I’d say going directly to a developer’s github page for packages isnt too bad, especially now with all of the security features github has in the background, but yea technically true.

Obtainium but for Debian, nice
We’ve had this on KDE for a year or two now, and it’s mostly been great.
It won’t mean no more blurry apps unfortunately, but games will render at the correct resolution and some xwayland apps will look a lot better.
This probably meets some extreme corporate usecase where they are serving millions of customers.
Oh. Im on KDE and it runs great there. I think you could probably port the game to use libadwaita as a fork if you wanted
Third party launchers are the LAST thing we need, and would provide no benefit that the game itself doesn’t already provide.
Minecraft needs launchers because of the lack of built-in mod support and the fact that its closed source. Minetest is the opposite of these things.
My point is you are grossly oversimplifying software and how hard it is to actually write something like an office clone
software to edit documents isnt complicated
Write me a function to generate a Pivot Table with all of the features from Excel, from scratch
People like you disgust me. You intentionally ignore the root of the problem and instead direct your frustration and blame at the victim of said problem.
You absolutely should not be blaming Linux for this, this is the HDMI forum’s fault.
I too would rather have an F-droid version instead of having to use Obtainium. There is additional inherent trust by going through F-droid’s process.
Having a literal AI strapped to a physical controller (wires soldered to button contacts and so on), with a camera that watches the TV and plays for you is already a thing and cant be stopped except via serverside anticheat
Back your settings up and restore them then.
People who talk about it like this are people who probably value a few things:
learning (in general)
self-improvement
deep understanding over their system
control over their belongings
trust/safety in their system
DIY distros naturally provide these things by forcing you to go through their manual install process.
Think about it like how Goku always finds ways to get stronger and better at what he does by sheer effort.
Its basically the difference between buying a consumer car with automatic transmission and self-driving vs putting together a kit car that has manual stick shift.
Ubuntu and fedora and the like, like the modern consumer car, just does everything for you with little hastle. But you might not know anything about how it works and have to call a mechanic to fix it.
Arch and Gentoo and the like, like kit cars, give you granular control over your system, can sometimes be a lot more powerful, is tuned to your specific needs, and most importantly: you learn. You will rarely if ever have to call the mechanic because you know how to just go in and rip and replace or tweak the faulty part.
You can obviously learn to work on your consumer car and start tuning and tweaking it, but you’re not fully in charge.
There are different usecases for different people. For the people who like Arch, installing everything yourself is a value-add, to us it means the system gets out of our way. You set it up one time and it just works.
I put together my install over 6 years ago and have had to do next to no maintenance since then with regular updates.
Dude I literally addressed your concern in my post by saying its not for everyone. You are deliberately choosing to ignore that part in order to fulfill your own agenda, or because you just want to be cranky about something (or maybe both). Have you had your morning coffee yet?
I suppose that for an automatic out-of-box experience this is true and probably what most users want, but again if you’re savvy (which I recognize is not the case for most users, making Arch not viable for everyone), Arch is equally hardware-compatible and with the AUR even moreso in some cases. There is no automatic driver installer on Arch, but that’s because there is no automatic anything installer - you’re expected to research and maintain it yourself (which is excellent for learning linux by the way).
I agree with the immutable bit, but Arch is literally what Valve develops against for Proton and their other services, so as far as compatibility goes it would reason to stand that as long as you are capable of actually maintaining an Arch install, you would be at most-compatible on it.
Sure, but the CI/CD pipeline would take care of that for you for every single build. You build the pipeline once and then forget about it until Apple makes some breaking change. Meanwhile, you push the code to your repository one time and watch as the machine automatically builds all 50 installers for you in one go AND publishes them for you without having to lift a finger.
I use kmail daily. It is viable. The only thing i hate is the presentation of plaintext vs html mode.
It’d be great if they implemented the same identity encryption/obfuscation that Signal uses but for the IPs.
