I feel arch users would be far more popular if this were true.
Because everyone is already some cute maid IRL?
I’m definitely a cute maid.
Want me to send proof?
Can’t say no to that
Shit. Now I have to go find the ugliest dude I can that’s wearing a French maid outfit…
Sorry I don’t have the Maid Outfit, but the first part I got down pat.
So we only need to find a way to get you a french maid outfit.
If you’ll deliver I’ll send one
Here you go. Not an Arch user, but he’s in the pipeline. And he’s kinda rocking the outfit.
You’re on the right platform.
Here’s your pretty lady thanks to BrodieOnLinux@linuxrocks.online original post
for what it’s worth… I said “ugly” …
Lol good luck with that one, all of us Linux Bros are hot chads.😉😉
Username doesn’t check out?
Everyone is cute to someone. Or so they say.
ok but like it kind of is…
(i use arch btw)
Honestly, yes. Whenever my PC goes to sleep, my SSD stops working. I have to unplug it and plug it back in to make it work again.
Journalctl suggests the SATA port doesn’t support suspend signals. I suspect my mobo (ASUS TUF Gaming B550M-Plus) doesn’t fully support sleep on Linux. Though I’ve yet to test if it’s also an issue on Windows.
Have the wifi version of that mobo. No issues with suspend with either ubuntu or Pop-OS. Using an nvme as primary.
Might honestly be arch.
Same, but the issue is with my second drive on SATA.
Had a very similar issue with an Intel NUC running Arch.
I’ve just given up on all sleep/hibernate stuff on Linux and pretend it doesn’t exist and we never invented that and just fully shut down like it’s 1995. Half the time it does work, it comes back in a half-ass zombie state anyway with shit broken left and right, needing a full reboot.
Sleep isn’t even that useful these days anyways. If you have your OS installed on an SSD or an M.2, you’ll start up in about 10 - 15 seconds from fully powered off anyways.
I used to agree with you, then I had to run to a meeting with a non closed laptop. Since my hinge was weak I was holding it like an open book, as to keep it open without closing anything important by touching the screen. The whole office stared at me like I am an alien.
(I know you can change the behavior, but back then I had it on default, which would hibernate on lid closure and never wake up, so I just made a habbit of shutting it down before closing the lid)
If the computer stays on for the whole work day already, why should it go to sleep for the two minutes you’re carrying it somewhere? Just disable sleep on closing the lid.
Yeah let me jump in time to tell my younger self to do that before said event. /s
Obviously I changed it afterwards. But before it was simply a non issue.
And just to clarify it again, even though I said it above already: by default on my OS/DE back then, it would hibernate on lid closure and all work in progress would be lost.
it’s nice if you have a bunch of automatically starting programs, though i imagine hibernation is pretty similar in that regard.
I suppose NVME ssds might be more up to that task? I’ve been running a sata ssd on my machine since installing arch on it lol.
Sleep is for chucking the laptop in a bag and not interrupting your work flow.
I don’t even shut my computer down anymore. Just lock it and let the monitors go to sleep. Reboot as necessary for updates. Been doing this since like 2004 without any issues. Currently on Linux Mint.
that is bizarre. My MSI board has been pretty much perfect with sleep, never tried hibernation though.
I signed up for heartache by choosing a Chromebook to fucking around with. I don’t afraid.
Fuck, I regret buying my Chromebook so much.
Did you use the Mrchromebox.tech “hack “ to use an alt OS on it? My Chromebook has become my daily driver now. Though I fuckers it up constantly.
Based
I just did this yesterday! I’ve worked with Linux/Unix for a long time, but I’ve never had a Linux machine at home. We had an ancient cheap chromebook and I turned it into a functional Linux laptop! I used GalliumOS though, which isn’t being actively developed any longer, so I might have to change setups eventually.
In didn’t plan to distro hop on the chrome book, but having something actively maintained that’s a nice’d up Debian would be sweet.
What have you done to me?!?!?
Are these distros good at supporting various old chrome book hardware? Hell maybe even something like Mint would work, but I should probably stick with the lightweight ones.
Mabox has an option at setup for Chromebook keyboards but i find binding from a regular keyboard less of a pain. My one real issue was the sound card, but SOF ( sound open firmware) fixed it immediately.
Mint is basically perfect, i just wish their xfce edition was based on Debian And not ubuntu. Mint + debian = the tops. Another one to consider is Sparky Linux. I heard good stuff about it.
Thanks again!
The chrome book is in a state where I can boot from the USB drive and try out whatever I want, so I’m going to take a look!
The fact that I look bad in lace is why I use Debian btw
I think an arch user would know to wear the antistatic band on the wrist that’s grounded… but maybe that’s just me. /pretentious_sniff
Would they? Arch users strike me as coming in two flavors.
-
Competent users who have a significant amount of IT knowledge, that happen to enjoy an incredibly lightweight Linux distro which is fully configurable. This group is akin to a racecar driver with a project car in their garage.
