That seems a bit dated, at least I have been happy with btrfs for quite a while now :D

I've also formatted the root partition BTRFS several times, I'm not sure what's the problem with it

Maybe someone switched to BTRFS by formatting without prompts.

The install script one hasn't aged particularly well. Although I haven't used the official one, so maybe it's not up to IRC standards. Everything else though, totally on point. When is this from?

It's out of date surely, I downloaded it a few years ago

The Debian wiki is basically the same as the Arch wiki, right?

I laughed really hard at the root password saved to a text file only root can read.

Depends on the topic. Debian stable isn’t releasing software as things go on but instead update the package repositories to a version they deem stable. Minor things can change, but also if a big package update dropped on upstream and arch shipped it, some parameters can become deprecated etc.

Stick to your distro’s wiki/bbs/irc when possible, they exist for a reason ;)

"Desire to install Ubuntu"

Haha. The reason why I installed Arch was because of my fear of telemetry.

i like arch, not because of the minimalism, but because manjaro was fucking up my maximalism

Swap file on /tmp haha

Like I see why someone would think thats a good idea, but its also such a bad idea

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I didn't get it after reading it the first time but it's such a bad idea.
