    Basic kde install, I have it up in 30 min and then I never touch it again. Definitely better than a persistent full system lockup at the installer boot screen or installed system boot screen with no error logs.

    It’s probably either my 2070 super graphics card or my MSI x570 ace. Not worth the hassle of figuring out if I can’t find a solution on Google.

    I blame MSI because their software and bios was always janky. But hay, you gotta piss with the cock you got.

    I quit using Arch after about ten years of using it because Team Fortress 2 quit working and none of the resolutions on protondb fixed my issue.

    Priorities, people.

      The 32bit libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 that all Source 1 games ship with needs to be updated. You can symlink it to your system’s version to get TF2 running again. It’s usually only a matter of time before it starts to effect more downstream distros.

      The other problem I have with TF2 is queueing for casual just stops for no discernable reason or error every time, even if I’m not the party host. But then I come back later and it works again? Only real solution I’ve found is to have my friends queue without me and then join after they’ve found a match.

        See, I did all that… and then audio broke. So, I couldn’t anymore, man. I probably could’ve copied the install, kept it updated and held it for a resolution but I just don’t demand that much from my builds anymore really. I went with Mint with XFCE and haven’t had a single issue since install. I’m good. If it comes down to Ubuntu’s base, a lot more eyes will be on the problem and I’ll sort it out then.

      I’m vegan for health reasons and I have yet to meat one of the infamous vegans the stereotype portrays. I ask questions, look for recipes, etc, and everyone has been super nice. I think “those vegans” live primarily on Twitter and Reddit.

      PS: I’ve had a working Linux system in daily use since I started back with Red Hat Halloween and I prefer Debían based installs like Pop!_OS and Mint D. Nothing against Arch but I ain’t got time to fight the OS as well as my work.

      EDIT: The typo stays.

        I’ve met one or two. It’s like fine, it’s a major lifestyle change often associated with ethics that sets you aside from most of society. Many folks have a period of a few months to a year or two of being really annoying about shit like that. It happens with all sorts of folks: linux and arch users, freshly out queer people, people getting into polyamory, new converts to religions… frankly atheists and people who just converted to Christianity are the worst about it in my experience. And yeah these people are annoying. You’ve been annoying too I’m sure, we all have, it’s part of being a person and the people being annoying about these things are typically doing so at an age where some variant of that is a common experience

          I’ve been annoying? I’VE BEEN ANNOYING?!? I take offense of your liberal use of the past tense, Captain.

          I hear ya though. I guess I’ve been lucky in my interactions, but the memes make it seem like it’s constant and ever present with vegans, and that doesn’t match with my experience outside of the Internet.

        This is very likely my very environmentally influenced view, but I think there was a period of time where being vegan was a trend among the health hipsters, who weren’t vegan due to ethics, but because either everyone else was doing it or because they claim it has massive health benefits like they did for paleo, keto or other diets. Those I think could indeed fit that stereotype. Or maybe I’m living in a fairy tale.

      Of course not. With the lack of iron and protein you need to complain while sitting.

      Part of being vegan is understanding you’ll be mocked and criticized for completely unrelated things. Like Bubly sparkling water or blue denim, for example.

    Debian guy could have just downloaded the nonfree installer that includes some common wifi and other hardware firmwares. There are some pragmatists at Debian.

        Well… Say that to my live USB I tried booting off of a machine with a very modern nVidia card. I had to create a new boot entry to disable nouveau and install nVidia proprietary graphics into a persistent partition.

        I understand nVidia is shit, and doesn’t play nice with others. But my point is - it’s not always that easy. (I thought it would be! I lost many hours, and pulled out lots of hair!)

            It’s not related to secure boot (I have that disabled) it’s related to nouveu drivers not supporting the 4090 (yet)

      Agree but Debian is still damn manual compared to many Fedora quality of life improvements.

      Meanwhile, removing snaps and replacing with flatpaks on a set up ubuntu system is crazy! All those loop mounts suddenly start showing up when snapd is gone

      Not in the good old days. Back in 2000something I built a custom installer image with a backported kernel from testing and some firmware to get debian installed on a new laptop.

      For me it is, in so far as I’d see it as a personal failure if my contributions here failed to create at least some controversy and ruffled some feathers :P

      You see, it’s fun to poke things. Poking a pumpkin is funny for about 10 seconds. Poking a beehive on the other hand … that has a certain thrill to it. Sure, one might get stung, but it keeps on giving for a long time.

        I just don’t like the unnecessary stab at vegans. Adds nothing to the joke except rehash 10 year old stereotypes.

            Yeah but how many knew that? Context helps, I initially thought you were commenting on “if you tell everyone you’re vegan, you’re probably also the type to talk up arch”.

            Is this comic a useful contribution? It seems more divisive, made by someone who really concerns themselves with being part of an ingroup, vs anything meaningful.

            Dunno man, it’s a little… Mean spirited.

              Yes.

              It entertained a lot of people.

              It seems more divisive,

              Welcome to the linux community: united, yet splintered.

              made by someone who really concerns themselves with being part of an ingroup, vs anything meaningful.

              Meh. As a fedora user I’m on the right side.

              Dunno man, it’s a little… Mean spirited.

              That’s an interesting way to express your tears of anger.

    I started using EndeavourOS which is pretty close to Arch with a better installer. Uses their repos unlike Manjaro.

    Downvote for vegan. Thats just unnecessary bullying without getting the point. But I also dont know many “influencer hipsters” which are always annoying, no matter what they do
