Install the DEs manually instead of from metapackages so ,out don’t end up with their entire software suites being installed. Additionally, probably use Debian instead of Ubuntu if you’re gonna be doing stuff like that, less fingers in the pie make for an easier tinkering experience.
Reddit’s recent API changes making it difficult to moderate the communities I was in charge of was the final straw for me. Tbh I’m surprised the racism, transphobia, and rampant sinophobia didn’t scare me away sooner.
I’m digging hexbear and the lemmyverse, y’all are cool as fuck… mostly.
Try gparted on a liveUSB, you don’t wanna modify the partitions you’re actively using because it can(read: will) result in data loss.
If you’re willing to spend a little bit of time on it and actually know what’s happening behind the scenes, read the man-pages for fdisk and do it manually from a TTY, but for cereal, use a liveUSB and ffs do NOT mount the filesystems first
Icecat takes too long to compile
So, the big thing with instability is that with Linux “Unstable” refers to “Constantly receiving updates” rather than “Breaks all the time”
In my experience, if arch breaks, 99% of the time YOU the user did it.
If you want a kinkless experience with it, keep it simple.
Arch ships with systemd, as such, it also ships with systemd-boot. Use what’s built, don’t add additional bootloaders unless you need the functionality they offer.
Gnome, Matlab, and VScode have wiki pages for installation and configuration, and Firefox is in the repos and is one line in the terminal to install (#pacman -S firefox)
For a first install, I’d recommend following the wiki to install instead of using archinstall to familiarize yourself with how to use and read the wiki.
Greeeeat, now use it to retrofit ICEs into plug in hybrids
My ex-partner had the same experience, she said it felt like period cramps. Her appendix was the size of a grapefruit by the time she had the thing sliced out.
A few years back I woke up with some minor pain in my pp, assuming it was just a UTI that’d pass on its own I let it go for around a week until it was unbearable, and I ended up leaking blood every time I went to pee. Finally went to the hospital and it turns out I had E. Coli in my weenie. The infection had spread to my bladder, and up into my ureter. Doc said if I’d let it go another day it would have hit my kidneys where it could have become a full blown systemic infection, which likely would have killed me.
If your bits hurt, go to the doctor.
Have you considered doing stupid shit and used Bedrock Linux?
It’s great, but it’s still baking
