every popular mainstream YouTuber seems kinda bad tbh

i mean you can do it in a windows vm or something

i mean you have to “use the command line” for the arch installer i guess, but it’s literally just typing “archinstall” and then having a TUI pop up where you can graphically set the install options and start the installation

is manjaro seriously that much easier than stock arch installed via archinstall?

isn’t Linux Unix-like?

idk gaming on arch works ootb on the 4 computers I’ve tried on, I’ve had no issues with it so far except when I tried to try some really experimental things with my gpu drivers. Every game I’ve tried works fine, and things like Steam and Lutris work just as well as on other distros.

also the archinstall TUI script comes with the installer and does the installation for you.

I’m honestly kinda tired of people making out arch as difficult/brittle without having tried it properly, it probably comes from the community latching onto the overused joke of “i use arch btw”, and so wanting to view arch as inferior in some way because they don’t want to be associated with the imaginary stereotypical arch user that doesn’t actually exist.

It’s probably also compounded by beginner arch users wanting to seem superior and above the others, so they present arch as something only them with their superior intellect could ever handle.

arch just works in my experience.

they just said they’re proficient with linux in their post, did you read it?

the thinkpad E/L series are also kinda gnarly

if you are comfortable enough with cli and Linux you should try arch for the desktop, it’ll be probably easier in the long run because games are fussy and you can refer to the wiki and use the AUR

in the future if you want to do this again qpwgraph might be a easier way to do it

oh interesting, I doubt most youtubers know about it though, it should be promoted as much as peertube itself imo

storage issues are very real, if op wants to do this they really need to do it on their own instance

two worst ideas in the universe combined into one, maybe add some ‘cloud’ or ‘blockchain’ to make it even worse

I don’t think most big YouTubers care much about YouTube ad revenue these days, they make so much more money from audience manipulation (e.g. sponsor spots) so the current peertube system would be fine.

I honestly think the biggest current issues are that it costs a lot of money to host peertube because of the high resource requirements (storage costs are compounding as well) and that the network effect means that very few people will use it

it’s probably that they’re not willing to put in the effort to republish every video on peertube when the status quo works fine, or that they don’t know about peertube’s existence.

Louis Rossmann for example definitely cares about FOSS/Free ecosystems is a giant proponent of ad blockers, but doesn’t post on peertube.

applying the Facebook ai training approach to the fediverse I see, I’m 100% sure this won’t villainise the fediverse at all!

as much as I like plasma mobile and want it to succeed it’s pretty janky in its current state imo

there’s the Thinkpad Mini 10 but like uhhh uhhhhhhhhhhh i wouldn’t recommend it

:(

that’s actually really sad, IT of all people don’t care about FOSS?
