Proxmox community scripts has some nice update tools

Maybe I’ll reconsider. I really don’t know though.

I did a quick search and for steam the pacman package installed size is 19mb while the flathub package installed size is 51mb.

That’s actually a way bigger difference than I thought it would be.

I haven’t actually installed an aur helper yet but when I end up needing one, I think I will go with paru.

Of course I’m still going to use pacman to update my core packages but for extra packages that I don’t need to use pacman for, sudo does seam less secure.

Why would you download precompiled AUR binaries? it just seams more stable and secure to compile yourself, with this your trusting a third party when you didn’t have to.

Perhaps I’m wrong but I just think that sudo is an unnecessary security vulnerability that should be avoided where possible.

That’s interesting I have steam installed through pacman and I haven’t had any issues.

Topgrade seems really cool, I wonder how it compares to arch-update

Thanks for pointing this out, I just used an LLM detector and it said it was likely 100% AI generated.

Sure, sure. But its definitely going to be this year.

Take the tier zoo aproach. Would you rather use evelution points on grass or evolution points on being big brain.

We need to agree on a better way to get new users to easily chose a new Distro without having horrible choice paralysis. Asking AI doesn’t work, asking reddit or lemmy just starts a massive debate and gets the person asking nowhere.

Perhaps just refer everyone to nicks latest tier list although that is really for his use case, I mean he doesn’t even have bazzite on the list when it’s a good choice for a lot of people. Maybe there is a website that asks questions and recommends a distro based on that, or maybe I saw a cool flow chart photo that seamed good, but it’s an image so it won’t update itself when people come back to it later and the recomendations change.

Since i use ublock with a blocklist to block popups I would never have seen this.

Honestly I bet they have in the bottom of there privacy policy that they will track you even after you pay to remove tracking.

I agree with everything. Except the donations part.

Are you serious? Do you really believe linux can’t get any better or that linux is perfect for you?

The more people that use linux the more donations it gets from people and the more people use it.

Also if you think linux is so awesome isn’t it nice to other people to share that awesomeness with them?

As well the more people that use linux the more apps will be supported on it. Can you say with full confidence that there isn’t a single windows or macos app that doesn’t work perfectly on linux that you don’t want? Even if linux is perfect for you, you rely on the kindness of open source maintainers to maintain linux, can you really not reserve any kindness for other people?
