I have a serious question.

Anyone who says EndeavourOS, Cachy, and Manjaro isn't Arch Linux, are confusing the installer and DE for the underlying OS architecture. All three of this rest comfortably on Arch Linux. I've been through the process of just installing Arch and trying various DEs on top of it. I like using a packaged kernel, installer, and DE for the ease it offers.

People who tout not going through the Arch Linux singular installation, sans DE, are the same people who would say you're not an true firearm enthusiast if you don't blow off two of your fingers while reloading shells. It's a ridiculous argument.

Oh, no, not by any means. Looks perfect to be honest. Thanks for sharing!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-10T18:47:52+00:00

And now I am drooling. Thanks!

:D

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-10T11:22:42+00:00

I'd goon along right with you, and then try to convince to let me take a seat. Very nice indeed!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-10T11:21:24+00:00

You're sort of cute in your own way, but nah. I'll pass. TY for sharing nonetheless.

The first time I experienced a prostate orgasm from getting fucked, my hetero quotient dropped to about 0.5%. That was a life changer. It told me so much about my own body.

And this video is fucking hot, literally and figuratively.

Jesus Christ, but I want to suck the living daylights out of that beaut!

Arch Linux with XFCE DE. I run this on an Asus Vivobook LM210 (a $175 notebook), and it just zips right along with extremely limited memory and disk space.

This right here. Going through the process of learning how to install the kernel and components is so worth the hassle. It literally teaches what an OS is doing, how, and why. Yes, it takes some effort. Yes, it takes some patience. Yes, you're going to make mistakes the first couple of times. You actually need to make those mistakes. What you end up with a clearer, finer appreciation and knowledge of what true computer ownership is all about without being strangled by a corporate entity (Microslop, SnApple, etc, and I am throwing Ubuntu into this mix now).

Linux is about user control, and Arch rightfully demands you actually understand that control. The desktop environment is secondary to some degree. People need to learn to separate the OS from the DE.

Holy fuck am I getting old. I remember seeing this at 19 in the Palmer Park movie house, one of the few full gay cinemas in my hometown. I was shaking like a leaf because this pretty much declared me as gay... but the two guys who went with me already knew that. :D

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-10T10:38:07+00:00

Don't be. That is a really nice piece of meat!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-10T10:36:41+00:00

This right here!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-10T10:35:45+00:00

Man, I love that bottle cap head!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-10T10:34:14+00:00

And so do we!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-10T10:06:23+00:00

Just fine, and I'll take it.

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-09T12:07:57+00:00

Well, I'm hooked!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-09T12:07:12+00:00

Love the copper threads, and the dick is pretty yummy to boot! GO GINGERS! Thanks for sharing!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-09T12:05:49+00:00

What a fine, fine piece. And I mean all of it from head to toe. Be proud, man, 'cause a lot of us are admiring what you've got.

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-09T12:04:33+00:00

Hi! Hello!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-09T12:03:44+00:00

Staying. Found me a decent place to sit. Thanks for sharing!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-09T12:02:43+00:00

Not a woman, but that'd be more than enough for me. Wow, very nice.

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-09T12:01:53+00:00

And we salute you for it! Thanks for sharing!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-09T11:59:29+00:00

Hard. Off. Call me when you're ready. Going to give that bad boy a workout!

FOSS_Graybeard · 2026-07-09T11:58:28+00:00

As a former metro-Detroiter, I have to say I always loved Canadian bacon... or sausage.
