What is the current opinion on EndeavourOS? Thinking of moving to it but I'm not sure if there is anything better or it has problems that I haven't found out about.

It's basically everything Manjaro should have been from the very start IE don't break the scope of Arch Linux to fix a problem which doesn't exist. EndeavourOS doesn't pretend to be Ubuntu in its package update and release model, and doesn't fuck up their certificate keys because they aren't shoehorning an update model that is incompatible with upstream Arch.
 
I recommend to my friends CachyOS and EndeavourOS for the simplicity and themes. If your OS looks like ass or something from the 90's it won't attract the normies I reckon.
I use Artix, fyi.

I have it on my laptop i rarely use. Updates haven't bricked anything for me.
 
I will say, that on one of my other laptops, when I was running Windows 10 (IoT Enterprise but that's beside the point), it took 10 goddamn minutes to fully shut down. Slapped Fedora on it, and it now shuts down in less than 30 seconds.

I had to ask someone on matrix of all places how to change the kde theme in artix
If you want to do that there's a gtk 2 and gtk 3 folder in .config I think and if you don't delete them it'll fuck your theme up

Yeah thats a big pain point. When I reinstall Artix i always drop to a TTY after installing and remove all artix branding shit before wiping my home directory outside of the essential shit. Wish they would just ship barebones.

Its good, kinda lost its charm when archinstall was made, but if you don't want to have to deal with installing through a TUI then its good.

I've been using for a while and it just works for the most part. Only issue I remember is that it was harder to get switching between typing in English and Japanese working than it was in Ubuntu, and sometimes it gets confused about what my keyboard layout is (mostly after I run a Windows game in Steam, for some reason) and I have to fix it, but that's probably a niche issue. Really, as far as I can tell, it's just Arch with a more automated installer and an extra small package repository containing a metapackage that automates gathering together Nvidia drivers from the Arch repository for you if you have an Nvidia GPU.
 

Do people still think one state passing one of these laws doesn't matter?


Bro. I fucking HATE all the retards on the right that supported us going down the road that eventually brought us here like 2 years ago.

They're as much to blame for this happening as these Democrat representatives that are bringing up these laws now. All the people that fell for the rhetoric that we need the government to come in and protect the kids... By giving up even more information that we already do. I hate the people on the right for it because they should have known better, and they really got behind this kind of shit first, and set the ball rolling. They completely ignored the companies like oracle that were on their side basically. And ive seen people that still stand by requiring ID, or regulating this stuff in general.

Texas and other states started the ball rolling that eventually led to this round of laws before California. One lead to the other.

The end result is probably going to be something horrific like a federal law that replicates the uk's online safety act. But hey gotta protect those kids, didnt ya see the documentary film adolescence?

Which Linux distribution has the easiest tooling for creating mirrors and hosting them on your own domain?
Click to expand...
I don't think it's hard on any distro, really. With Gentoo, clone the repo: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo With Debian (and derivatives like Ubuntu/Mint), you can build your mirror transparently by simply requesting packages via https://wiki.debian.org/AptCacherNg in apt.

I don't know the other distroes approaches, but I can't imagine they're substantially easier or harder. Debian and derivatives probably have a dozen or more different implementations depending on your preferences.
 

I'm glad this is what lunduke has decided to grift on lately. At least putting a bit of a megaphone up and showing this is happening won't hurt.

It does more good than sperging about rust or something. The rust stuff can be funny sometimes, but constantly talking about it gets old fast.

something arch based like cachyos (if you want just works) could be a good choice then. They're about as up to date as you will get with a linux distro. If you want something chudly then artix is also arch based, and it is one of the few actually chud aligned distros I know of (kinda at least).

Also just wondering if messing with any bios setting has had any effect. I'm sure you've disabled secure boot an all of that? Otherwise it does sound like you do just need more up to date software like you suggested.

I tried Ubuntu again and all I had to do was an NTFSfix in the command line to make the drives work because I dual boot with 10LTSC. Normies on Mint or Ubuntu aren't going to know how to do that which is insidious that Microjeet is most likely sabotaging it like when they had defender block explorer patcher and all you had to do to get around it was change one letter.

I know for a fact that Microjeet security updates will try and fuck with your dual boots and have broken people's dual boots before.

Good to know. I will be experimenting with this in my free time just to see how difficult it would be to maintain a fork in the event that all the mainstream distros get pozzed by this law

Then let me explicitly reassure you: I, too, will be doing this if the distroes fag themselves out in this manner. I think there are a lot of folks who see the line here and will hold it.

Lunduke made a good point (really was system76). That essentially once sites start relying on this signal, unless you have this running on your system you are going to have gimped access to the internet.

So if things get to that point, you are going to be forced to at least have the api set up, if nothing else.

It's really shitty that this is going to he what we have to deal with in the future.

I hope any of the mouth drooling retards that want this rope. If someone thinks this is a good thing I don't think they're mentally capable of doing anything useful for society anyway. We would all be better off for it.

I'm a Mint tard and my NTFS drives were fine other than 1 issue with Steam where it won't launch games installed via windows. If I uninstall and reinstall said games they work. Mint is quite literally retard proof and I love it for that reason alone

Really depends on the definition of "this signal". "Gimped access to the internet", sure, but which sites? X? Facebook? Fuck 'em both. KF? If you have to show your ID to access a website, anon sites like this are DEAD. My personal sites? Meh, time to leave the internet. The internet is the circus in the elite's "bread and circus" control plan, and if you fuck up the circus so bad no one bothers going any more, that will destroy its usefulness.

I get what you're saying, but let's not be too doomer about it until we see the implementation. Chances are it'll be some dumb boomer bullshit and we just use a proxy server that transparently adds an HTTP header or some shit. This is the same category of institution that thinks it was a good idea to force disclosure of cookie use, FFS.

It's one thing to try make a law. It's another thing entirely to try to get everyone onboard with some neo-surveillance tech.
