To be fair to Motörhead, they were drinking some beer that had umalats in the name, and just thought they looked cool, so they threw them in. The band had no idea that umalats denoted a difference in pronunciation.

Interesting, I'll keep that in mind for if I go for a RAID setup, but for now it's just my one drive on BTRFS, the other one is ext4.

Arch isn't unstable, I just keep breaking things in my ignorance. The only thing in this scenario I could pin on Arch is that the "ca-certificates" package should have been marked as a dependency for pacman, but I guess it's not strictly a dependency, as you can use pacman to install stuff from a local repo. Definitely for Firefox, though, as you can not browse the internet without the certs.

Could be, seems to me that BTRFS didn't match the subvolid between @home and what it expected @home to be in the fstab, but I won't claim to be an expert lol

Yeah, I could see it being a good server OS, but otherwise NixOS seems like it's on the "immutable" thing that's popular right now. I've tried a few immutable distros, and they're not for me, I end up layering everything anyways lol

Idk about all that, it's been fine for me, just a little misconfiguration here. The compression just saved me a bunch of storage space, so I'm kinda in btrfs' corner right now lol

LMAO I was unaware of this! That's hilarious!

I like to tinker, plus I can be absolutely assured that every problem with my system is 100% my fault, which actually makes it easier to track down any problems. But the main reasons people use Arch is probably the rolling release model and the AUR.

Absolutely brilliant 👌

I'll be using it mostly for gaming, possibly self-hosting various things as I think about them. I'd like it to be mildly future-proof, but I'd also like to cut the price down a bit. Right now it's going to cost basically my whole tax refund, and if possible, I'd like to save some of it to further my education.

I'll be using Linux (don't know what distro yet, but that's another post for another /c/), hence the all-AMD build.

Thanks in advance!

Wasn't expecting copaganda in my game today, but here we are

 

If anyone could tell me how to change the system font color, I'd be much obliged. tips cowboy hat

 

Came up with this during the two days I mistakenly tried to start a new career.

 

For backstory: My partner and I have been playing Super Mario Party so long that it's gotten boring. They asked me what I wanted for my birthday (which is coming up), and I thought something like that would be cool. If X-COM 2 had a local co-op on the Switch, I'd do that, but is there something similar?

 

I'm sure it's not the radiation...

 

I can see saved posts all day, but saved comments, well that's an issue. It was easy on the previous iteration, just wondering why I can't find it now.
