My strategy when picking hardware to run Linux on with 100% success so far:

1. Wait about 6 months before purchasing newly released hardware (new generation of GPU, network adapter...) to let drivers trickle down from the manufacturer to the kernel and then to the distribution.

2. If it has an Nvidia logo on it, leave it on the shelf.
For one, not putting every single edge case into the package manager makes the behaviour of the package manager easier to understand.

I bought the Shinobi. It is excellent, especially for ThinkPad and TrackPoint lovers.

Before the Shinobi, I used the Lenovo external Thinkpad keyboard [1] (old model, SK-8855), which is now extremely unavailable.

I also have the X220 and 6 (!) replacement keyboard inlays -- they fit into both the X220, and the SK-8855. I bought that many to have a lifetime supply of quality keyboards in case they become unavailable (which they now are), but I always wished somebody would go and make an infinitely-repairable, mechanic external ThinkPad keyboard replacement independent of Lenovo's whims.

Then TEX did exactly that.

Also, the maker of the device, Justin Wu, is super responsive via email and answered all my technical questions.

Now the only thing I need is frame.work to team up with TEX to bring such keyboards to laptops. I already lobbied for that here: https://community.frame.work/t/what-keyboard-options-will-be... Maybe you can help me lobby :)

That is another valid point, I find that disorienting.

So don't use Arch. Use Debian.
The lede is a bit buried here - they fired the captain, XO, and COB (COB is a senior enlisted position, not an officer).
I think you're confusing Arch with Gentoo or something - the Arch package manager is not from-source, it ships binaries just like apt. Perhaps you're thinking of the AUR, which does usually just host the PKGBUILD which you run makepkg on directly to compile, but that's analogous to something like an Ubuntu PPA, not the core package manager.

The main thing that people like about it is the rolling release model; new packages for virtually everything are updated within hours or days of an upstream release, with incredible practical stability.

> > Before upgrading, users are expected to visit the Arch Linux home page to check the latest news, or alternatively subscribe to the RSS feed or the arch-announce mailing list
> Like... why?

That's very much a "cover-your-ass" type disclaimer, like a ToS that says you have no right to expect anything to work. In practice, 99.99% of upgrades work completely unattended, and in the .01%, you see a failure, you go to the News site and it says "sorry, we made a backwards-incompatible push, please delete this path before upgrading" or something like that, you do it, and then everything is fine again for another 18 months.

Arch still has the vestiges of this reputation as a wild-west distribution for reckless code cowboys, but in practice it is the de-facto "set it and forget it" distro. I spend literally 10x less time worrying about my distribution and package manager when I'm on Arch then on any other computing system I've ever encountered.
Arch is great, although I think fedora does a much better job at providing a no-nonsense Linux workstation and would make for a smoother transition from macOS.

My school had mandatory art class till 5th grade, and I imagine more schools had some mandatory art class. Yet, I have not really practiced any sort of coloring or painting since my last art class.

I am not sure what this similarity with mathematics means for either mandatory art or math classes, but perhaps there is something to consider in our arguments.
PHP has a similarly low barrier to entry, but doesn't seem to suffer as much as JS.

Perhaps because dependencies are more curated in PHP due to clusters of dominant frameworks, rather than a proliferation of smaller libraries.
Not my problem. Fuck them if they want to force me to consume. Remember that they want you to pay them to play content in the background , something every general-purpose multitasking computer could do before.
Sometimes when visiting arch forums the undertone is a little gatekeep-ey and people asking for more beginner friendly ways to install software like GUIs or AUR helpers are responded to with answers like 'You don't. You compile it yourself from the command line'.

You can spec the 14” & 16” to well past $4k also.
Its not just the initial setup that's painful with Arch, the whole rolling update model means things break often and I no longer have the patience to patch them. But I do agree that linux provides a better env for development compared to macOS. On Ubuntu atm and works like charm with flexibility to extend it as I like.
So put them into high security or solitary confinement. You call that unrealistic, but it's handled like that in tons of places all over the world.

We've been seeing this situation sliding for years, people are talking about a new cold war, I think it might be worse than that.

Many observers saw World War II coming for afar, it did not change much, and from my perspective, trying to avoid it only made the Nazi more powerful. (Daladier, Chamberlain, Munich)

Taiwan is independent enough to be formally recognized by the European Parliament as such.

What is China going to do? Put all the MEPs on the Taiwan supportes list? Good luck to them. The EU is most likely going to do the same with top Chinese officials.
I also still use my ThinkPad X220 happily with Archlinux. Contrary to the author I've built in immediately an OEM IPS-Panel and a Bluetooth 4.0 chip from the next generation. I bought it very late in production cycle because I prefer to keep the classic keyboard with the blue enter-button. The only nasty thing is the USB 3.0 Port which immediately went into sleep states, workarounds are either to connect a device at boot-up or use powertop to wake it up. It is even possible to attach HiDPI displays via DisplayPort (always better than HDMI) but you will fallback to 30 Hz and the tiny GPU will have a hard time.

