But are the thigh high socks provided or must I purchase them separately?
You'll know you completed the installation successfully when you look down and see the socks have materialised
TIL that unix socks are actually a parasitic lifeform, transmitted via arch isos.
More of a symbiot than a parasite, it's not like the host doesn't benefit from them!
That's why I only use my socks by proxy
Installing Arch makes you a Femboy?
It's probably not mandatory, I imagine the arch wiki explains all the details
Fair point
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!
I think that's the idea - I love how this is a double entendre for those that know....
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
Like the guy that installed Windows on your machine without you asking...
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.
Why is it "head cannon" and not "head canon"? You got some kind of gun strapped to your head that you keep stories in?
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.
Is there an arch alternative for Yuki installs Gentoo?
The hell it does.
You've spent too much time talking to my family.
If you wanted to truly punish them, install Debian Stable
Yes, the crime of giving them a stable OS that once it is set up keeps working reliably for years to come.
The real hell would be gentoo
No way, at least Gentoo is up to date
"Punish"? See how they react when they boot into TempleOS.
Oh, only Linux? There's always Hannah Montana or North Korea Linux...but that'd be giving a foreign dictatorship a botnet node...
In which case I was gonna say "Well an NSA-friendly OS would be funny" but then we're just back to Windows!
Does Carmen San Diego work there or something?
Its redhat, nyuk nyuk nyuk. https://www.redhat.com/en/technologies/linux-platforms/enterprise-linux
Or maybe Carmen is a Linux user idk i just work here man.
Good work, gumshoe.
broken Nvidia Optimus free of charge
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.
Using two asterisks makes things italic. You can only use one
Just drop a \ in front of the first * and you're all good.
Kinda wish someone would do this to me, because I'm never going to balls to do it myself
Where do I drop them off?
Hint: :q!
