make sure you don’t do the XY problem.
Thanks for the link. That’s funny because translating Y to X is basically the core task when developing client-specific solutions.

I had no idea how to properly set up the filesystem, so I mounted them to /mnt/f and /mnt/h. It caused me many hours of headache later.
Can you elaborate? What kind of headaches? How would you set it up now? While I’ve been using Linux quite a while I don’t have multiple hard drives and am always interested in best practices.

Don’t be so hard on it - at least some hands have five fingers.
It’s mandatory for online boasting.
Can’t even imagine. I’ve got fed up by the short time I had to configure Maven in plain xml…
I had to read it repeatedly and check if it really said “syntax error”. What will those people do if they encounter their first race condition?
Yes. Keep it simple and stupid.
Why are there so many paru fans? Last release is a year old, constantly out of date in AUR and failing builds in Github don’t scream code quality. I prefer yay.
“just”… Enshittification is too real. :(
It’s what set me free to move to Linux for good! It’s such a relief to not be affected by all the bullshit Microsoft brings to the world with Windows 11+.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for example runs Ricochet Anti-Cheat on kernel level which fundamentally contradicts Linux architecture and will never run.
Easy Anti-Cheat is an example where the devs gave in paving the way to a proton addon which allows you to play Apex, for example.
You also had to manually cut your partitions, then to manually setup everything after install - himem, mouse, sound… It was mostly loading drivers and in Arch it’s installing and configuring packages. Sure, it’s more complex due to vastly more possibilities but the actual doing is pretty similar. And there was no wiki back then. ;)
I’m confused. You start doubting what I said and continue to confirm my point…?
what a nightmare it was, like Arch today
Disagree. Arch is smooth sailing in comparison. More like installing DOS in the early 90s.
Naive Linux users and gatekeepers.
There’s another kind I count myself to: realistic Linux users.
Linux can be a real alternative - if you have issues with Windows/Mac and are willing to tinker every once in a while. And you don’t mind playing AAA competitive shooters since those come with rootkits that won’t ever fly on Linux.
If you have to ask, don’t do it. People moving away from Windows usually have strong enough motivation to be able to tolerate the occasional tinkering Linux will require (any distro will, some more than others).
Personally, I switched a couple of years ago because I was fed up with Windows telemetry bullshit. But I admit that’s mostly ideological because you don’t “feel” it if you choose to ignore privacy rights violations.
I then discovered Linux to be much faster (booting, I/O, program start-up, basically everything) and not becoming shitty just by using it like every single Windows version does. Also, if you run into problems it’s much easier to find and understand the root cause. Windows is just a black box.
It’s full of personalized profiling too. Hard pass from me.
The cringe term “code ninja” supports your theory.
Java seems to be the culprit then.
