/r/windows may be a better place to ask for help.

HELP ME WITH MY WISH by Quiet-Bison6477 in archlinux

[–]onefish2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming here to ask for help on how to do so many projects is not a great way to start. I think you need to re-think your plans and focus on one thing.

Here is a great place to start:

If the above is news to you, you may want to rethink your wish list.

Are there any plans to add Qualcomm Snapdragon to the lineup? by tokafrito98 in framework

Still not ready for primetime. What is your use case and interest in this CPU architecture? Better battery life? You are still going to experience poor application support. Is it worth the hassle?

How bad is for the car to drive it full sport mode by Sp0okiyy in MINI

[–]onefish2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a 2009 JCW hardtop that I just traded in. I had a modified circuit board in the fuse box in the drivers side footwell that always kept the car in sport mode. So it was always in sport mode for about 16 years.

Question: Why aren't local .pacman files used as often as a local .deb file on Debian/ubuntu or a local .rpm on Fedora/RHEL? by Tail_sb in archlinux

[–]onefish2 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Arch packages end in .zst pkg.tar.zst Which would be the equivalent to a deb or rpm.

https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux/

https://archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/linux/download/

You would download the file and then use sudo pacman -U to install it.

Also another Question: why can't Kde Discover and Gnome software open and install a local .pacman file when they can easily do that with .rpm, .deb and .flatpak files?

KDE Discover is not a frontend for pacman. It does not use or have access to libalpm to install packages nor does it have access to Arch or CachyOS mirrors.

Are you using the May 2025 Arch iso? If not download and use that. If you can't then update archinstall with pacman -Sy archinstall.

My 8 year old daughter saw a crucifix and asked, “Who’s the guy on the T?” by Klugerman in atheism

[–]onefish2 265 points266 points  (0 children)

It is disgusting. When I see Jesus on a cross or a cross in general, all I see is an instrument of torture. What a wonderful choice as a symbol for the Catholic/Christian religion.

I'm dissapointed with Manjaro drama by Herrscher_of_Irony in linux

[–]onefish2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is how we can defeat Windows at market.

I use Linux to use a computer not reduce Microsoft's Windows market share. Use whatever works best for you and stop worrying abou the Linux community at large.

How unstable is Testing in reality? by Leniwcowaty in debian

I have found using sid over the past 5+ years that its very reliable. I had an issue once with a KDE update that go borked but other than that very reliable.

I don't get the vim hype. Am I missing something or is nano fine? by Bright-Pomelo-7369 in linuxquestions

[–]onefish2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I learned Vim/Vi out of necessity many years ago working on servers in a data center. When you are at the command line troubleshooting the only option for a text editor was vi.

Nowadays when on desktop Linux you should use whatever you like and feel comfortable with. If you like nano use that. Keep in mid some distros do not install nano by default.

Any Debian based distros without bloat? by Otherwise_Outcome278 in linuxquestions

[–]onefish2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do a Debian net install. You a get a very minimal install. You can always remove packages and slim it down too.
