    First time Linux user

    Knows nothing about the choices you make in Arch to personalize your system

    “Yes, Arch is the one for me! Because I know everything about Linux already.”

    Soon: “I don’t know why X is happening on my system”

        Just because SteamOS is based on Arch now doesn’t mean that using SteamOS teaches you anything about using Linux or Arch specifically.

        The SteamDeck literally obfuscates most of it and you have to choose to boot into desktop mode to even mess with anything.

          and you have to choose to boot into desktop mode to even mess with anything.

          You say that like it’s a bad thing, but I think having the two separate modes is a fantastic setup. You get basically a console experience, smooth and straightforward and easy to use for just playing games, and you still have access to the underlying system anytime you want.

      Assuming that’s not some default config I just don’t know, that’s actually a rather competently built config for i3 or similar. If he did that hinself he should manage.

        It says it is using Hyprland which is a Wayland-bases tiling window manager with pretty good defaults.

        Many years ago he paid like 5 bucks to see if some Indian guys would write “heil Hitler” on a sign and hold it up for a video (they did}. He was doing stupid edgy humor and playing with like like many creators at the time. Many people canceled him “fully” a year or so after that when he had the “bridge incident”. He called someone the n word for camping or something while he was playing PUBG. He apologized and took responsibility for using the word…sorta. He continued to make content for a few more years and then he “retired” in Japan with his wife and child. They post update videos every few months but more or less he got his bag and dipped out after he pulled too many stupid moves and was seen as “toxic” to work with.

        I don’t think he’s a bad person, but that’s just as someone who occasionally watched his videos over the years.

          people here really hate him for something I see in the average TF2 lobby. Also to me it seems like he has taken responsibility and grown from it 🤷‍♀️

            Ivkenz I understand being mad at him for sure. It’s they staying mad at him forever that I don’t understand. People make mistakes. People change. He didn’t do anything worse than 90% of the guys I knew in highschool at some point. You grow up and you learn that behavior isn’t correct.

      Definitely a one off thing case here. Last week he was on mint and now on arch with hyprland already. He doesn’t upload that much so he’s probably experimenting a lot.
