The memes are the friends we made along the way :)

While only once, timeshift destroyed my bootloader. Don’t update and reboot before a meeting, kids

Did it ever occur to you that people can have a mix of views that don’t fully conform to one ideology or another? It’s a spectrum, not riding the fence. Like politics, not everything is a team sport.

Better yet, backup /home to a separate disk and replace after install.

Old hardware used to get really upset before plug and play became common. I remember I was playing some old racing game with a joystick on a win95 box, and accidentally pulled the connector out, lost my entire game because the system flipped out.

Points for creativity certainly, psych eval for execution

Looks like someone moved to San Francisco with some money and had “an idea”

Interesting, is that included on the live image or is it something I need to grab when the image first boots?

Pretty spot on. I run EOS, mostly because when I decided to get off Windows two years ago I tried it out and it hasn’t broken yet (at least not to the point I couldn’t fix it). My biggest draw was ease of installation, as I didn’t really have the time nor desire to go through a full Arch install. The mechanics of the OS, package management (both pacman and AUR), are identical (EOS does use dracut by default instead of mkinitcpio for image generation, that threw me for a loop when I had to fix it a while back as I’d never used it before). Any questions are easily answered using the Arch documentation. I’ve had to fix my install twice in the last few years, the most recent being systemd-boot deciding to be an asshole after an update, but I’ve been very happy with it.

I think you need a different hardware solution entirely. If your goal is satellite, get a dedicated satellite box and feed it directly to you air gapped TV, and switch HDMI like the olden days.

No android box that supports streaming (with associated DRM and therefore bullshit) will offer true privacy. If you don’t care about streaming and want to integrate satellite into your own selfhosted content, try mini PC with an openELEC variant that supports multiple input, or use an AVR to feed multiple sources into it.

Bleeding edge is a bitch, ain’t it. Thanks arch!

Me as well. My only real requirement is that the window supports transparency.

Got PakOS, but since I’m not Pakistani I’m not sure how useful it would be

I mean, I had a mainline kernel update bork my system last month

Question if you don’t mind: is it theoretically possible to use syncthing on the root directory of a given arch install, somehow blacklist hardware specific components, and basically have a running clone between both systems? I’ve never heard of syncthing before this but it sounds intriguing

I got a X1 carbon gen 10 last year, and despite all the Lenovo hate, it’s been a great laptop running EndeavourOS. I opted for the 512gb as the price for the 2tb drive was ridiculous, so I bought a WD Black 2tb and swapped it myself. The bottom plate takes a few min to figure out, but it isn’t terrible.

I’ve definitely notice weirdness with odt files, but truth be told I damn never run into those, everything is xlsx, docx, etc as I’m interfacing with companies that are firmly MS, but they’re also none the wiser usually. Every now and again there’ll be a formatting issue, especially with Excel, but it isn’t too common thankfully.

For what is worth, I’ve had better luck on MSOffice integration with onlyoffice, but ymmv

Only one way to find out
