Oh no, Sxan speaks English. They just use the wonderful letter thorn þ instead of th most of the time.

Instead of using a video format as a modern replacement, can't we just invent a better Gif format? Gif is somwhere inbetween picture and video formats. Maybe a simple container with a meta & settings file (speed & so on), similiar to comicbook?

Well there's APNG (animated png).
It's even "backwards" compatible with the regular PNG file format.

Yeah thats kinda my problem with arch.... ive never found it easy to use or useful. Every actual usecase other than it being "cool" is filled by distros much more adapted. Actually want a system from scratch? Gentoo. Want to make it deployable and dependable? Nixos. Want something rock stable? Debian. Arch never had any appeal for me(focus on me here).

arch is a little bit of each of those things

Yeah the documentation is just amazing. Even on nixos i often use the arch wiki to find things cause a lot of it applies to linux generally.

Yeah but the nixos Wiki is growing.

You could write down your findings in it.

I suggest to use the official one.

wiki.nixos.org

You want little bit of the ability to customize everything without having to compile from scratch every time? You want a well documented system that has excellent documentation and a community that digs into most edge cases? You want upstream fixes ASAP because your team of volunteers are struggling to backport fixes?

It has its place. I'm saying this as someone who uses Debian and red hat derivatives extensively.

To me slow roll, tumbleweed and fedora were good contenders for the same slot but none of them let you completely fuck around with the design like Arch does.

Yeah i get that, but also it has some huuuge problems. A very large part of arch users rely on the aur which is horrible from a security standpoint and in general for usability. If arch made its package distribution better it would be a really solid distro with a lot of merits. Of course if you get arround the package management woes its a good system to use. As for nix you dont actually re-build your system every time you change something cause you also do that technically when you boot, tho not in the sense of building software from source, it just links everything so its accessible.

I have an old laptop which I use to install various distros and play around with them. One time I tried to install arch. Like the very first step was to manually configure the network interface using some cli in some weird unknown shell environment provided by the installer. That sat there at that step untouched for a day or two, then I installed some other distro.

Uhhh
That's
That has not been my experience with Arch for maybe a decade

I think it's sort of a big problem to solve because there's no corporate backing or down stream derivatives contributing a lot back, making a fully curated repo hard to achieve. I wouldn't mind a fully vetted AUR either but I don't think the community can get there with the current resources.

Nix honestly sounds really awesome. When I tried it long, it kept on running into edge cases for things that weren't really working well like properitery drivers or old ass packages that needed a lot of workarounds. It sounds like it would be amazing on a server/vm.
