I mean yeah. I mean wtf.
I mean, if I install something compiling from source, I would not expect anyone else to manage it, right? I mean why would anyone expect that flatpak snap etc. all get managed automatically, they even forget how they installed something, it is so ridiculous.
Well I did, but the community in Lemmy is suffocatingly left leaning for me. So I had to go back to Reddit for fresh air. (Never have I thought I’d go back to Reddit because some other community is even more left, but here we are.)
Well then don’t! Revenge code which makes it worse for people who actually use Linux isn’t a way to do this.
It’s sad to see the 100500th confrontation between the people who have never contributed to the kernel, yet they want to deprive others of using their existing GPU with Linux and instead force them to buy a new GPU. This screams of of being elitist and haughty but I just don’t care any longer. Too tired of hatred, aggression, animosity and verbal attacks. This has really propelled Linux, oh, wait, it’s only shown what kind of people represent Open Source.
If it’s a dmca violation then sue them. Do not create software “defenses” and do not make my computer experience worse.
Manjaro is a really good distro to start with. It has very nice defaults including the correct zsh plugins. Should make your transition to Arch whenever the time comes very smooth. It does have a bad reputation because they don’t seem to manage it well (e.g. keys keep expiring), and the said defaults are implemented in a very hacky way (if you see the code). Also they follow a delayed release which is really unnecessary given Arch is stable already; and in fact the delay can cause issues if you use AUR (which you will, eventually discover and learn about and love).
My God I don’t think she’s capable of rational thought. I thought the tides were against her when she was booed in NYC for proposing to allow more illegal immigrants and lawlessness, but her support here now worries me.
Search for “how to install Firefox in Arch”. Snapstore page which asks you to first install snap from AUR, and then install Firefox through Snap is the second entry, I kid you not!
And they have same pages for Fedora erc.
This predatory behavior is to try and get any potential new Linux users to use their crapstore instead of their distro’s package is disgusting and malicious.
Judging by the number of downvotes my question received, looks like most people here prefer censorship over expressing ideas.
What exactly is wrong with free speech?
This is a case where the class is led by a moron. That person should be reported.
Piracy for the students was justified because they had no other option. But outside of this school, if I were you and I needed the software again, I’d definitely use Octave without question. (Or Python if I’m willing to learn something new.)
The point is, if you have free and open source alternatives, use them. You’ll be better off.
This is the kind of things I like to hear!
I’m not sure why you say that. I’ve been using Arch to play triple A games (Control, Diablo 4, Elden Ring, Death Stranding, etc.) with NVidia GPU even (which is known to have proprietary driver and not as tweakable). Never had a single glitch, everything runs like native.
I beg to differ. I think it’s very harmful.
I hate that they also SEO’d the hell out of major search engines to show snap setup and installation instructions when anyone searches for installing a package. E.g. “arch install firefox” leads to https://snapcraft.io/install/firefox/arch which is downright dishonest marketing.
