It's the Arch store, not the Arch store btw... Rookie mistake on your part, there.

Looks more like a rectangular store to me.

... people relate to this incident, right?

I don't even run arch but I'd be thrilled to stumble upon a Linux store this size. I now realize how much I want a stuffed penguin!

clearly using a beam—not an arch—as support

Ohhhh

How do you know a Linux user has been to the Arch store? Don't worry, they'll tell you.

The real arch store would be pretty basic. Everything in plain cardboard boxes - basically just the self-service area in IKEA.

I just use rEFInd because I never don’t have problems with grub.

I do don't have problems with grub because

, but point taken

Go to Arch Store

Point of sales computers all run Windows

I tried to check if this was true, but some guy was all like "sir, you're not supposed to be back here" and "please step away from the cash register" 🙄

At IKEA they put the whole kit with instructions in one box.

At the Arch Store there would be a bookshelf full of instruction sets and bins of loose parts that you'd have to collect after reading the instructions.

Which would be pretty cool cuz you could build just about anything.

You found the arch nemesis

There would be people wandering around saying things like 'hey I'm a total noob can I use this as a home server? ’. And greybeards muttering insults under their breath.

That's basically a Home Depot that also gives out construction plans for stuff...

I kinda miss living in St Louis

"I came in here to talk about Linux but all I got was this shirt!"

I GOT YOU

I went to FanExpo a few weeks ago, looking for the latest in fan technology. I was sorely disappointed, but I did get a signature from Brent Spiner and Dean Norris.

I'm more upset that the physical architecture of the entrance is not an arch or at least round as opposed to being a box. Lame as hell.

But!...did they open source the shirt designs?

Which is a decent idea tbh...

Exactly, I had a visceral reaction to this. How could you own an arch store and not feel completely offput by this? The apathy disgusts me.

NGL, I am tempted by some of those - but as a CachyOS user - would that just make me a poser?

Like, the equivalent of stolen valour? 😅

🤔 fuck.. You know, idk. I would assume so since they're just existing logos, but you meaning the vector files?

Go by some Avery labels and print out the logos. Then iron a couple onto nice cotton tees. Who'll know the difference?

Honestly, as a cheapskate, I've done this more than once. Only thing I can't do is embroider lol, so lil vinyl patch works. Just print a bunch at the same time to save labels 😅

Not only that the door way inst even an arch it's that post and lentil bullshit lol

It'd be like Legos, but with less pain when you step on it!

With the Ikea parallel, I'd love to see the Blåhaj version of Tux!

It's underneath the St. Louis Gateway Arch. Essentially the entire building is the largest arch you could hope for.

No long pink, pale blue, and white stockings?

I went into a store and couldn't find what I was looking for. I'm on Arch, btw.

you have to package all your purchases yourself.

Ay, St. Louis represent! It's a rare day when I see it online in the wild.

Then there's a bunch of people in the parking lot that are the most cantankerous, awkward, on the spectrum weirdos you'll ever meet. You can ask them questions... If you want more questions than real answers.

no thats gentoo store

And a lot of unsolicited opinions about what you plan to do
