My GF, who likes to make a lot of handmade gifts, says she understands craft stores like Hobby Lobby (which this is) putting put stuff out early, since other crafters are probably starting their projects around this time and might need a few months to get them ready.

But this shit better not cross over into regular retail stores.

At least 132 games that theoretically should work, but because of bad/broken implementation don’t, and 28 games where the linux community has been told explicitly to f- off.

The the Arch software repos are incredible and the Arch Wiki is, quite frankly, a work of art that should be celebrated with the same reverence as the Mona Lisa or David’s uncircumcised cock.

But anyone recommending Arch to a Linux newbie needs a psych evaluation.

I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve read stories to the effect of, “yeah, a regular package update bricked my desktop, but I just rolled my face across the keyboard and recompiled the offending software and got back to work, no big deal.”

Cool. I’m so glad you can do that my guy, I really am. But how the hell do you expect average computer user to figure that out? The first time a software update leaves them at a command prompt with some cryptic GDM error message or a Nvidia kernel panic or something, they’re going running back to Billy Gates’ warm walled garden embrace. Shit, I like to think I’m half competent with Linux and I’d shit myself if that happened to me.

EDIT: Sorry, @7U5K3N@lemmy.dbzer0.com, I didn’t nessicarily mean to direct any of that to you specifically, it’s sort of just my standard copy pasta whenever I see Arch reccomded.