Pros:
* Mobile with A4/Letter form factor
* Powerful, with a dock it replaces a desktop computer
* Standard size keyboard
* IPS screen is still state-of-the art
* Replaceable battery
* Works very well with Linux
* With a i7 CPU even provides USB 3.0
Cons:
* Modern ThinkPads provide a tighter case, especially the palm rest

Upstream breaks your stuff, you roll into the incompatible release, getting to fix it yourself.

There's no fixed release schedule that promises total compatibility at the cost of running years old releases.
I'm sure that someone with enough knowledge of Arch Linux could have set it up properly, but I inherited multiple servers with three different distros (and the Ubuntu ones were on different versions). One of these was Arch Linux. It hadn't been updated in a long time, and the update simply failed. Once I got past that, it was going to break something (can't remember, but most likely the Python version). A little while later, it couldn't update anymore, because some file or package was no longer accessible. With Ubuntu (or Debian), you can at least install a new version even if some intermediate release is no longer downloadable. It's been a headache without any benefits from my point of view. By all means, run it on your personal servers, but it's an operational risk for an organization.

Not Arch, but macOS to Linux related.

As a developer, used macOS for 13 years. Switched to Ubuntu after Apple went to M1.

It's been pretty much flawless and required no more tweaks during setup than a typical macOS install would. Developing on the same environment as our servers is a massive plus.

The key is choosing the right hardware from the start. For my desktop, I chose an Asus TUF gaming motherboard that had everything Intel. For my laptop, I chose a laptop that is supported by the manufacturer, in this case a Dell XPS 13.

(Selecting the correct hardware is no different to creating a Hackintosh setup, but the hardware support is infinitely better)

My advice - start with Next.js. Only got started with React myself a year ago (and love it) and to be gone it’s I though, I’ll just stick to nice simple react I bet I don’t need the other stuff. And then, I gradually realised why people use all this other stuff. Next.js solves so many problems!
Absolutely. Your Oura and Apple watch, plus all other wearables are measuring data on a dynamic way, rather than the static we had all the previous years. Thus the insights are a much better indicator of your health, than what it used to be. From our customers we already see a strong development in the consumer wellness space !

When Warhammer and open-source collide, I'm always fascinated to see which aspect the discussion assumes deserving of attention: the miniatures, or the rules. The minis were historically protected by the rarity of injection moulding hobbyists, but in the era of 3d printing all bets are off. It's made easier by the casual Warhammer scene having long ago grown accustomed to "counts-as" models. Assuming it's around the same size and profile, you can use that WWII tabletop tank and call it a Leman Russ, so a Leman Russ with sliiiiiightly off dimensions or print quality is a shoe-in.

The rules, though, are a different matter. Warhammer 40k (the sci-fi variant) is a confusing blur of simultaneous, competing standards, controlled by an edition rulebook (which handles general gameplay rules and discussing physical aspects of the hobby like collecting and painting) and Codex books for each army, which aren't necessarily updated when a new edition comes out. The interactions of the army rules in each Codex and each edition's ruleset is chaotic at best, and often results in insane-looking letter-of-the-law strategies that exploit that interaction (early Tau firefish, anyone?), until it's fixed by a new Codex or edition.

The problem is, IMO, theorycrafting. The nerds that wind up playing your game have a lot more time, in aggregate, to break it than you do, and once one 'sploit has been found, disseminating it through the internet is trivial. Now everybody's doing it, and it's called "the current meta". If you don't want that, you've got to change something. You can add ever more and more complex pieces to the system, like they did with D&D3.5, or you can keep it moving forward and correct newly discovered imbalances live, as they do with WH40k (or, if you're a conspiracy theorist, correct some and intentionally introduce others).

I stopped trying to climb the endless mountain of 40k a long, long time ago. While I idly dream of a drop-in replacement ruleset that does away with the push-and-pull of edition-and-Codex rules-leapfrogging, I don't think something as complex as 40k can really be distilled into a timeless, unproblematic ruleset like chess or Icehouse or Homeworlds, especially if the intent is to continue releasing new models with new rules... especially if they're Space Marines, the Mary Sues of the 40k universe and the best-selling model line by far.

Anyway, I find it interesting that the parent comment took the approach it did. Note how Warhammer-as-open-source is about the free market providing new models, rather than the reverse-engineers "pirating" the entirety of Magic for XMage or creating new rules for the Star Wars variant. Warhammer has an "alternative client" too, in the form of the Vassal engine [0] (an LGPL 2d tabletop simulation system). Unlike XMage, it doesn't automagically enforce all rules, but then, neither does IRL live-action Warhammer. One could do something similar in Tabletop Simulator, of course.

