Cause there’s like six other distros based on it. The point is that a package manager especially is a huge part of what differentiates the general experience of using a distro, and how a derivative distro works. And sure, lots of other details. Something like Manjaro, Artix etc. is basically cut from Arch as a template, often incorporating upstream changes or packages, with downstream changes based on differences of opinion.
“Conveniently?” I’m not making a case against Arch. I’m literally using an Arch derivative. Just not trying to sit here listing every single customization they ever made. Chill the fuck out.
I’ll tell you, nothing bricks as hard or as irreparably as Windows. I have never had to actually reinstall Linux due to some problem (though it’s a good practice security-wise).
A package manager + some packages in the base system maybe, is basically a distro template. And maybe some kernel tweaks, or a built-in DE/WM. Or opinionated init system maybe.
Doesn’t that work with just a big USB stick? I’ve definitely plopped a Linux HD in a new computer and had it work with almost no changes (fstab and maybe adding graphics card support).
alias l="ls", I’m immune to this problem
Some Elgato hardware is supported by OBS, FYI. IIRC the HD60+ or S+ or something.
I’ve got an irrational, non-evidence-based love for RISC dating back to the 90s PowerPC Mac era. Makes me want one.
Last time I checked (a few years ago) Firefox has half the memory usage of Chrome, in practice.
I don’t think this is a well-defined term, so not much point in arguing about its definition.
