Tried i3 a few years back. Never went back. Fucking love it. Would like to ditch X for Wayland soon though. Need to move to Sway but a bunch of scripts depend on X.. Probably wouldn't be too much of a nightmare to transition, but for some reason I've been putting it off for years.
Arch is aimed at people who know their shit so they can build their own distro based on how they imagine their distro to be. It is not a good distro for beginners and non power users, no matter how often you try to make your own repository, and how many GUI installers you make for it. There's a good reason why there is no GUI ...
People are recommending arch to beginners? This is genuinely the first time i hear of this trend and Ive been into linux for over 20 years now.
Not once have I heard arch pushed to beginners at my local LUG or any LUG ive attended in other cities or countries.
People usually recommended Ubuntu in the past or Mint. Occasionally Fedora. Then Elementary had some steam. Nowadays the landscape is much more diverse I think.
Maybe there is some folks on the internet who get a kick out of recommending hard things to people who need easy things. To gatekeep and create an exclusive feel. But i think if youre seeing that regularly then you need to reasses where youre spending time. Because core Linux culture has never been that since i can remember. We have always embraced that different distros are appropriate for different use cases. And that has always been our strength.
Yeah that latter part of "it was easy for me" in particularly stinks of the elitist attitude i was mentioning. I think its a sign of someone thats not really trying to help but rather to make themselves seem smarter.
If you see lots of it here then I guess this post is fair. But i will standby my remark that if you're seeing a lot of this kind of mentality then you need to reasses where you are hanging out...
Maybe go to a local LUG instead. People are a bit more desperate to actually help others at those usually.
You may well be right. People do like to do a bit of armchair neuroscience now and then. I suppose im not too bothered on whether it's due to dopamine or something else. Just the mood swings are a concern for fear.
If I'm honest I'm not sure what shots they take or whether they are getting tested. But they do see an endo regularly, so I do believe the situation is being managed/monitored.
I think I wasn't seeing decaf roasts at local specialty roasters in the past... But then again it wouldn't be the first time I discover I've been living in the cave.
Thats interesting. I didnt know that. Personally i have a disappointingly low bar of tolerance for acidity so im usually on the medium/light-medium roasts.
I know its intimidating but getting a managed instance of nextcloud somewhere like Hetzner is really straight forward. You wont have to do much if any admin past the initial setup.
But services like Proton are a Swiss alternative to a lot of these cloud services.
You're right. Everybody is just being dramatic and pretending they can't afford to own a home. Especially the people having their homes repossessed. They are the biggest fakers of all.

Do you know roasteries that sell decaf coffee beans?
I’d like to brew coffee more often, occasionally in the evening, but I can’t because of caffeine, also I know people who definitely feel much worse effect I would be glad to offer a good pour over to sometimes, so I’m looking for some websites which sell a decent selection of decaf beans, preferably treated with the Swiss water process. Also I live in Italy so due to recent events it would much more convenient to buy from European sources

Can we please, PLEASE for gods sake just all agree that arch is not and will never be a good beginner distro no matter how many times you fork it?
