I've never seen something get so heavily downvoted.

Well done.

That was impressive.

Poisoned the well on more than both sides. Hah.

Heh. That was fun to try to read. Took a couple extra seconds.

Then I wondered how well an LLM would manage that... XD It's been going at it for minutes already.

Oh, it's done now...

Worked for 6min 27s

The text is upside-down. Flipping each character and reversing the word order gives:

I love you all with the Crime songs

[ps. preface warning: dangerous whimsy here... rtfm... don't dive in eager and blind and then "break" your system and come blame me.]

Debian user here. I want to switch to arch but dont want to troubleshoot my pc after each update. How do u folks deal with that?

I don't [switch]. Instead I [(having already thoroughly read through all the documentation several times)]

  • go to https://bedrocklinux.org/
  • click on Installation Instructions
  • click on the first from here link
  • scroll down select the correct line for my architecture, e.g. https://github.com/bedrocklinux/bedrocklinux-userland/releases/download/0.7.31/bedrock-linux-0.7.31-x86_64.sh and paste it to a terminal as target for wget, wget https://github.com/bedrocklinux/bedrocklinux-userland/releases/download/0.7.31/bedrock-linux-0.7.31-x86_64.sh
  • make it executable chmod +x bedrock-linux-0.7.31-x86_64.sh
  • run it ./bedrock-linux-0.7.31-x86_64.sh
  • run it again remembering the need to add --hijack
  • run it again remembering the need to run it as root. (... I know, I could just remember to do sudo and --hijack first time, but I like this silly ritual).
  • and type in the "Not reversible!", knowing how non-trivial a change to my operating system is about to happen in an instant.
  • reboot
  • enjoy seeing the new init select screen after the grub screen (albeit with only one option yet)
  • once back at a tty or once back in gui with a terminal emulator (... maybe after some more configuration tweaks, e.g. in /bedrock/etc/bedrock.conf), brl fetch arch
  • et viola, done. can do sudo apt update ; sudo apt upgrade ; sudo pacman -Syu.

... And more likely I'd do brl fetch void ; brl fetch gentoo ; brl fetch -r ceres -n ceres devuan ; brl fetch artix. But ^ that's for if "I want to switch to arch but dont want to troubleshoot my pc after each update."

Could also do frequent brl copy arch arch-fallback-(date) or some such, so then if something goes wrong with an upgrade, you could just carry on unperturbed, or even disable the stratum that had something go wrong, or even delete it, and brl rename arch-fallback-20260806 arch, and carry on with your day, sure it'll resolve the upgrade properly next time tomorrow. ;)

But of course, this is a bit overkill, like starting a huge complex science and production logistics project just to crack a nut.

But it is my honest answer of how I deal with that. ;)

So feels like it.

Would be nice.

Can we pick this up again from 2005?

[–] Digit@lemmy.today 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I wear a fedora, and I've used nearly any and all distros as my daily driver, except fedora.

It's so confusing.

[–] Digit@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago

Reminds of the ol' Churchill line... "Democracy is the worst form of government, except all the other types of government."

[–] Digit@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago

I didn't think it even applied to suse

[–] Digit@lemmy.today 1 points 14 hours ago

More true than many realise.

[–] Digit@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nice notion.

But then...

The other replies.

[–] Digit@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not very.

Especially for suse. Huh?

that'll be fun once the AI finds out how expensive the CEO is

 

Made this on a whim, while commenting on that other recent Arch related post... the tamagochi one.

It's been years since I actually used Arch. I hear much has changed (~ like it has an easy installer now?). Does it still itch to faceplant from time to time, needing rescue or abandon? Does Arch still faceplant itself?

How long have you managed to keep an arch going? How many times needing rescued back to being bootable in that duration?

[And would have posted this from that account, but that lemmy.wtf instance is tempramental, currently 504ing again. Glad I recently made this alt account so I can still post this and carry on with life.]
