Isn’t Snikket just a fork of Conversations for Android? It doesn’t look like it’s any better either.

Conversations+Prosody all the way.

I can.

And I will.

I’ve got your modest mouse.

Right.

Here.

instead of using a CLA, which he was aware of. Props, I guess.

With this sentence here, you brushed off a very valid reason to not use a CLA, and then failed to mention that reason in your comment.

He specifically said he is against taking copyright away from the developers that wrote the code. The way you commented on the CLA issue reads as though you intentionally left this part out, as his legitimate reasoning for it would go against your views on the matter.

Please accurately represent the people you are quoting next time.

Pretty sure KDE’s Discover store hooks into Debian’s repos just fine too

Check the timestamps on those posts

But why Armageddon over World Party though? World Party was the same game but with way more features

I wonder how hard it would be to port the linux driver to windows

I too would rather have an F-droid version instead of having to use Obtainium. There is additional inherent trust by going through F-droid’s process.

Back your settings up and restore them then.

People who talk about it like this are people who probably value a few things:

• learning (in general)

• self-improvement

• deep understanding over their system

• control over their belongings

• trust/safety in their system

DIY distros naturally provide these things by forcing you to go through their manual install process.

Think about it like how Goku always finds ways to get stronger and better at what he does by sheer effort.

Its basically the difference between buying a consumer car with automatic transmission and self-driving vs putting together a kit car that has manual stick shift.

Ubuntu and fedora and the like, like the modern consumer car, just does everything for you with little hastle. But you might not know anything about how it works and have to call a mechanic to fix it.

Arch and Gentoo and the like, like kit cars, give you granular control over your system, can sometimes be a lot more powerful, is tuned to your specific needs, and most importantly: you learn. You will rarely if ever have to call the mechanic because you know how to just go in and rip and replace or tweak the faulty part.

You can obviously learn to work on your consumer car and start tuning and tweaking it, but you’re not fully in charge.

There are different usecases for different people. For the people who like Arch, installing everything yourself is a value-add, to us it means the system gets out of our way. You set it up one time and it just works.

I put together my install over 6 years ago and have had to do next to no maintenance since then with regular updates.

Dude I literally addressed your concern in my post by saying its not for everyone. You are deliberately choosing to ignore that part in order to fulfill your own agenda, or because you just want to be cranky about something (or maybe both). Have you had your morning coffee yet?

I suppose that for an automatic out-of-box experience this is true and probably what most users want, but again if you’re savvy (which I recognize is not the case for most users, making Arch not viable for everyone), Arch is equally hardware-compatible and with the AUR even moreso in some cases. There is no automatic driver installer on Arch, but that’s because there is no automatic anything installer - you’re expected to research and maintain it yourself (which is excellent for learning linux by the way).

It gets rebranded a lot, was PowKiddy for a while

I agree with the immutable bit, but Arch is literally what Valve develops against for Proton and their other services, so as far as compatibility goes it would reason to stand that as long as you are capable of actually maintaining an Arch install, you would be at most-compatible on it.

There are literal codes you can enter at the post office in the gamecube version to get this and play it. Or wherever you enter them at.

So we’re back to emoticons now?
