6 months like clockwork, to help get accustomed to it. ;3

As much as I have a side fetish for the likes of CRUX, KISS/Carbs [and suckless'ness, like sta.li, etc], out beyond my love of the likes of VoidLinux, Arch/Artix/etc, for their hands-on simplicity that keeps one in reach of manually installing software and building packages, but I really love gentoo's accoutrements for "building packages with your hands", not just marvelling at ebuild clarity, but also the likes of how it caters for patches and saved configs, and portage just carries on with it, as you want it, like a cool summer breeze... :) [/gentoo-fanboi mouth-froth. ... Started getting carried away again there].

Facebook user's would get what that is in the OP?

Huh.

It must have changed from when I would still hang around facebook users.

Windows taught me good to be a bit more cautious and curious

Doesn't it normally do the opposite for most people?

feel way safer than before. Like, I started to regularly seek new updates via yay, it’s something you don’t hear from a windows boy.

Yep, eager to upgrade, when it's not stuffed down your throat when you don't want.

Could be telling us all something important about freedom... ;D

That sounds about typical for what I imagined.

Thanks for the reply,

right in the middle of my imagined bell curve of answers.

Yeah, that is (or was) part of the gentoo fun. :3 Lots of that kind of fun around the python versioning. Figuring out what emerge's output means is sometimes 90% of the challenge, and other times if feels like that, but then it turns out to be only 10% of the challenge. But as for python versioning specifically, that may have very recently had a big uptick in getting slipstreamed through with fewer bumps in the road for users to deal with. Fingers crossed in hope, ~ remains to be seen through many future versions yet.

And there are official binhosts now, so it generally only compiles what you've changed the useflags for. Gentoo package management's as snappy as other distros now. Though still as involved as ever for configuring the system how you want (albeit with few more ways to make it bother you a little less often now).

yay -Syu, it sure is.

Or was. I stopped using artix when the AUR troubles upticked.

Hrmm... that gets me pondering about cron'ing up a cascade of strata fetching (and whatever configuration copying required if any), such that there'd always be fallback... then, conceivably, could have "auto-updates and no problems ever", and not even need worry about having adequate detection of problems to know when safe to proceed, as it would all just work, with something that just works still present, as bedrock strata. ... May seem a mite heavy handed, and very wasteful for hd space though. ... And no guarantees all that complexity on the back end (to confer simplicity on the front end) will stay "just work"ing, and not need problems mended. [edit... oh, and almost seems inevitable that some mirror layout change would break fetches too... so I guess it's not so near to full proof.]

<insert the deadpan stare, from every anarcho socialist whatever whoever who had ever critiqued this uneconomic paradigm, that sternly says in its glare "told you so">

 

Made this on a whim, while commenting on that other recent Arch related post... the tamagochi one.

It's been years since I actually used Arch. I hear much has changed (~ like it has an easy installer now?). Does it still itch to faceplant from time to time, needing rescue or abandon? Does Arch still faceplant itself?

How long have you managed to keep an arch going? How many times needing rescued back to being bootable in that duration?

[And would have posted this from that account, but that lemmy.wtf instance is tempramental, currently 504ing again. Glad I recently made this alt account so I can still post this and carry on with life.]
