This is true. (always had installer, problems from haste & not reading).

It's like I was fine reading to do the installation, but it was like then I was done reading, for the ongoing management. This does indeed make the pebkac errors inevitable sooner. ... :/ I think, I see, why I read in gentoo, but didnt bother so much in arch... it's not just the colours... it's the pace. [Too easy to succumb to how, once past the installation, under use] Arch gets you accustomed to "now!" (/impatience). At least compared to old pre-binhost gentoo on older hardware.

Oh, and...

One of the harder and more involved processes and problems to solve was updating 6 years old abandoned install, took a few hours, because arch archive is pretty slow sometimes.

Restoring old gentoos to new is one of my fave geeky (~ and typically pointless) projects to undertake. ... Not sure I've done one as old as 6 years yet... but I do have one that's something like 16 years old. LOL. ... When I amass the spoons for such an undertaking, I may attempt.

I hit upon a lot of pebkac errors.

... Though, in hindsight, maybe some of the determinations of "pebkac error" may have been a bit gaslighty darvo to hide bugs anywhere in the stack including up to ux. "you didn't read the , so it's your fault" type of events. ... reminds of the post-it note that's there to save the world, then eventually it gets ignored, then eventually falls away, gets crumpled, dumped, forgotten...

Or Exherbo, for even more of that kind of fun.

Oh yes... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk3A41U0iO4 (keep watching. Is relevant.) [... and oddly relevant to my earlier suggestion list that also included emacs]

Reminds, there's mypaint too.

Yeah. Krita, mypaint, I neglect, living 99% of the time in gimp.

some suggestions for your consideration in order of empowerment and learning curve first,

  • AWK
  • ffmpeg (~ & imagemagick ?)
  • bash, zsh, or fish
  • kew (it's just a really simple nice tui music player, no fuss). (... "Am I the only fun one in Digit's list here?" -- kew)

n_n

Some other things that sprang to mind, (generally tending to more gui things, some distro/packagemenent things)... audacity/tenacity, fontforge, gimp, gentoo and portage, bedrocklinux and brl, peertube self hosting, forgefed self hosting, suckless.org's tools, CRUX or KISS/Carbs, just playing around in stellarium, playing around in pioneer space sim, learning how to evade humanity's detection as an ai in the game called singularity, ;3

Oh... Here's an idea for you... Learn a text editor.

Think it's not fun?

Depends on which text editor you pick, and how much the fun suits you. ... Emacs has so many things (including games, like tetris and doctor). Even neovim has some extra things (~ opencode runs on neovim... tho it's not the same, lol). Or maybe you want something simpler, like nano, mcedit, or fin (I wrote fin, don't use it, it's scruffy... and only able to do that from learning some of the things mentioned, and more).

Yay for learning. Yay for asking for what other fun things to learn. Good post. Good question. ... Sorry my answers were not better. Heh. Caught off guard, answered just what first sprang to mind. n_n Doubtless many other more fun things exist.

LMAO! OMIGOSH!

I cannot, in good conscience, vote this up, nor down. LOL.

Nothing has got me laughing as hard or as fast, for years.

I still can't upvote this. LOL. NOOOOOO! LOL. XD
