    You don't really compile anything during or after install with arch linux unless you find something on the AUR that needs to compile? If so, just look for .

    Otherwise, a really nice system is NixOS.

    Another is GNU Guix.

    I am using it for the French course right now and can't recommend it enough. It's very well done and makes a tonne of sense to me. Can't hurt to try, I say.

    I think my all time favorite for learning a new language is language transfer. Though, I don't see a polish or Japanese option, sadly.

    I think you might like to try it. Maybe to get a taste for it try the nix package manager first. Right now I'm kind of struggling on whether or not NixOS is the one for me or Gnu Guix. Both are pretty awesome.

    Okay, so I haven't installed Debian in quite some time, but I think I know what's happening here.

    It's looking for the CD / DVD "repos" because it may be enabled in your apt sources. You just have to comment out the lines involved with CD and DVD in your /etc/apt/sources.list file I think.

    Uh, yeah. Cheers

    I am not entirely sure why I thought it was something to do with the filesystem. It's just weird.

    I found that if I put, say, a text file in Documents then log out and back in, those symlinks show up.

    Ah well. so long as nothing breaks, it's not that bad.

    Is this a btrfs issue?

    So, I have been testing out a few distro's lately after deciding to move away from arch. I have noticed, though, that every time I install a new system (latest one being NixOS) with btrfs, I get symlinks of my home folder in my Documents folder. It's really kind of odd. I haven't tried with ext4, yet. Is this a known issue?

    Says them, I guess. Feels kinda weird to me.

    And at this time, our telemetry system won’t be rolled out to any team or business using 1Password.

    Uhh, what? If it's opt-in why does it matter if team or business doesn't have this? Different standards? To go through such lengths to explain this telemetry stuff to convince people, "Oh, no worries, yo! It's OPT-IN! Trust us!" feels very dirty to me.

    Oh, I get that. They do introduce some bloat. Though, at least for me, I have enough resources to manage it without much concern. I wouldn't recommend flatpak's if you want a lean, mean, machine. That's for sure.

    I used arch for a long time and only recently switched over to fedora silverblue. One of the things I missed most was the AUR (and pacman), for sure. However, I discovered something called distrobox. It allows me to install an archlinux container and from there I can use the AUR with no problems. It's pretty seamless, too. So, if there is something I can't find something then it's no problem now.

    Though, fedora has pretty much everything anyway. Flatpaks are getting damn good.

    For 3D/2D -> Blender Office stuff: LibreOffice For programming -> Neovim, Insomnia (for testing out REST api's and whatnot) Virtual Machines -> KVM/Qemu (Virtmanager, Boxes, etc) This one was a huge improvement for me I use VLC for most of my multimedia needs

    For game development (related somewhat to 3D/2D) -> Bevy and Godot

    Plus a tonne of others I'm leaving out. It's really a nice feeling.
