Ok but how did they fit tho
Linux collects tracking information in the back to send perfectly fitting thigh highs on your location. Hope this helps.

very well
Mazel tov. The next step down the rabbit hole is to get a tiling window manager like i3.
I already have Hyprland installed
Oof
Cosmic by popOS is pretty slick.
I haven't switched to it full time, still happy with KDE... but niri is really nice too
Just finished my basic niri install on NixOS. Seriously loving it. Had been wanting to ditch Hyprland for a while, but kept hitting walls with tutorials and blogs trying to convince me to use flakes and home manager. Finally last night I sat down and completely rewrote my config to just be simple default config style and got niri working. Feels like the window manager experience Iβve been dreaming of my whole life.
What issues were you having with hyperland? I've been running awesomewm for about a decade and I know my days on x11 are numbered. Hyperland was going to be my next trial.
Not the same person, but the Hyprland developer is... controversial, so that could be the reason.

I'm getting ready to do the same thing - just need a couple hours of extra time to take the plunge!
You know... It you don't want those stockings or ears ππ
you are now a femboy (BTW!)
I'm a Transwoman though.
nevermind then, i didn't notice, sorry
Meowwwwwwww!
I do use an arch-based distro tho I've never like gotten the bad sides? Maybe my distro maintainers are just that good
There isnt any bad sides, not really.
It used to be hard to install but that is also not the case anymore.
People think its unstable because it has the latest packages. I mean, sometimes i have had issues, sure. A few times, bluetooth stack was bugging out in the newest kernel. Another time plasma had bugs with graphics, which I reported and it was fixed just a few weeks later.
Nothing that broke the entire system. Just small issues.
But this is much better than running Debian which has very old packages, full of old bugs. They used to be a full generation behind in plasma for example, and using a kernel that was over a year old. Those things leads to poor hardware support, getting bugs solved over a year ago and so on.
I really dont understand Debian users because ive never experienced how an updated system is worse than a very old one.
That tells me you don't understand what a "stable" release branch is. The Debian maintainers do a lot of work to ensure that the packages not only work, but work well together. They don't introduce breaking changes during the lifecycle of a major branch. They add feature updates between point releases, and continuously release security updates.
In the real world, that stability is a great value, especially in the server space. You'd be insane to use Arch as a production server, and I'm saying that as an Arch user.
Something, something, sword of Damocles.

I mean, they distributed the xz attack, and then rolled it back when a debian sid user signaled it. This is just not a viable way to do things, especially if the number of users increases. You need a stronger testing policy before the update hits the users, you shouldn't just assume everything can be fixed by further updates. Debian stable is a bit on the extreme side of that, but Debian testing or Fedora feel much more reasonable long term to me

Same, and the only few problems I've ever had with it have been due to Nvidia drivers, so not on them.
How hard would be for me to switch coming from catchyOS? And would it be worth it lol
Cachy is Arch based so unless you really want to customize your system its not worth switching IMO as you're likely already receiving the Arch benefits.
Something that I really like about Catchy is that it's been a really smooth experience so far. I wouldn't even know what to customize other than the DE, to be honest... so I'll keep running Catchy then :) As for the Arch benefits; I've always used Ubuntu and it is true that problably someone asked xyz so you'll find the answer on some forum but the archwiki is so good that it helps not only to fix sutff, but also to learn stuff lol. That's been for me the benefit. (That and also the pac-man-like animation when updatind the system lol). Thanks for the answer!
CatchyOS is based on Arch, so it shouldn't be too hard. I have never used CatchyOS so this is from the perspective of a Fedora user who used ArchInstall.
Arch is quite barebones in the sense it doesn't do GUIs for install and shit, it is terminal centric, that being said it is very fast and efficient and effectively you build your own set up (even in archinstall). Here's what I will say though (idk how much you've looked into it or what your skill level is)...
- If your installing over wifi,
iwctlis how you connect to a wifi network. There's plenty of tutorials on this and there's the Wiki, so there's that. It's actually a piece of piss once you understand it. archinstallis your friend.- File systems look confusing? Just use btrfs.
- In Audio systems you can choose what audio system you want, but I just use pipewire.
- Don't forget to set your network options to "network manager".
- Under profile, you can choose if you wanna set up a desktop, server, or whatever and in
desktopyou can choose whatever DE or WM you want. You won't get the full suite like with other distros, but you will get enough to operate your choice. waybarisn't installed automatically of if you are installing hyprland or such, bare that in mind. You will need this to access the nm-applet. Also you can fix the missing symbols in waybar by installingotf-font-awesomeeither before inAdditional Packagesor after withsudo pacman -S otf-font-awesome- You can choose from the whole archlinux package repo in additional packages and here you can install anything additional you might need. I would recommend
flatpakif you can't find what you want via pacman, whatever VPN you use,steam, a browser (take your pick) andwaybarandotf-font-awesome. - The wiki and DuckDuckGo are your friends.
- If you are not used to WMs but wanna use one, install a DE as a backup.
- Every morning/every evening/before you shut down for the night, open up a terminal and type
sudo pacman -Syuto look for updates and install them. There's no "Updates available" notification for system shit here.
Oh I'm so saving this in case I want to try it out! Thanks for the detailed answer! I'll problably install Arch on an old laptop that's been laying around for too long and see how it goes :)
Back in my day we had Unix beards, unkempt hair and no sense of fashion.
Then all the sysadmins transitioned :3 /j
Im boxing with fedora at the moment myself. I hate that arch was easier.
Ubuntu frustrates me more than arch.
Arch has glorious documentation. That is literally the only thing that blows me away about it.
Arch wiki is so good itβs useful even when youβre not on Arch
I fall pretty squarely into the script kiddie category compared to a lot of people on here and arch wikis has been an incredibly valuable resource.
βI want to do X like Y. Surely someone much of done this by now.β Arch wiki: βfunny you should mention that. Here is free documentation that is pretty up to date, has lots of detail and examples, but donβt drown you.β
Seriously, I look at red hat and debian documentation and little ADHD brain hamster just strokes the fuck out on his wheel. Arch wiki is a comfortable ride. Itβs justβ¦digestible if that makes any sense.
I like the way packages are made. Such a simple and elegant system
Dude I just discovered fedoras dnf rollback feature and I about shit myself.
what's your issues with fedora? every time in installed it, i had no problems.
