Have you thought about keeping your coomerism in your pants a little better? Seems like a more worthwhile time investment to work on that than on Linux IMO.

If we look at the big contributors to Linux, it's coomers all the way down. Betonhaus is just trying to step up his game.
If you aren't willing to crank it in the living room, I don't think you deserve a porn server. I can't speak to the switching servers, I've never used Emby myself
SorryBut if you wanna share your emby servers I could sample the experience.

Yesterday, AUR got hit with some more malicious packages. Seems like there's just some dude just uploading fake packages and hoping to get some bait.

I’m somewhat new to Linux, and have been using Linux Mint 22 for just over a week. Any tips and suggestions?
Nothing related to Wine/Proton, I have already figured out how to use those.

Not just a tranny; a furry schizophrenic tranny. Worked for Tailscale until recently.
The software is released under the MIT license so I am unsure why users doesn't change it in production. Haven't looked into it. Unsure why people have to be subjected to the trannys fetish.

Because that would require forking (technically) and manually managing it, as opposed to just installing a package and forgetting about it, I imagine.

One thing I feel like people forget about when talking about snaps vs flatpaks. Is appimages exist. IMO that is the actual answer to people wanting to install packages that wok on any linux distro. And do it in the windows way. And generally if you have the stuff needed to use appimages. I can't rememeber, but it might just be the fuse2 drivers. They will just work by themselves. That or if you just use a tarball. Which is the more traditional method. But I do think it might not be as self contained.
That said, the linux way of installing packages is better. Being able to type:
if you aren't a complete nigger is way faster. And generally way less likely to lead to the kinds of security issues people commonly have on windows installing random shit. Of course their can still be security issues in certain circumstances. But the things that need to happen to get them, are way more advanced, and way less likely to effect a normal desktop user, especially when you are using offical repositories.
That said. If you like openrc especially, I do think alpine is a good option. Especially if you want lightweight. It was made for embedded systems. And it's used a lot for containers because it's faily minimal out of the box. While it's still pretty useable.
And one of the things that makes it annoying if you are running on a desktop, but nice in those contexts is they split their packages up into smaller versions. Keep development libraries separate. So you only end up taking up as much space as you need to run a program.

Yeah basically. Since in general for a server I don't think people tend to really care if things get feature updates, or bugfixes. And in those cases it actually can make sense to try using debians backport way of doing things for the package that the newer version is need.

That is actually one of the things that gave me a distaste for debian. There were a few other things. But something similar annoyed me quite a lot. To the point I decided it's just easier to use something else that doesn't do all of that stuff for me. Because undoing it is way more work.
Don't forget to use crunklords +nigger license.Watch me how I fork this P.P.O.S (pozzed piece of shit) into C++ to only allow male, female and "it" pronouns.

"waifud", "enbyware", "made with nix"
This might be one of the worst repositories I have ever seen. Do they really think people find them spreading their gross BS everywhere on any unrelated project "cute"? Or is grossing people out part of their kink? If anything I think this shows that the kernel mailing list should remove the anime "waifu" images like the Arch Wiki did.

I had to do 9 captchas for this link, if all Linux news is this pozzed I'm installing Windows 11 and drinking myself to sleep.
Until then, is there a good resource for how to set up basic security for a desktop? I remember reading a recommendation to isolate program capabilities to a user and delete root and do everything through sudo, but I have no idea how true any of that is.

I didn't do anything like this. You'll be fine, just don't run random scripts, appimages, and if you're on Arch then check the AUR package before you install it.

Tried btop and it is definitely much prettier and I very much like that it seems to have over-time graphs where htop does not. Of course I've got htop setup how I like but I may switch pending further messing around with btop.
I installed neofetch from the AUR and then typed "neofetch" into my console and it worked. Thank you for the suggestion but gonna have to pass on configuring auto-generated chink json for the memes.

