  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Screw that You're all great everybody from slackware to steam deck.

    [–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago (2 children)

    Steam Deck is weird. I mean, I love it, but coming from vanilla Arch it can be frustrating at times. Discover is terrible. Luckily, Distrobox is a thing.

    [–] uis@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Portage Prefix is a thing too

    [–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I wasn't aware of it. It's certainly an option, but Gentoo isn't for me.

    [–] uis@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

    Yeah. You can run Prefix even on Android. And then there is project SharkBait.

    [–] zaemz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I putz with Discover sometimes. Though I have no idea how it resolves package updates under the hood, as it often will produce a different manifest than running dnf itself.

    What would you like to see improved?

    [–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    I usually can't find what I'm looking for, so a larger catalogue would go a long way. I also had problems with some software versions. The one that comes to mind is that Firefox had behavior with the save dialogue that I don't like. It's a minor issue, but one that I don't have with the build in the Arch repo. I have a vague memory of something just not working, but I couldn't tell you what at this point.

    [–] zaemz@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    Ah, I see! Yeah, a bigger catalog would be nice. You can add more repositories to it, enable Flathub, which provide more options, but something about it does feel hamstrung.

    The Firefox thing is something I know about! You can set a config option in the about:config page to tell Firefox to use your desktop's standard dialogue. It has to do with XDG Desktop specifications, I think

    [–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

    It uses the system dialogue, but it starts from the same directory each time. If I'm saving files it's usually multiple files in succession, so I want the dialogue to start off pointed at the last directory I saved to. The Arch build does that.

    [–] zaemz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

    Ooohh! Interesting. You've got me curious about that now. I'll have to look into it.
