I haven't used any of the arch install scripts but they seem to have regular problems. Doing it the usual way is a proper way to roll your own but it doesn't give you options. You have to know what you want, or you have to know where to find out what exists.
The guided installer is going to be important to a type of person we're going to see more and more of: power users that know what they want to do, but for whom the Linux ecosystem is a foreign and fractous entity what uses entirely unfamiliar nomenclature.
A lot of people will probably tell you that what you're asking for is an oxymoron. It's not, it sounds very cool, it just occupies a point on the spectrum that's likely to take a lot of work to keep in an arbitrary balance between rock solid and bleeding edge.
That's hilarious because the AUR saved me from that exact problem trying to run a game on an old engine that breaks using newer versions of that dependency.
I would tell you exactly what it was but it took up so little of my time that I don't remember, and I'm currently on the porcelain throne at work.
Dude I'm not interested in going scorched earth on one of the most useful repositories of practical information and discussion, and I'm disturbed that you're so zealous to do so.
For what it's worth I personally find fallout 3 soulsucking. It's got interesting stuff throughout but it feels randomly scattered into a disjointed and confusing world.
New Vegas is a lot better at making the area feel like a cohesive environment. You understand petty easily why people are where they are and move along the routes they do. We're practically a cult so I'll spare you further recommendation.
Digipicking and a builder for a ship you can't meaningfully use were the only refreshing and engaging mechanics in that game.
Not to suggest optical media is dead and forgotten but I also haven't had a computer with a disk drive in a decade.
Just ripped a friend's entire collection using cyanrip. Might be more powerful tools out there but I wanted something from the CLI.
I am unable to subscribe to communities, here or on other instances
I know there were some oddities about this but I can't find the previous discussion I had seen on the matter. I am subscribed to a handful of communities from when I joined here on sh.itjust.works, but it's not consistent. Several communities appear fine in my feed despite my "subscription pending".
But for new communities, the "subscribe" button is not actually a button, regardless if they're here on sh.itjust.works or elsewhere. I could theoretically subscribe from the list of communities, but I'm interested in looking for communities on specific topics and I expect I could be scrolling for days before I find them. As soon as I use the search feature, I'm given a list without a column of "subscribe" links and I'm back to square one with needing to navigate directly to that community.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Is the source of this problem known? I've been advocating patience with the growing pains the threadiverse is likely to experience, but this is a really critical part of the experience that's not working. I know I might be in the minority but I'm not here to scroll through the all-page.
Is there an option for a less-narrow layout?
So I recognize that these preferences are going to be different for everyone. I've been enjoying my time here thus far but occasionally I look at other instances to see what their native look and feel is like, or to more easily see if they have communities I'm interested in subscribing to. Most of them look pretty similar but I've only just looked at kbin.social and I find the layout far more attractive.
To be more specific, I find it's use of horizontal space more appealing. There's less dead space left on my widescreen monitor. The fonts are collectively a little smaller and less bold, so I feel like I can browse more content in between scrolls. The usage of space here feels more suitable to a mobile format, in my opinion. I'm not terribly interested in picking up and moving just for the sake of readability, so it would be nice if there were more options we could implement locally.
I don't like bringing attention to deficiencies without having anything useful to contribute, but if I knew a way around this problem I would have implemented it (and I'm still trying but there are precious few worthwhile resources for this in Brave/Chromium), and I feel others could benefit from this topic being raised. I would love to hear what you think.