You're probably right. If it isn't a docker file they are stumped.
Our uwu anime girl was at BSDCan last month. Here is a terrible screenshot from the YT video from around 6hr30min onwards. Sounds like you would expect.
BSD has fallen. Bunch of mask wearing covidiots in the crowd and presenting. Not even Mega-Theo can save us now.

I hate to follow up a question with a question, but what the hell is a distro for anyways? And why would anyone use it? Artix works just fine, and it's not any different than Mint other than having to install the software myself.
Are distros just a big scam to keep people scared of Linux?

It's just a side effect of Linux's openness and community culture. You can make your own OS, great! Except now you're overwhelmed by choice, and if you're not a tech enthusiast you will despise Linux so much you'll make peace with how shit Windows is.
Do most people care to know what systemd is and why they should use OpenRC? No, they don't even know what the fuck smss.exe is and they don't need to because it works.
Do most people care to know what Wayland is and why they should use XLibre? No, they don't even know what the fuck dwm.exe is and they don't need to because it works.
Do most people care to know what GNOME is and why they should use LXDE? No, they don't even know what the fuck explorer.exe is and they don't need to because it works.
And the list goes on. Linux is inherently incompatible with the "people that are tired of Windows" target group because the Linux community is ideologically opposed to that group. The Linux community needs to know every cog in their OS and base their, and by extent everyone else's distro choices on that. Your average Windows user would be satisfied with Mint, but he won't hear "yeah just install Mint". He will hear why it's bad because of Canonical and Poettering and how he should use this other distro, and after that they'll go back to Windows and never consider Linux again. They don't care, they want to use their computer, not engage in some high school drama.
That's why so many people want Valve to release SteamOS for desktop. To them, that's a sane stable ground they can finally migrate to to ditch Windows forever. To them, it's the closest Linux can get to a sane Windows alternative. Created, owned and maintained by a reputable company and not a bunch of rabid ideologues like most distros are. Something that they can install and have it just work without having to worry why Lennart Poettering is a cunt, or why Debian/Canonical hires a convicted sadistic child rapist, or why Emmanuel Bassi is a toe sucking faggot. Nobody cares about that, and never does anyone who asks for a Linux distro recommendation gets one cohesive answer. If they won't get simultaneous suggestions for Mint, Manjaro, Arch, Artix, Debian, Devuan, Pop!_OS, Ubuntu and every other popular distro ever leaving them even more confused, they will hear all the Linux drama as the reasoning for why they should choose this distro over that. People are sick and tired of this happening every time they want to ditch Windows so they hope that Valve will finally put an end to this fuckery and offer one sane stable distro for people to use, because people trust Valve more than a horde of rabid autists.
So no, distros are not a big scam, they're the byproduct of the nature of Linux's openness, and what's truly making people scared of Linux is it's so-called community, which lacks any resemblance of one. Fragmented, constantly at war with each other, cannot agree on anything ever. If you can't even agree on one universal beginner distro (Mint), then you can forget about overcoming Apple's OS share, let alone Microsoft's.
And let's not act like "that's not the entire community", it is the entire community. The entire Linux community is based on the ideological opposition to proprietary software. Linux desktop is free and open source, and what's the main opposition to that? Microsoft Windows. That's why no matter how much people in the Linux community state that they don't care about overtaking Windows do victory laps when Linux hits a staggering 5% OS share declaring victory over Windows. That's why no matter how much they say that they don't want Windows users to use Linux, they do their absolute best to get Windows users to switch to Linux by any means necessary. What people in the Linux community say always contradicts what they do.
In short, no. People are scared of Linux because they're not autists and want something that works and that they don't have to think about. Any sort of Linux migration requires thinking, which is why unless Valve actually releases SteamOS, you should stay on Windows and don't bother with Linux. Unless Mint fulfills your needs, then stay on Mint and don't worry about anything else. Mint is good and anyone that suggests anything else is a nigger.
That's all for the monthly "Slav Power has an autistic spergout in the Linux thread about how much he despises Linux". Feel free to rate it "Dumb", "Mad At The Internet", "Autistic" and "Lunacy".
