Of course that’s a thing…
And non-ironically it’s really good, it’s like “easy to configure arch”.
…. For weebs
Never to late to become CIA_catboy :3
Meow! Let’s kill the Malaysian prime minister! …. I dunno feels a little forced
But Arch is easy to configure.
All I would be getting is the weeb bit, which, pardon me but, 🤮
Easy to configure for avg person, not normal Linux user I mean - I only know about it because my kid loves anime and it was funny to install on her laptop -
I dunno. I consider myself to be an "average person" lmao. I just happen to be able to read text and follow instructions. Anybody being able to bake simple cookies or boil pasta should be able to install and configure Arch Linux.
But if you're really into the weeb bit, like your kid, that's great lol.
No way my man! You are way above average! Celebrate yourself king/queen!
ngl, I guess reading text and following instructions really is above average these days, huh. 💀
You ain’t wrong buddy
Neither are you, cheers friend
Edit: I don't know wtf I meant with "neither are you", bruh I have a fever right now. What I meant is you seem nice.
Take care..!
Hehe, feel better!

If this happened in the fediverse it would immediately become one of the highest rated posts on lemmy.
I'll never reach those.

Arch Linux
Curious, what do you like about Slackware? I had a look at the web page and the post on the front page is from 2022. Is that really the kernel version that comes with Slackware now?
Is Slackware intended to be like an offline distro? Or am I misunderstanding how the release model works?
It's a distro that maximizes stability and KISS design. If you used it 20 years ago, you'll still feel at home today.
And it's so simple, it's basically just a selection of software and a number of bash scripts.
The release model is "whenever Patrick Volkerding decides it's ready".
Slackware looks dead at first glance. The last stable release took 5 years, the website isn't updated, all official online documentation is outdated.
But the people involved coordinate on linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/ , the Current branch is as active as Arch, and the up-to-date documentation comes in text files that are right in the directory where you need them on an installed Slackware system.
So like, you aren't using packages from 2022, then? Or, you are if you're on the stable branch? Am I getting close?
No, you're getting updates.
I'm on the Stable branch. My Firefox and Thunderbird from this branch are newer than the versions released as Flatpak, for example.
Huh, interesting.
Maybe I'll understand better if I try to install it in a VM or something. 😁
It worked well from that perspexrive. Remember that when it started, always-on connectivity rich enough to download hundreds of megabytes was a novelty, but you could get a Slackware CD that just worked.
So all the package versions really are locked to the Slackware version from 2022 then? Is that how it works? If so that's very... stable.
No, my Firefox and Thunderbird for example are newer versions than the Flatpaks.
In practice, Slackware doesn't have the manpower to fix version numbers and backport security fixes, so if there's a vulnerability or critical bug, they'll often pull a newer version from upstream and push it to the stable repo after testing it.
Slackware is the linux arch users wish they could maintain. I keep a machine with it installed. If you want to know how it all works then slackware is a good place to learn. Having said that It has a near vertical learning curve for new users.

Noo, now my environment is full of variables I don't need
bash -c '. /etc/os-release && echo $NAME'
Arrow needs to be blue and number needs to be 325 to apply here.
Always nice to see knitting needles being held the correct way in cartoons! It must be incredibly difficult for him to do with those claws, though.
He was kind of a Kim possible in his own way.
Double that if he is a vegan arch user.
