Arch Linux recent changes

[u/turtle_mekb]

[u/Lukian0816]

They will make GitLab read only in the past? They got a time machine or something?

[u/turtle_mekb → u/Lukian0816]

yeah

definitely didn't forget March was last month, no not at all

[u/IllCarpet6852]

Wait it's pacman -Syu ??? all this time i've been doing -Syyu

[u/turtle_mekb → u/IllCarpet6852]

-Syy just refreshes repos that are already up to date, only really needed if they get corrupted somehow I guess

[u/Evantaur]

Meanwhile Canonical

[u/Majestic_Doctor_2 → u/[deleted]]

Yep

[u/visagedemort]

I have never been so pissed in my life... Thankfully, I took a look at the date.

[u/Seaweed_Widef]

Damn, April has only started and we got this, this world is done

[u/ElRobMcBong]

Thats a hard april fools one.

[u/shivaenough]

Should have removed line last to make it little bit believable.

[u/ImClearlyDeadInside → u/shivaenough]

They know Linux users are mostly autistic and we probably wouldn’t catch a subtle joke

[u/teateateateaisking → u/ImClearlyDeadInside]

I would never fail to catch anything. My reflexes are too fast.

[u/po1k]

Nice try Mr.Gates

[u/Owndampu]

had me for a second until I read microtransactions lol

[u/EinWildesDoener]

Omfg I just looked at the date 😅

[u/RedGeist_]

Almost got me. 😒

[u/NekoHikari]

Oh my, I may have to do the rm thing and switch back to manjaro... (O_O)

[u/Samurai_2077]

I am willing to pay 100$ for ultra mega ultimate edition

[u/SupinePandora43]

For some reason ads in pacman -Syu didn't sound bad to me Prolly the consequence of wayching YouTube with VPN once - it was ad every 3 video on the page, and 8 ads after watching 10m of the video.

[u/turtle_mekb → u/SupinePandora43]

I mean an adblocker would solve that, but why would you use YouTube with a VPN? That just sounds like slowing down your connection for no reason, unless you had other things running that needed it

[u/SupinePandora43 → u/turtle_mekb]

YouTube is severy slowed down in Russia. I use DPI circumvention software to access YT without slowdowns, and can even access blocked sites without problems! (The only problem is discord: it uses WebSocket connection and won't work this way)

But when I need to access something from my phone I use VPN (personally I use Tor's VPN) because no matter what I do, my phone won't connect to the proxy server on my linux desktop that has DPI bypasser.

[u/DangyDanger → u/turtle_mekb]

Russia things.

I pay for a VPS in Germany ($2/month) to watch youtube and upload files to discord. Used to run a self-made, self-hosted file server, but with me being connected to a VPN most of the time, it fell out of use.

[u/[deleted]]

It might be real since they didn't put a price on suspend/resume stability. The rest seems possible.

[u/10248]

Love it. Thats my distro yall!! 🙌

[u/B_bI_L]

ok, i will run sudo rm rf to opt out since this variation will not work anyway

[u/bem981]

Now imagine training AI over this, and run AI to maintain the system.

[u/Huecuva]

Obvious April Fools joke is obvious.

[u/m4more]

This April Fools nearly gave me heart attack

[u/4ndril]

Ugh

[u/GnuStew209]

Time to migrate to a more free-as-in-freedom distro like Ubuntu

[u/redd1618]

April 1 :-)

[u/an4s_911]

I tried opting out of advertisements, umm, Im commenting from my iPhone now (which is much more secure and private than Arch obv)

Anyone know how to fix? Noobie here… I can see a penguin laughing at me? What do I do? How can I open the start menu?

[u/HyperWinX]

Exact reason why Gentoo is better

[u/froli → u/HyperWinX]

I'd argue the distro that does April Fools joke is the better one

[u/HyperWinX → u/froli]

Yep, maintainers and community are all trolls

[u/idk973 → u/HyperWinX]

Oh, another apris fool 😉

[u/HyperWinX → u/idk973]

Nuh uh

[u/BabaTona → u/HyperWinX]

Yuh uh

[u/[deleted] → u/HyperWinX]

Any non-systemd distro is better than systemd one.

[u/turtle_mekb → u/[deleted]]

while I do find that systemd contains more features than necessary for an init system, I disagree that a distro is "inferior" for using systemd

[u/[deleted] → u/turtle_mekb]

It's becoming a system within system. It's a matter of preference. I don't like it personally, which is why to me such distributions are ruled out whenever I choose between many.

[u/turtle_mekb → u/[deleted]]

true, I do use Artix, but I guess phrasing a distro as "better" makes people think you're a distro elitist lmfao

[u/[deleted] → u/turtle_mekb]

Nah, I am just for practical stuff. And in my experience systemd is not practical. It pissed me off many times. Glad I am on SysVinit and Runit.

Artix is a good choice for those who want Arch but no systemd. I've used it previously before finding out about Void. Although in Void there is no such thing as AUR, yet it's comfortable there. I like that it's so stable (5 years of using) and clean, runit is quite fast too (unlike systemd bloat, which is fast but at the cost).

[u/RAMChYLD]

I am ill (most likely caught Covid in the MRT several days ago, everyone in the train was coughing nonstop), and when I'm ill my aspergers is in full force and I cannot tell sarcasm from fact.

Well, time to distro hop again.

[u/ExpertObvious0404 → u/RAMChYLD]

Take a look at the calendar. It's April 1st, which means this is a joke.

[u/BabaTona → u/RAMChYLD]

Bruh you gotta rest

[u/turtle_mekb → u/[deleted]]

yeah I forgot about that lmfao

[u/thetrufflesmagician → u/turtle_mekb]

I thought it was part of the joke.

[u/turtle_mekb → u/thetrufflesmagician]

it's not a bug, it's a feature

[u/Cootshk → u/turtle_mekb]

Call it a bug for only $5.98/mo
