[19:23:18] general_kornwallace the problem with such a law is the fact that it assumes linux is a standalone OS and not a kernel, I'd just distro hop until you find one that refuses to comply

[21:44:56] general_kornwallace it just takes some setup but it works for me

[21:45:03] general_kornwallace tho I'm using artix, not arch

[21:46:04] general_kornwallace there's an easy installer now

[21:46:13] general_kornwallace archinstall I think

[21:46:27] general_kornwallace you still have to use the terminal

[21:46:37] general_kornwallace archinstall is just the command

[21:47:19] general_kornwallace it's been a while since I had to set up arch

[21:47:37] general_kornwallace when I installed artix, it had a gui installer

[21:47:41] general_kornwallace so I just used that

[21:47:54] general_kornwallace artix is just arch without systemd

[21:49:13] general_kornwallace it depends on how you feel about systemd in general, I prefer to not have it but it's one of those things people continue to debate about

[21:49:15] general_kornwallace oh

[21:49:28] general_kornwallace I'll just copy and paste when he gets back

[21:50:02] general_kornwallace truthwillout: it depends on how you feel about systemd in general, I prefer to not have it but it's one of those things people continue to debate about

[21:51:40] general_kornwallace you mentioned the cali law dsax, canonical does plan on complying with that law, which means ubuntu will have age verification

[21:52:52] general_kornwallace I've been using xfce for so long that I don't wanna switch

[21:55:35] general_kornwallace that's a weird bug

[21:56:23] general_kornwallace honestly I run debian on my laptop but I've never actually updated the version

[21:56:29] general_kornwallace everything somehow still runs fine

[21:56:41] general_kornwallace idr I'll have to check

[21:56:45] general_kornwallace might've been buster

[21:57:07] general_kornwallace which would be 10

[21:58:50] general_kornwallace I'm using the laptop rn to watch a basketball game, everything just works great despite the old firmware

[21:58:58] general_kornwallace kinda crazy

[21:59:32] general_kornwallace yeah I always tell newbies to install mint first

[21:59:46] general_kornwallace tho I've been hearing people recommend cachyos lately as well

[21:59:50] general_kornwallace I've never tried it

[22:00:05] general_kornwallace don't think so

[22:00:29] general_kornwallace nice, I'll have to try it

[22:01:27] general_kornwallace ah, the terminal is easy once you get used to it

[22:02:17] general_kornwallace it just creates friction at first because it's not accessible to like an ex-windows user

[22:02:34] general_kornwallace unless you already know how to use cmd or poweshell

[22:02:44] general_kornwallace and even then those commands are way different
