I do know that Twice as Wide En Passant exists!

I use Debian ftw.

, but I’ll die on the hill that MM-DD-YYYY is better than DD-MM-YYYY

Then perish.

Server had been down for about two days but just got it crossposted there, thanks!

What? But Jewish people love being nazis! Just look at Gaza!

It’s so superior that they finally added color in 2024!

We live in a wild world where people feel so confident about the wayland snake oil that they only added color in 2024!

On the one hand sounds sensible, on the other hand I wonder if that’s possible when wanting to apply things that need to take place as early in boot as possible (eg.: modprobe options for a module, apparmor profiles, …).

Since the idea is that the “root partition” is immutable, serious question:

How do you fix a hardware config issue or a distro packaging / provision issue in an immutable distro?

Several times in my Linux history I’ve found that, for example, I need to remove package-provided files from the ALSA files in /usr/share/alsa in order for the setup to work with my particular chipset (which has a hardware bug). Other times, I’ve found that even if I set up a custom .XCompose file in my $HOME, some applications insist on reading the Compose files in /usr/share/X11/locale instead, which means I need to be able to edit or remove those files. In order to add custom themes, I need to be able to add them to /usr/share/{icons,themes}, since replicating those themes for each $HOME in the system is a notorious waste of space and not all applications seem to respect /usr/local/share. Etc.

Unless I’m mistaken on how immutable systems work, I’m not sure immutable systems are really useful to someone who actually wants to or needs to power user Linux, or customize past the “branding locking” that environments like Gnome have been aiming for for like a decade.

That’s part of the fun!

Babe wake up, new twice as wide en passant meme unlocked.

They’d do it in a heartbeat if people started thinking saying it was a furry thing.

In particular, once women start calling openly them out for being furries , they’ll drop the issue. XD

Fair point, he literally got it at just a finger’s length to destruction.

Might recall wrong but Frodo did not destroy the One Ring, didn’t he? He tried to protect it and use it but tripped on a meat-hungry Gollum at the last second.

Now now let’s be fair, at least animal excrement has a direct, practical purpose when put down on the ground.

Their faces omg!!! The void unveils its hunger!

I’ve had cats on churu before. I’ve gone on record on how Churu is basically like fentanyl for them.

If you are using Gnome distros: you can feel exactly what it feels like getting back to working in a restricted, overhyped, overbranded environment like Windows.

If you are using Ubuntu: you can get advertising during your system’s software upgrades. No, really.

If you are using Arch: you can post aroudn the internet saying you use Arch btw.

Depending on the distro, you can use some alternative software stacks, but that’s mostly the backend (eg.: systemd versus openRC, Apache vs Nginx, X vs Wayland); most “desktop app” level is mostly the same for each desktop environment, is kinda the point.
