I use herbstluftwm. The configuration is straightforward and it fits my minimal needs.

In my experience, pirates who are annoyingly trying to find moral reasons to pirate are mostly the ones using text-heavy social media.

I prefer Mastodon over Twitter for microblogging. However, I didn’t use Twitter for microblogging, but to receive news (directly or at least officially) from game devs, directors and other creators.

That’s what I asked Annette.

If it’s your first distro, then it might be an overkill.

I’d first start out with a readymade distro, because maybe it already fits your needs and wants. If you get to a point where you spend a lot of time on rebuilding your setup or distro-hopping, then Arch can be considered.

(Not because you are lazy. I’m lazy, too, but maintenance isn’t much work, unless you’re running updates too infrequently. You should check the news before updating. Many users don’t and even then when you “break” something, it’s not too difficult to identity the problem and fix it with the great help of ArchWiki, the community and chroot.)

I know people mean it well and I respect that. But it’s a little indirect insult, when their first reaction is to assume that you feel bad about it and to patronize you.

Of course there are people with that mindset among short dating men who often aggressively blame women’s standards. So I try to be not too upset about it.

Yes, that is “fucked” up. The same way it is fucked up that not all VHS you once bought and own have been preserved without loss and none of them will forever. The same way it is fucked up that a software product you once bought and own won’t be updated to be usable with your requirements forever.

The mortality of a product does suck, but a) this isn’t exclusive to the greed of subscription services and b) you don’t need to use a product til the end of time to make it worth it. E.g. I don’t use Netflix anymore, but everything I was able to consume during my subscription was ridiculously worth it to me.

Why do I need to own them?

I don’t know the current state of Debian installation. But not too long ago, installing Arch Linux felt much easier lmao

Stop it! Violence is not the solution!
