I would like someone to elaborate on how it feels to ‘build’ a system software by yourself with Arch and how it is reasonable to actually do so in a simple language.

It’s not for everyone. I did it in a VM to practice and decided it’s not for me. There’s options like Archcraft and EndeavorOS that get you up and running with varying minimum installs, but you are correct that it’s very minimal (on purpose). You get to decide what software goes on your system, and that’s the core of the philosophy; you should know what you did, so when a problem occurs, you know what parts might be broken and what to research.

The Arch wiki is vital for anyone who wants a modern Desktop experience, and there’s guides for pretty much everything, even down to switching to an immutable ostree setup. I have no idea how anyone might do it blind from scratch.

The setup is just a lot of sudo pacman -S <package name> and sudoedit /path/to/config. It’s not that different from making changes in other distros.

I’m less cynical about SCOTUS, but only because they aren’t a rubber stamp like the 5th Circuit. They are absolutely beholden to FedSoc and Conservative interests, but I doubt corporations want to be bound by clauses like this from some supplier they do business with, either.

To summarize differently, their argument goes that if you signed up for a trial of Disney+ (or some other such service), you agreed to an arbitration clause as part of the terms of service.

They are arguing that the arbitration clause therefore applies to everything Disney-related, even if it’s a service unrelated to Disney+.

I doubt this will stand a court’s scrutiny and will likely get tossed as unenforceable for being an unconscionable contract. Still, Disney sucks for even attempting such a maneuver, and it equally sucks that the US legal system is in such a state that they think this is a possible avenue for success.

Thank fuck for the NVK team.

Only recent issue I’ve seen from AMD folks is VRR problems via HDMI. No idea if that affects Nvidia users, but I’d imagine it’s a small subset of AMD users experiencing that.

I’m going to take a less cynical stance and say I’m looking forward to this. They didn’t file in Texas, so they won’t get that prized 5th Circuit rubber stamp big businesses desire, so the legal slap in their face will be glorious.

Nothing some happy thoughts and a Magic Wand can’t cure.

Some of his pieces genuinely look like the broken monitor my blind friend had. That’s not a bad thing, just an observation.

It’s very interesting. I’m still learning about it all, too…

You can make a custom distro based on one of the Universal Blue or Fedora Atomic images.

You could also go to the bleeding edge, make a Containerfile, and use bootc and podman to build a bootable container.