-
Random people who lack basic knowledge but drink whatever Kool aid they’re given, and just happened to fall into a FOSS community where that Kool aid was Linux. They install Arch because someone said it’s the best, and their ability to do so gives them an air of superiority and the belief that they’re competent like group 1. This group is more like a teenager with a KIA, who believes their glued-on hood scoop gives them more horsepower.
Due to social media the second group far outpaces the first. So I’d wager most of them don’t even know what the acronym ESD stands for, let alone how grounding works in basic electrical theory.
So I’d wager most of them don’t even know what the acronym ESD stands for, let alone how grounding works in basic electrical theory.
Grounding moves the magic smoke from one component to another, preferably, to one you don’t own.
No, no, you want to keep the magic smoke inside your components!
Sheesh, noobs these days…
Of course, but you wanna move it to another location, like your pesky neighbour’s computer.
you forgot about the part of the arch community where we forcibly require arch users to manually install arch linux. You don’t just wake up and accidentally install arch linux manually, you have to know what you’re doing, even if being a bumbling idiot during the process, you’re still doing it the hard way.
Jokes aside, arch by nature is more tempting to “real linux users” the average “i use linux kid” is going to use kali or something.
I didn’t say group 2 did it accidentally, I said they pretend that the specific skillset required to install Arch via terminal somehow means they’re certified professional IT.
All you know is how to use a CLI specifically with Linux syntax, that’s a good start but it’s somewhat like pretending you’re a mechanic because you know how to change a tire.
i meant accidentally as hyperbole. The point being if you managed to install arch manually that you had some level of knowledge. Or at least gained it through the experience.
I’d say it’s more like pretending you’re a mechanic while having a fairly comprehensive understanding of how cars work. The difference here is the environment, and the experience. You aren’t gonna become an IT professional unless you’ve had years in the industry or “certification” anyway. But you can certainly roll your own maintenance if you tried.
That is also downplaying a manual install of arch quite a bit, but that’s beyond the point.
There was a day, when I woke up and accidentily installed Gentoo. It is so sticky, still running on my PCs since more than 15 years.
it was simply meant to be. You cannot question it now.

Trust me, there is no need for that nowadays, most components have serious anti-static protection in them.
Wasn’t really all that needed even twenty years ago, you could keep yourself grounded to the case easily without one
Yeah, do agree. Grounding your wrists has been pretty much obsolte for the past 20 years or so. In the 80’s, 90’s, yeah, it was preferable that you’re grounded.
I just quickly touch the earth pin in the nearest outlet. I don’t think it does anything, but it can’t hurt either.
Just touch the PSU. It’s grounded and then you are as well then Touch it regularly and static never builds up.
I live in a super dry place with static sparking on the sheets when I move, so these are actual words of wisdom.
is that necessary with the gloves?
Duh, the whole maid outfit is purely functional
Fabric friction creates static charge, so it would be worse.
having worn gloves like that, if i were to work on a computer wearing them that would be the first time i’d actually bother using an electrostatic bracelette
You know, I’m kinda surprised there isn’t a Maid IT service out there somewhere. You’re telling me I can fix computers all day AND dress in a maid outfit? sign me up!
I know it’s anecdotal but I have never seen a single IT service guy I’d fancy seeing in a maid outfit.
Coward
Nah, I’d just prefer a Burka in their case.
The case is bloat, a real Arch user wouldn’t need it
I am into Arch now.
btw
I’m in this picture
I laughed about the meme.
But It’s the opposite of my experience tbh. I had way more trouble before I finally switched to arch.
Give NixOS a try. Imagine never even having the risk of a broken system ever again. Never getting stuck in the TTY because some update bricked to your shit. It’s a nice life on Nix.
Idk, I like NixOS but it’s not problem-free and the worst part about it is that for some problems you won’t have much luck finding help in many places and on top of that the documentation isn’t the greatest. That said I have found less very serious issues, but also because I haven’t messed with it as much as Arch.
I don’t like the nix package manager it updates too slowly, and though a config file for everything is a neat idea, i found that it was kind of clunky for use on a desktop, so i’m back on void (which tbf has way less packages than arch or nix but xbps has everything i personally need)
Are you willing to take a list of my requirements and giving me a functional set of nix / homemanager / flake files that fullfill those requirements? (It’s a long and very particular list) I’ll even pay you 150$ if you can manage to fulfill 100% of the must haves and over 80% of the want haves.
Because last time I tried it took over a week, was buggy (thus compromising about a quarter of the must have requirements) and provided no visible benefit over my current archlinux with a set of custom packages for dotfiles, config backups and bootable btrfs snapshots from my personal experience.
I would be willing to do this, yes.
Come now, my hardware is newer than that
Missing the grounding strap that goes around your wrist to prevent static electricity damage.
Don’t kink shame me
Real men just touch the chassis.

considering that my aux PC just had its power supply explode…
It depends on what happened to the machine.
The PSU is still inside, she’s probably in the process of changing it with the one outside.
This is obviously false. The hardware Is fine, I fucked up the config.
I unironically do have a bootstick at hand for this case though.
I don’t fix my PC, I just throw it away amd buy a new one.
Much faster than fixing a broken arch install.
