Ah yeah, you know the gold plated connections make all the difference for the fiber optic connection

I suppose all the “I use Arch” memes made me curious about the hubbub behind it. Fedora is totally competent, works right out of the box and gives no issues in my experience, I truly believe it should be recommended more when folks consider making the switch. Arch has been a learning experience for me, kinda figuring out what the system needs but doesn’t come with. “Oh, I have no firewall, I better install it. No bluetooth? Alright, I’ll add that too.” It’s so hands on and it forces the user to make decisions that the distro usually makes for the user on its own. This is a “for better and for worse” type of thing, but it forces the user to learn more about Linux itself than just handing them a totally functional machine right out of the box. It was intimidating as hell the first couple installs, but now I understand things I didn’t understand before as a result of it.

I switched because of a strong dislike for Microsoft and their spyware. I didn’t even bother dual booting, I ran baptism by fire right into Fedora and it was way smoother than I expected it to be. I enjoyed Fedora so much that I decided to try Arch. Very different experience, but now I’ve learned so much that I dumped Fedora and I use Arch for almost everything. I do keep a machine with Debian that way I feel like I’m getting the most well-rounded experience in case I ever need to help a friend with a Debian-based distro.

I’m glad they circled the text, I couldn’t read it otherwise.

In this market? Can’t blame 'em. If that’s what it takes to have a space to live, so be it.

Exactly the information I needed, thank you for this :)

That makes more sense- kinda like nondestructive editing when working with audio/video. The snapshot is more or less a list of instructions to revert a system back to a previous state, not an actual copy of everything.

Thank you- this is exactly the direction I was needing

That makes more sense to me now. If I did want to backup system files and settings on another drive, what tool could I use?

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding how Timeshift works. If Timeshift isn’t a backup tool then what does it do? I thought that I could use my primary SSD and save snapshots to a secondary SSD using Timeshift. Everything is formatted to BTRFS by the way, it’s not like the primary drive is in ext4 or something like that.

Can I configure it to do what I want it to do or do I need some other sort of tool for that?

Thank god they censored d*wnvote, I almost had a heart attack 😨

Oh that’s totally sick, I bet that would be hella useful if I had another computer I wanted to set up and have everything I’ve got on my main machine

I’m gonna be so real, that’s a lot of words that I didn’t understand but that’s okay- I suppose I’m probably not the target audience for for the software 😂

Best of luck to you and your project!

What does it do?

I’ll hope it still stays a similar space 🤞

To be honest, I think a big part of the 196 identity is that it comes from blahaj. Maybe the move will prove me wrong, but I can’t imagine the energy will be the same.

No brie things.

It used to work properly. I can use the challenge-response to unlock my password manager and I can use passkeys just fine, but for whatever reason it won’t show me one-time codes.

pcscd is installed, but I don’t believe it is functioning properly, even when I enable it

The Yubikey is plugged into a USB C port. The same issue persists even when used in the other USB C port.
