As far as I’ve heard, manjaro is notorious for its AUR “support” so no wonders. For me on my EndeavourOS setup its as easy as running “yay -S *package name*” to install one or just “yay” to update everything and then everything just works.

lol.

then trying to find the correct commands to install it, then installing it the wrong way because your distro actually uses this other package manager

this single quote gives me understanding that you don’t know what you’re talking about. You literally making the shit up right now. If your system uses other package manager, the command simply won’t run.

what’s about googling stuff, there are literally wikis for every major distribution, and they’re more than enough to install drivers (which this topic is all about) to any of their derivatives. I agree that having an ability to use official site is good, but this option is still as available if you’re on linux. Its just so that it is not an option on windows, it is the only way, and it’s annoying. Making a clean install? Be a dear, make sure to speedrun all this clownade with installing your proprietary drivers and software, don’t forget to also draw a pentagram and provide some virgin blood in order to disable windows defender, annoying af automatic updates and realtime protection. Thank you Microsoft, I’m not stupid, i’ll manage myself to not to download that sus af software, you don’t have to use half of my pc resources just to regularily scan the file system on potential viruses.

In previous paragraph i have mentioned updates. Yeah, you either won’t get any, or they’re annoying af, and i’m not even talking about famous windows system ones (yeah, java?)

“sudo pacman -Syu” is the only command i have to run now to update literally everything all at once without it taking half an hour or a necessary reboot. You don’t even have to stop what you were doing, as noone cockblocks you with a fucking loading screen.

yeah, except that you have to find the official site, find there the model of your tablet, go on its page, finally download the driver. Only after that i can doubleclick on the installer and click yes half a dozen times. Also, no automation at all. I could write a fucking script that completely transforms any linux into my own one with all the programs and environment i like. There’s even an OS that functions that way: in nixOS everything done through single config file.

No dumb extra clicks. Also, no obscure “install opera” checkmarks or some similar shit, and noone treats you like you’re mentally deranged. Frankly, it felt so refreshig for me. Like i’ve finally breathed in some fresh air after decades of pure CO2

EndeavourOS is as simply installed as Ubuntu, even better, considering last time i tried, ubuntu installer gave me some weird errors few times. I think EndeavourOS is actually the best for noobs because of AUR and yay. AUR is supperior to all that PPA stuff. Not to mention the great ArchWiki. All Ubuntu has is forums, not so comprehensive. Mint has even less comprehensive answers on its forum, and they’re a lot often outdated. And not all answers from the ubuntu ones are relevant for mint. Opposing to them, what’s relevant for Arch is relevant for endeavourOS. Also, it comes in nice flavours, offered during the install process. Not to mention the “welcome” utility helping you make some initial tweaks.

how long ago have you used linux actually? And what distro you used, it had no webcam drivers? CollibriOS? The only time i had to install a driver, it was a graphic tablet one. You know, what did it take to do it? “yay -S opentabletdriver” to install it “systemctl --user enable opentabletdriver.service --now” to immediately enable it, and make it run at startup. It took more to install a proprietary one on windows.

If you actually will be going to, i could personally recommend EndeavourOS. Don’t fall for “Ubuntu is best for noobs”, it isn’t, and in my experience it lacks stability.

Also, if you’re not quite a mouse person, you could try tiling wms on your journey, like i3 or awesomewm. For me i3 is one of the major reasons to never return back. The ability to actually be able to do all you need with just a keyboard is huge for me, and something I was looking for even before switching to linux. Now floating wms and especially Windows itself seem so unhandy and irritating

Hey, non-FOSS internet, how is it going?

…

Yeah.

It literally is. Played Hunt: Showdown and Warthunder with no problems at all

there are 3 billion people playing videogames, most of them playing casual af shit like candy crush (https://explodingtopics.com/blog/number-of-gamers).

About “competitive” multiplayer games: have you tried proton? I myself was sticking with Windows untill i eventually tried it.

Linux is not a solution if you have a skill issue. The longer people have this kind of mindset you have, the longer Microsoft will pretend to be a monopolist, the longer they will behave like total shitheads towards their customers.

how was your Ubuntu experience? Because i always felt like it could break any time: all this PPAs, need to compile lots of stuff yourself and the release model in general haven’t quite worked for me.

I could recommend you to try EndeavourOS if you had somewhat similar problems. It works like a charm, since its an Arch derivative but without Manjaro’s problems, which means it has rolling release model, so you always get the latest version pacages, and it has AUR support, which means you won’t ever need to clone and compile anything from github, as there’s 99% chance it already has its AUR, so all it takes is to type “yay -S *package name*”. Not to mention the comprehensive ArchWiki. It also has an i3 flavor. I fucking love i3.

just wear them already

Finally, a someone with somewhat actually thought through opinion, not any ideological maximalist.

My main take is that capitalism is a shitty, yet reliable system that actually works through ages. I think that pure socialism is still too revolutionary.

