Well... it is a feature... we are talking about Arch here, a bleeding edge distro meant to be continuously updated.

Want to update once every couple of decades? Go pick something stable like Debian (also Linux BTW).

No, thank you very much, I like my CVEs and bugs being fixed as soon as possible.

I tried to use linux on a tablet, I've tried GNOME multiple times since it is apparently the best for touchscreen-only devices. This was hell.

As much as I'd love to be able to like that thing I just can't.

Zero customisability, everything has to be changed through extensions, but the extension manager isn't even part of GNOME's core and has to be installed separately.

The settings page is severely lacking so I had to configure everything in .conf files or through CLI directly.

And the whole thing is as stable as a one-legged chair on top of a unbalanced washing machine.

KDE extension crashing : "oupsie a part of your desktop crashed and restarted as fast as possible, hope you didn't notice"

GNOME extension crashing : "go fuck yourself, I burned your whole session to the ground, log back in and pray you weren't doing anything worth saving"

In the end I customized KDE to look and behave like GNOME, this way around was surprisingly easier than just making GNOME bearable.

Oh and to the taskbar haters out there : my first computer was running windows 95 so you'll be taking my taskbar from my cold dead hands, only KDE let me fulfill my dream of putting taskbars absolutely everywhere (even got two perpendicular ones on my bottom monitor)

I mean... this is definitely the kind of stuff that happened to "hacker" kiddos back in the days, this stuff probably happened a lot of time.

Oh look at me miss "I want to have the right to exist as a person", so deeply political, such politics.

Your instance have "free" as in "freedom" in it, a totaly apolitical concept, of course.

So the comic is political due to the first panel, right?

Don't forget to label the label machine, just in case.

Sure, buy american hardware to flash an operating system based on an american operating system made by an american mega-corp. (yes, graphene OS only works on google pixels afaik) You understood the assignment perfectly on this european community, congrats.

Like I kept surprising coworkers on windows with "witchcrafty" key combinations like ctrl+c, win+d, ctrl+s...? The middle clic paste would be roughtly as well hidden as those arcane shortcut. If users won't "discover" it, better not let them paste random stuff unknowingly at least.

Damn, the amount of comments that didn't even read the full... title... Is reading comprehension getting this bad? Middle clic paste isn't getting removed, just being opt-in rather than opt-out, yet a bunch of commenters are up in arms "time to ditch firefox"...

Because, I consider profile pictures to be a way to be more visually appaling, and a way to be recognizable more easily (thing that I do not want).

Why do you have a profile picture?

frenchy here : the second "t" isn't silent at all, you're confusing it with "petit", the masculine version, where the second "t" is indeed silent.
