That is a bunch of unnecessary noise just because an AI managed to code a working python code for you. Like that’d make your command “cursed” or some sort.

You will go back to your “usual” linux setup when you realize that most packages you set up with LFS are now broken and you’ll need to redo the whole process again.

t. arch linux minimal installation only master race

I don’t mind a little “change” every now and then, but still – “Sway” on my “potatoes” (Orange pi zero 3 and Orange pi 5 max) and “Hyprland” on my x86_64 PC.

How to become a hacker

Average Linux user: Hack the white house

Your mom: Install pi-hole

Dietpi user here. I’ve got a orange pi zero 3 w/ 1GiB of ram serving me nextdns under docker + playing a live stream 24/7 (via yt-dlp/ffplay) and it does its job just nicely.

Nice cherry picking/moving the goalpost, but that is not how refuting works. A PC at NASA has a much higher “threat level” than my Orange pi zero 3, just chilling on the background. Which means, a potential “security hole” may prove harmful for these pcs… but it’ll definitely not hurt me in the slightest.

And before you parrot with other links and/or excuses… yes, I’m not negating their existence. I’m just saying they are there… but, well… “who cares”? If anything, its much faster to set up my distro back up “just like never happened before” than performing any “maintenance” whatsoever. Again, “Common sense antivirus” reigns supreme here – know what you are doing, and none of these things will matter.

All you have to do is to install “Common sense antivirus”, pretty much.

Comparing a PC maintenance to leaving the keys outside the front door is too dramatic, to not say the least…

…unless you work at NASA and/or your PC is holding something too valuable/sensitive/high-priority for others to want to hack it “that badly” – which I (highly) doubt it.

You simply don’t do any maintenance whatsoever.

t. Got a arch linux install that I (rarely) perform “sudo pacman -Syu --noconfirm” and it works like a champ.

Here is me (still) hoping for arm64 to become mainstream just like x86_64.

t. I’m typing this on my orange pi 5 max. And the gap between this pc and a “typical” x86_64 one is almost nonexistant.

Been using Wayland since 3’ish years ago and my desktop experience has been really smooth – no crashes, errors or anything of the sort. Everything “just werks” just as if I were on Xorg instead. Even on a completely obscure/zero linux support single board computer (Orange pi zero 3).

• How to do the most basic things

How to search for a package: sudo pacman -Ss packagename

How to install a package: sudo pacman -S packagename

How to update: sudo pacman -Syu

How to remove a package: sudo pacman -Rcns packagename

How to clean old packages: sudo pacman -Sc --noconfirm

Arch linux installer (official): archinstall

…and that is (pretty much) all you need to learn to use Arch linux in an acceptable fashion. Now go ahead and give it a spin – you’ll love it.
