Is there any chance you're a chimera?

I just set

upd = <distro update command>
ins = <distro install command> 
pur = <distro purge command>
uin = <distro uninstall command>

in every distro, I don't know why you'd want package management to be distro specific commands

The short version of the story, wait until this has landed in your distro of choice, or you'll have flickering problems.

I would not assume in that situation that the person sending that link was trans even a little, I think you're in the clear!

Manjaro is truly the worst distro of all time and probably helps give arch a bad name

Yeah I noticed it wasn't actually working and for some reason assumed that it was because it crashed so many times that I ran out of waybars, so I added a million after that, and you're totally right, I know better than that, thanks!

Okay, first, to lay some groundwork, there have been many modes of production throughout history

first, there was hunter/gatherer societies, then feudalism, then capitalism

Then we have theories as to what could come next, according to the marxist viewpoint, the next thing will be socialism, and then after that, communism.

So, communism is a post-socialist ideology, the only requirement for it to be socialism is that instead of a bourgeois class and a worker class, they will become unified (doesn't matter how for the purposes of explaining this, but usually through violent revolution)

So, a socialist place would have the workers self-manage, people who work in a place would also have democratic control over that place in some way.

After that happens, for various reasons outside of the scope of an eli5, communism comes, communism is a post-socialist society in which the workers own the means of production (hence the socialist prerequisite), currency has been abolished, the state has been abolished (but not government, these are two distinct entities in socialist thought), and there are no class divisions whatsoever.

Part of the problems with discussions about these topics is that communist philosophers of old used terms in very different ways than the colloquial ways we use them today. I can expand upon this if you have any followup questions!

That's state capitalism, and has nothing to do with socialism.

The workers control the means of production under socialism, not the government, this makes it in no way socialist by any commonly used definition of socialism by philosophers.
