Let off some steam, bennet!

100% this. Do what you need to do.

Yeah. Actually i admire your human spirit. Taking so much crap and still not letting it beat you down. I honestly dont know how it would transform myself if I was subjected to it. You are talking to someone who always had a cushy office jobs in IT their entire career, well paid, in Sweden.

I havent come close to suffering the way you have in my career.

Not where I live, but I think it depends. In madeira it was absolutely too high.

Obviously the speed limit is not perfectly set in all places. If you have travelled and driven a car, you quickly realize this.

People are absolutely not reckless drivers because they go 10 over the speed limit, as a general rule at least. But like I said, depends on the country a lot.

I also feel deep sadness over it because its just so incredibly unfair and evil.

Wtf are you guys eating over there… Jesus christ, I wonder why Americans seem so crazy. Artificial food, artificial media, Artificial work culture…

And two weeks vacation, maybe, on a full year of work… What? And still no money in the wallet at the end of the day?

I watched a video last night about an American guy that was just losing it, and rightly so:

Watch five minutes of that and be happy if you are European, I guess.

Probably in the future, they will gene manipulate every kid so they all look like models.

Companies need hell of a lot more then virtual machines today. I dont use it personally either but would i recommend a company to buy their own hardware? No. I would say they should use AWS because they can afford it and it gives them access to hundreds of services. Its rare to see technical issues.

The value for a company is actually enormous, to have something like that at their fingertips.

Todays downtime is forgotten in a few days and it was a big one.

Yeah. :) 100% tariffs on data transfers out of American Web Services…

Leta give it to Trump and Elon Musk, they will take good care of it… Lol.

Trump will isolate aws to America only, claiming other countries are ripping him off.

Aws becomes American Web Services.

You didnt waste those hours, you learned something.

Just ask people here, people just love anyone who switches over to Linux and want to learn about it. Because we actually love this operating system. Its so good.

When my kid started using Linux, once he knew how to start programs and install things, we went through where the files are on the file system and how to get there in a terminal. I think thats a good starting point so you understand the foundation of the system.

And then go though a basic Linux command line tutorial to learn about the common tools for listing files, filtering results, renaming and deleting files etc.

You can do that stuff in a graphical file manager too but you dont really get that understanding of how things work until you do it in the terminal.

You wanted a real arch distro?

I pretty much cant run anything else, i get so frustrated with all the workarounds that are simply not needed on arch. It has native packages for almost anything.

Yeah of course, you have to understand when you can drive faster. Not on those roads.

I was in madeira and there they have these very narrow roads, and people drove like crazy there. I was actually under the speed limit on those roads and thats unusual.

Thats great but im not sure its very specific to bazzite. Ive been gaming on arch for many years and all games work, pretty much. :)

Have you tried to install apps from the arch AUR? Im curious if they follow the system theme and if they are found by the system launcher as ordinary apps. They are running in a container so i wonder if that makes them behave differently. Flatpaks can have the same issues.

Nobody can be smarter than Lemmy teenagers… :)

But this is an actual fact… People who drive under the speed limit are bad drivers. Either they are not paying attention to speed signs, or they are scared to drive a car. Both are not great for a driver.

Also slow cars are causing accidents because they frustrate people into doing stupid things.

At least people who drive fast have confidence in their abilities to read traffic. But its also stupid if they drive way too fast and cant handle it. That also causes accidents.

So I would say, a bit faster than the speed limit is perfect. Doesnt annoy anyone, still very safe. I often drive 10 km/h faster then speed limit.

I think people just dont know how good it is. The apt system with fixed versions is super annoying compared to arch. I have never felt that i need to stay on some old version of software ever. Sure there has been a few times when some version is bugged and then I just stayed on a old version for a few weeks, which is very easy to do with pacman.

Im almost envious of you… I did that like 15 years ago and there is so many fun things to run and learn. So many desktop environments, tiling window managers, programming languages, ricing attempts…

I used arch almost all the time, with just a few times trying other distros to see what they are about. But nothing is as good as arch, mostly because of the AUR and its excellent docs.

Now bazzite is the new hot thing so could be fun to try that I guess, but dont want to remove my lovely arch.

Distrobox seems to be a container… I wonder how well that works with applications following system themes and being able to be seen in app launchers.

Its interesting but my experience is that usually you do get some issues with solutions where apps are not native.
