  • btrfs unless I know I'm not gonna use it that much (might check out bcachefs soon)
  • Kitty as the terminal, life is better without fancy multiplexers
  • Firefox
  • fastfetch > neofetch
  • zsh without oh-my-zsh
  • tbsm as DM (if available)
  • Hyprland as the WM
  • Plasma if I have to use a DE
  • ~~Swapfile instead of partition so I don't risk losing my data if I don't have enough memory (haven't checked out ZRAM yet)~~ Welp that changed quickly, ZRAM looks insane
  • GRUB as bootloader, also a separate install for every distro, kinda just out of fear that I'll break it somehow

Good commercial support

That's the advertisement part that I skipped because it doesn't fit so well, the users need to hear about the good product before becoming a user.

Valve is one of the few big companies that still knows money comes from users and users come from a good product

IMO:

  • Arch Wiki
  • Gentoo Wiki
  • Your distro's wiki
  • Your DE/WM's wiki
  • Documentation, bug tracker, etc. of things that you use on a regular basis
  • Some people's who use similar things to you dotfiles

You can get vscodium-bin-marketplace from the AUR to get the VSCode marketplace in VSCodium.

OH wait I misread as to Fedora

My current solution to prevent getting a virus is to:

  1. Go to archlinux.org
  2. Download the ISO and follow the install instructions
  3. Check suspicious-looking files on virustotal

Takes a few hours to initially set everything up, but has the added benefit of not using a shit operating system.

You know pacman has parallel download support right? I'm pretty sure it's at 3 by default.

If the platform doesn't support transparency, I'm not using it!

We need documentation standards on the level of OpenBSD

"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux.

The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows was compiled With gcc, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even you were correct, you wont be for long."

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.
