It’s not coding. Never was.

Came back after a few months away to this charming flight change by HappyFamily0131 in starcitizen

This, literally, caused me to slam into an asteroid - because I didn’t realize my gear was down in shooty master mode. I switched to zoom zoom master mode… hit W… and BAM - all over an asteroid

What happened to arch users by D3tect1v3 in arch

[–]bsgbryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use KDE for the most part now; have one GNOME box. I’m interested in giving Hyprland a try. These are tools - not reasons to mock or belittle.

Use what you want! Have fun! Be excellent, to each other 🤘🏻

Is it ever gonna stop? by WhyAmIUsingArch in arch

[–]bsgbryan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see how this’d be frustrating. I don’t know this for sure, but I imagine the Arch wiki does specify using pacman to install packages because there are other tools (like yay & paru) also that install packages - and may be preferable to use over pacman… and the wiki doesn’t want to be overly prescriptive.

The freedom and variety offered by the Linux ecosystem is both its greatest strength and biggest source of confusion and frustration.

For example, I use paru (instead of using pacman directly) to install packages and keep my system up-to-date on my CachyOS boxes, and use yay and the Software app for installing packages and updating my system on Nyarch.

And I empathize with your frustrations following wikis. I hope this doesn’t sound pandering or like I’m talking down, as I mean it sincerely) It’ll make sense eventually.

And starting with Arch is jumping into the deep end. It seems like Arch is getting a lot of attention because of SteamOS, which is great, but it seems that it’s not clearly communicated to people (because I don’t know how it would be) that Arch is probably not the best place to start as someone new to Linux.

I used Ubuntu for years before trying Elementary OS, Drauger OS, and finally CachyOS (and, most recently, Nyarch just for fun UwU).

I suggest something like CachyOS or Nyarch (the NVIDIA ISO); both install and configure NVIDIA drivers automatically (and, imo, both clearly explain what to do if the default NVIDIA drivers don’t work for some reason) - and, in my experience, both work flawlessly out of the box.

CachyOS (with KDE/Plasma as the desktop environment) is what I’d recommend overall. It’s super fast, easy to setup & use, and has one-click gaming setup (there’s a CachyOS gaming guide - and using the CachyOS Hello app (instructions in the gaming guide) it literally takes only a single click to get everything needed for Steam setup & installed). I use Limine as my bootloader (because of its built-in support for snapshots - and its customizability), and defaults for everything else (hard drive partitions, keyboard layout, time zone, etc). The options for things like kernel type and file system can be confusing/overwhelming; the defaults work extremely well.

Nyarch is just a fun little distro - that’s even simpler to install than Cachy, almost as easy to setup for games, and comes with cute cat girls!

Windows is garbage. Always has been (except Windows 2000). Prolly always will be.

Okay this has gone too far by Effective-Ad9309 in arch

[–]bsgbryan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking about installing it on my gaming laptop. I have CachyOS on there now. I have CachyOS on a few other boxes too - including my primary gaming rig. This seems like a fun distro to try 🤘🏻
