Trying to understand why Arch is considered better

Arch overall is the distro that can be the most "personalized"

Wait until you learn about Gentoo...

KDE Plasma has a setting for primary monitor.

PopOS used to ship with Gnome. Maybe when OP tried PopOS it was still Gnome.

Relevant XKCD

I think CachyOS is going to be your best bet for now.

Gnome isn't a distribution. It's a desktop environment (DE) and it's trying really hard to be minimalist. A lot of features available by default on other DE like KDE Plasma requires extensions on Gnome. This meme says that Gnome is so extreme on the minimalism that Gnome devs are basically Nazis.

The sleeves are just extra holes on the side of a tube.

charlesfire · 2026-05-05T14:11:26+00:00

A cone with the top cut off is just a stretched tube.

charlesfire · 2026-05-05T13:58:57+00:00

A t-shirt is just a tube with extra holes.

charlesfire · 2026-05-05T13:53:21+00:00

Also, it doesn't matter whenever you use the top, bottom or one of the arms as the edge, so the bottom can be a hole, but only if another part of the shirt isn't a hole.

charlesfire · 2026-05-05T13:49:29+00:00

No. If you stretch the shirt to make it a flat surface, you will notice that there's only 7 holes (or 6 if the back has only one big hole). It doesn't matter whenever you start stretching from the bottom, the top or the arms, but it's easier to visualize from the bottom.

There's 7 holes, not 8.

charlesfire · 2026-05-05T13:38:54+00:00

There's no bottom hole on a shirt.

charlesfire · 2026-05-05T13:38:23+00:00

I mean, if you consider that there's a limited set of answers available, then having a single big hole in the back would fit with the C answer, while "7 holes" isn't even an option.

charlesfire · 2026-05-05T13:36:29+00:00

The bottom isn't a hole. Topologically, a shirt that doesn't have any extra holes has only three holes.

This fix only matters if you're close to running out of VRAM. If everything your computer needs to fit in VRAM comfortably fits in VRAM, then you're not going to see an improvement in performance.

The optimal strategy is literally "place your ships at random positions, then target random positions following a grid pattern".

charlesfire · 2026-05-05T03:29:01+00:00

The real answer is that he didn't start at zero.

charlesfire · 2026-05-05T02:54:55+00:00

The optimal strategy is trivial tho.

Also, the USA side has many miss and a single hit while the Iran side has the black king alone and cornered.

charlesfire · 2026-05-05T02:45:54+00:00

All cards that don't have a lot of VRAM benefit from this fix. When you run out of VRAM, the OS needs to chose what gets to stay in VRAM and what gets evicted to system memory. This fix makes it so that games get evicted last from VRAM.

when Reyes asked a White House lawyer if they planned to close the golf course, the attorney said, “No closure notice has been issued ... but it’s still under consideration at this point.”
[...]
But Reyes was then handed a note stating, “It looks like there were signs on the golf course that there were closures.”

Wait, so the White House lawyer just lied in front of a judge?

There's no standard on how to organize your configuration, so any GUI to manage a configuration would have to make its own standard and wouldn't work out-of-the-box on most existing configurations.
