I'm too lazy to maintain an Arch install, so it's Mint for me. Long live Mint unironically.

Arch maintenance: 0. Install it once. (The proper way)

  1. Every 2 weeks minimum pacman -Syu
  2. Every 3 months merge/update configs in /etc.

I don't get what is with this so hard? Yes, configs can be undecipherable but 90% time the merge involves just deleting the .pacnew versions.

On EndavourOS here, I spent hours upon install tinkering and setting everything like I wanted and forgot most of what I did ever since.

I'm so lazy I use a one word alias to update all my stuff in one go. I rarely have to bother myself reading and checking if everything's fine (I still do it from time to time just to be safe but I do it less and less because it's almost useless).. I even update a bit late sometimes and quite randomly in general.

It's been almost 4 years like this now, nothing ever broke, had an issue with an Aur only once..never even had to tinker with anything.

I remember having harder times with Ubuntu or Manjaro like a decade ago..even had freaking issues with Mint, it's crazy.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
