But are the thigh high socks provided or must I purchase them separately?

[–] [email protected] 110 points 1 month ago (2 children)

You'll know you completed the installation successfully when you look down and see the socks have materialised

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 month ago (2 children)

TIL that unix socks are actually a parasitic lifeform, transmitted via arch isos.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago

More of a symbiot than a parasite, it's not like the host doesn't benefit from them!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

That's why I only use my socks by proxy

Installing Arch makes you a Femboy?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's probably not mandatory, I imagine the arch wiki explains all the details

I really want one of those pairs, for my knees get cold in winters.

Guess I'll install Arch for a freebie.

Ordinarily I would be fine with this. I use Arch anyway. But an Arch system configured by somebody else? I'd be safer leaving my laptop at home!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

I think that's the idea - I love how this is a double entendre for those that know....

[–] [email protected] 82 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

If a laptop is left unattended long enough to do a fresh Arch install, it's probably been abandoned anyway.

Unnaproved software installation implies an obligation to provide user support... indefinitely.

The arch installing bandit is anonymous. Noone knows how to reach him

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Like the guy that installed Windows on your machine without you asking...

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That same guy started covertly encrypting users' data and then the fucking keys stopped working. I'll take zero support over that.

I head cannon the arch installation bandit as a girl.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Why is it "head cannon" and not "head canon"? You got some kind of gun strapped to your head that you keep stories in?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

Actually I think they mean that "as a girl" (meaning the commenter is a girl), they "head cannon" (meaning they use a cannon to shoot heads) "at the arch installation bandit". I hope this annotated version helps!

I head cannon the arch installation bandit as a girl.

Quaffing the potion of gender stability, now in your female form you strap on the head cannon and fire it at the arch installation bandit.

The arch bandit takes 5d7 damage and collapses prone. Seeing their leader defeated, the subordinate installation bandits flee. You have reclaimed Installation Cathedral from the bandits and can now invite the Installation Medium to summon the spirits of past operating systems.

If you wanted to truly punish them, install Debian Stable

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The real hell would be gentoo

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No way, at least Gentoo is up to date

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

not by the time it's done compiling, it's not

broken Nvidia Optimus free of charge

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Afaik Nvidia Optimus works fine on arch if setup following the wiki. It's mainly other distros that have Nvidia problems.

Easy. Buy a new laptop, let them upgrade from w•ndows to arch, then dump arch for something like MX or whatever else I use in the future. Then I wouldn't have to touch the default w•ndows installation forced into me.

Look, windows is bad, but we should reserve asterisks for actually bad things that require censoring in all circumstances, such as Br*t*sh or *ng*l*sh.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Using two asterisks makes things italic. You can only use one

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Just drop a \ in front of the first * and you're all good.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

dammit I should know this by now lma