Russia and China are the only two great powers seeking to conquer and annex territory in the world today.

China just recently annexed territory the size of France in the South China Sea. They annexed Hong Kong. Next they want Taiwan. They eagerly want several of Japan's island territories. They very obviously won't stop there, as their military power increases dramatically over the next 10-20 years; they're just getting warmed up on territorial conquest in Asia.

Russia is dead set on destroying Ukraine as it exists today and will proceed to, at a minimum, annex to the Dnieper River. They already annexed Crimea and a large chunk of East Ukraine. They'll attempt to take all of the Black Sea territory of Ukraine, further impoverishing and cutting off the remaining chunk of broken Ukraine post annexation. Further it has its eyes on taking Moldova, either directly or by forced alliance. Taking Ukraine's Black Sea territory will specifically make Moldova easy to conquer; there is no scenario where they don't pursue that combo. It has begun the (likely longer term) process of annexing Belarus, Lukashenko has capitulated into Putin's arms. Nearly any territory in the region that is not in NATO is up for grabs for conquest as far as Russia is concerned. Russia realistically destroyed Georgia, annexing part of the nation, and it's likely to eventually get around to finishing the rest. It would be a big task for the weaker modern Russia, however they'd also really like to figure out how to sink their claws into Kazakhstan and reclaim some of that territory as part of the empire. For Russia ideally there would be some convenient chaos, civil war in Kazakhstan, and Russia would then use border security as an excuse to de facto invade and claim territory that they'd never give back.

Meanwhile, the US has spent most of the post WW2 era trying to maintain global border security, including in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Europe. The US was in Vietnam? It sure was, trying to protect the South from a conquering North; when the US left, the South promptly got conquered (and yet the US is the villain in that story? yeah right). The same fate awaited South Korea, except the US saved them from the conquering North. How much territory did the US annex in Iraq? Zero. How much territory did the US annex in Afghanistan? Zero. It didn't try to take those nations, their territory, or their natural resources.

When was the last time the US tried to conquer and annex Canada or Mexico? Canada sits right next to the world's primary superpower, with an almost entirely unguarded border. Check out Canada's tiny military spending some time. Ask India how their border context is going with China these days; everyone that shares a border with Russia or China is terrified of their territorial ambitions.

While the US has been a superpower during the post WW2 years, how many nations has it annexed? Right.

Well, manual interventions are rare [0] and almost all of them nowadays are due to the odd package restructuring. Usually the package manager will notify you about a conflict between two packages and won't proceed (so nothing will break). At this point you can check the website if there is a need to force install a package or two.

Although definitely more technical than most distributions the perceived difficulty of Arch is mostly a meme at this point. The last large possibly-system-breaking change was almost 10 years ago [1]. And even then, the solution was quite trivial. Now if you are forcing updates that conflict without reading the news then you're in for a bad time, but that's true for all distributions. In general pacman is very conservative and won't leave your system partially updated. Now there is a chance upstream updates break things, but that's the nature of the rolling release model.

Manual compilations are not necessary if you stick to the official repositories. If you need a package in the AUR then a ports-like setup is required. I have packaged stuff for both RPM and DEB-based distributions, nothing really beats the simplicity and flexiblity of the Archlinux packaging tools.

The US has been taking on new debt faster than inflation has chipped it away for around 40 years at this point. There is no evidence it is going to stop. If anyone who cared was anywhere near the levers of power it wouldn't have crossed 100% debt:GDP.

Sure it isn't a crisis right now. But the debt will continue to grow and at some point there will be a crisis because either rates will spike, or government manipulation of rates will turn out to have killed off real investment and critical parts of the economy will give out. And in neither of those scenarios are the people lending the US money going to see all of it come back.

Hopefully it is all lent by foreigners and not pension funds, that is all I can say.
Yeah, this is one of the top things we want to address. Right now text and shapes are not linked with each other which makes it super annoying to use.

Arch is the first system I have been able to support, fully. As in, 100% of the issues I run across with my distro, I can resolve. I used to run Ubuntu as my gnome desktop distribution, and when it worked (99% of the time), it was a superior experience to Arch. However when running Ubuntu I would inevitably run across some issue that seemed to require a level of sysadmin chops that I never have possessed. For the past year I've been running an Arch desktop, I have resolved every issue by using the Arch wiki and Google/ stack overflow. I suspect that partly, the Arch approach is appealing to those of us who prefer a simpler system, because those are easier to grapple with in a support context.
It's not at all unclear, and the original study is readily available, if you're genuinely interested.

Given the username, I suspect not.
