This. I can’t afford reliable always-on storage now, but I plan to build for SSDs rather than HDDs because I don’t have a separate room to put it into.

I do agree, I’m just not surprised it wasn’t done this way at the start and I’m not bothered enough by it to want a change.

Much more so than having a car-centric infrastructure. If you start cherry-picking you’ll of course find cases where a car would have been more efficient but public transportation needs to be understood as a whole.

AFAIK, arch never pretended to cater to new linux/cli users, I’ve always read it as a recommandation for advanced (or at least comfortable with reading docs and using CLI) users.
My first time using arch required me following the arch wiki for install and when I finally got a working system (I’m as bad at following tutorials as I am at following cooking recipes) the pacman commands were not something I struggled with.
But yeah coming from Debian where I had the gloriously intuitive apt syntax, I get your point.

Adhd?

TIL about article 5, thanks!
I really hope mimitary action won’t happen…

France here, our mainstream media is currently either billionaire-owned and pushing Trump and Musk admiration or publicly owned but influenced by our current government (Macron and co.) which does everything possible to cosy up to billionaires so they haven’t yet (and probably never will) called Trump a fascist or Musk a neo-nazi.

You came and died in France during two world wars in the 20th century but I’m afraid France as a nation isn’t gonna have your back in this timeline - except if we manage to elect a real-left government next time.

Good luck!
