  • I haven’t used any of the arch install scripts but they seem to have regular problems. Doing it the usual way is a proper way to roll your own but it doesn’t give you options. You have to know what you want, or you have to know where to find out what exists.

    The guided installer is going to be important to a type of person we’re going to see more and more of: power users that know what they want to do, but for whom the Linux ecosystem is a foreign and fractous entity what uses entirely unfamiliar nomenclature.


















  • Windows 11 is a bridge too far. I’m done with having my operating system being sold to me as a service, or monetizing my usage. Windows 10 was already unusable in any format other than LTSC.

    The strides we’ve seen in gaming on Linux are possible largely with Valve’s support, and I might have made the jump earlier if we had those abilities sooner. Dual booting has never been a realistic use case for a computer given the way I use one.

    I try to protect my privacy as best I can. I prefer the use of open source software where I can get it. Libre is even better. My reasons are both practical and ideological. But I don’t live in a world where I can reasonably cut out all proprietary software, and I honestly wouldn’t consider trying. There are far more important fights in my world.
