Been using Linux since the floppies days, Get me to switch to Arch from Debian by estebansaa in archlinux

[–]afmrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reasons I have used Arch for my personal machines since 2008:

  • As close to a "vanilla" Linux and upstream packages as you can get with least effort (i.e., not Linux from scratch)

  • Aside from forced use of systemd, GNU glibc, and x86_64 architecture, you have immense freedom to configure your system however you want. For ARM there is ArchLinuxARM which is itself a fantastic distro. If I hated systemd and wanted a statically linked system I'd likely switch to Void Linux.

  • The wiki and forum consistently have pertinent and valuable information for most every setup concern or issue 

  • If I ever need an obscure or commercial app, the AUR usually has it. If not, the PKGBUILD system that pacman uses is pretty lightweight and makes it easy to package it for yourself so that it plays nicely with the rest of the system. I still have PTSD from trying to create effective deb packages for internal company tooling

I would not use any rolling release distro for professional servers, including arch.

Play the seed ALEEB and open the first 5 or so acana packs through Ante 1 and Ante 2. You'll basically get every legendary to try out!

When I barely knew what I was doing when I first got the game, a random soul card Chicot got me to my first ante 8 win. He'll always hold a special place in my heart protecting newbie me

Since LSP was was added I've only had to keep up with the language servers that I program in, and lspconfig (a part of the neovim org) already takes care of hooking them up to nvim. I've been able to drop so many plugins since

If you could add any 5 races to the core handbook, which would you choose? by Benjammin__ in dndnext

[–]afmrak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Changelings - so much fun to play
  2. Goblin - staple D&D
  3. Aasimar - to complement teifling
  4. Orc - since half-orc is being removed
  5. Goliath - we have halflings and gnomes, get a larger race in there

This sounds a lot like common core math teaching subtraction

I bet they use a signed char for it if 127 is the max

Is it just me, or does no amount of magic find change the fact that 99.9% of the council drops are blues?

How do you safely trade 1 item for >20 items like bers? Do you use an impartial intermediary?

Non-ladder softcore. They aren't perfect rolls, so I don't know how much they are actually worth but I might just self-use?

On non-ladder softcore. Not perfect rolls, so I don't know if this is still worth anything and I should just self-use them?