What you said in your second paragraph is actually how I think about it. An engineering task. And in general, your opinion is something I can agree with.

P.S. I think, when social networks like lemmy will take over the corporative ones, we could discuss about socialistic revolution. All this fediverse thing kinda shows to people that you can be both non-profit and successful at the same time. Until then, we have what we have.

it stores it in ~/.steam

sir gay?

lol, text me when you feel like actually discussing the topic, because now all you’re trying to appeal to is emotions, not actual arguments. What you’re trying to do is called a demagogy. I came here to discuss the topic with people that are here for exact same reason as me, not to masturbate on my/their own ego.

this time i’ll pretend that you haven’t proven to be immature demagogist only trying to insult your opponent. If this continues, you’ll be ignored as someone who can’t say anything significant though.

Oh, you don’t have to - we can see for ourselves that it’s working perfectly. The rich are getting richer and the contemptible poors are getting poorer - as intended.

Whole my point was about the fact that we can make the rich to disappear as a class, even though it will take some time.

Blah, blah, blah… do you apologists have anything other than your pathetic (and thoroughly debunked) “human nature” fig leaf to hide behind?

And do you? Because humans are flawed, that’s fact. It’s completely fine, but untill they won’t, socialism won’t be the way socium naturally goes, therefore it will be by definition weaker than what we have now, ergo, it just won’t last. Untill you find a workaround for all such fundamental issues, your ideology continue to be a pure fantasy.

Weren’t you appealing to the “human nature” fallacy just a while ago?

Is it now “human nature” to have a job, too? What are the people who don’t have jobs, Clyde? Defective, eh? Perhaps… subhuman, maybe?

It is in human nature to be a part of society. If a grown man doesn’t have a job he’s basically an outsider. Maybe for you it will sound wild, but to have a job is to be a functional human. And given the modern day diversity and acessibility of education and jobs, i guess the guys have failed to fit in the society. It’s unfortunate and we need to think how make so there will be less people falling into this deathtrap, but i don’t see how socialism solves this problems. The homeless ones won’t become functional if they recieve a house, there should be a difficult process of their rehabilitation starting with psychological consultations for the least. They’re not subhuman, simply a poor lads in a bad situation. It’s all just not as simple as anybody would like to thik of it.

Anyway, you really haven’t thought of anythig better than to call your opponent a nazi? How unoriginal of you.

“Improving” capitalism, eh? So the poor aren’t poor enough for your tastes, eh?

you can continue to ignore what i say, and disprove the arguments you have imagined out of thick air, but i doubt you’ll convince anyone in your opinion that way, because it’s even more unoriginal demagogical move than calling your opponent a nazi. It’s calle strawman fallacy, and it just convinces everyone that your point is immature.

Wish you a good evening.

oh look! The “radicalistic hater” is there!

Go ask all the homeless people how their “personal objectives” are being treated.

Never claimed our current system is perfect. I dare you to ask homeless people how they lost their homes though. Lots of them were fooled by their own relatives, and a revolution totally won’t fix it. Also ask them why doesn’t most of them have any job.

I don’t know what would fix our greed and ego, which is essential to do, because socialism, the radical one, relies on altruism, and this is the main issue here: you be the most altruistic person ever, you’ll still get tired, feel underappreciated, lose your interest in the job you’re doing, in other words, you’ll still feel unjust, and lots of other people will feel that way. And that’s where it will start to crumble.

Also, dear centrist hater, what ideology should i follow? The socialism seem to be a utopian power-fantasy, capitalism is inhumane coprorative pile of shit. Everybody hates dictatorship, but democracy in its’ current state is just as messed. So in order for dictatorship to work, a genius guy should be sitting up there; in order for democracy to work, it should be a small amount of people, so it will be possible to moderate corruption and other shenanigans. The entire political compass is a huge pile of shit, my friend. That’s why whatever the current ideology is, is the one I actually support: it is simply the way of lesser blood. Given that some adjustments will be made (i would dare to say it will be sooner than later) and the system will become to be actually not that bad, also as it will be the point from which some even further movement to the left could be made, after a few generations pass. Untill then, folk’s mindset is not apropriate for socialism, and therefore it won’t work.

To summarize, there’s no point in “fighting capitalism with socialism”, because there is far more optimal wa, of making everyone’s life better by actually improving capitalism with socialism.

Socialism can be good, true, but don’t forget that it tends to care about the people as a uniform mechanism, and not as a set of individuals, hence it’s called socialism, and so it values global objectives alot more than the personal ones. Results of this fact can be somewhat dystopian, as the USSR has demonstrated. I know that USSR wasn’t a pure socialism, and many of their faults were made just because of, for example, poor management and constant lack of time, I simply want any person of any radical ideology to concider its imperfections, an that the ideal is always a bit closer to the middle of the ideological spectrum. Also, this facebook images are cringe.
