42 years of war, seems a bit short for the us.

People would smuggle chocolate bars if they were made illegal, that doesn’t make them harmful.

What if I told you a chocolate bar killed my family?

Well I would be lying but WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

What? No really, what are you talking about?

What the dog doin’?

War crimes apparently, the type of man made horrors beyond most human’s comprehension. I don’t get how we have such a large delta with the horrors preformed by israel and the coverage of the nation in the west. Being called anti-Semitic for calling out using dog rape as a tool to torture prisoners seems a bit bizarre.

Likely they did, but that was a long time ago when they where expected to be back in port in a few weeks. This is what was left after being forced marched across the world from one insane incident to the next. And then they thought they would have access to resupply from local bases, but those have been evacuated due to risk of attack.

Morale, in the shitter

Logistics, fucked then tossed in the shitter

Procurement, never got out of the shitter

Shitter, clogged again.

Even the dreaded “Cheese and Vegetable Omelet” would be better then what was shown. There are not enough calories in that “meal” shown above to do much, let alone operate a war ship.

Oh boy, can’t wait to see what new rule changes the Dems will come up with this time!

Yeah, everyone in the area should dump their trash onto the SPPDs lawn as it is no longer illegal. Hell might also put the shitty dumpster company out of buissnes as well.

Also potential additional storage.

When the idiots invade Canada then we will come over to undo your failed experiment.

And your empire was built on soft power and trade, both of which you also don’t have anymore.

Welp, its not like by not releasing the files would be breaking any laws… that matter.

Maybe some holy scented oils.

Who in this day and age feuds with the dang pope? Are we going to have pope wars again? I hope so.

You first argued that Arch is not a usable operating system, which is a bold claim given that it’s one of the most popular Linux distros. While you did mention a workstation before, the claim regarding Arch wasn’t obviously connected to that, implying that Arch is not useful for any purpose.

The statement was made in a comment that was in its entirety:

“I made the mistake of going with Pop_OS for one of my stores workstations. Its been an almost endless amount of frustration with all the stupid shit Pop has done. Is it better then windows? sure, but its down there with arch as a usable OS in anything outside of an LTT video.”

There are 3 or 4 total sentences in the whole thing and the very first one is laying out that this whole thing is about workstations. I don’t know how much more I could do other then literally plan for this argument that you started.

As far as not mentioning nontechnical users, fuck right off with that, all users are nontechnical unless otherwise stated. Anyone who has had to set a computer up for anyone other then themselves knows this. I did not make the comment assuming that someone would get bent out of shape and look for any “win”.

Also, if the users are nontechnical they’re probably not the ones who administer the workstations so they don’t need to care about technical details as long as you can provide a desktop and the applications they need.

They have a stick with mint on it and I can and have walked them though reinstalling mint from a stick and then have them connect to the back up system to retrieve the files used for work. The stores are 250 kms apart, you can not in good faith tell me arch is appropriate unless you have an administrator on site (and if I was that administrator I would likely strike you). I used to make rollup disks to do this, but hey guess what has more or less gone away? I can have the workstations up and running in 15 min with a mint stick, with default install options. That is important to me and frankly a lot of places. There are quite a few distros that can do this as well, this is not a feather in mints cap. Configuration is not a thing that needs to be done unless it needs to be done, to think otherwise is just admitting the unconfigured distro is not any good.

A coherent version of your argument would be “I don’t like Arch because when I set up workstations for Linux-averse users it was much more work than Mint and I prefer something that’s quick and easy to set up”. And fair enough, that’s a perfectly valid reason for you to prefer Mint over Arch. But it’s not an indication that Arch is worse in general or even unusable. It’s just a bad fit for this specific use case.

There is no situation where you are setting up workstations for users that are not Linux-averse outside of a Linux development environment, in which case those users will not like that you set up arch for them, as if they are arch fans they will also want to do their own configurations.

That all being said, if I had the time and desire I could see making a arch rollup sort of thing custom made for an organization. I just don’t need to as a distro like mint has everything the store needs already there by default.

Yep, you have no clue.

If I don’t want to fuck with the OS and if setting it up takes more then 15 min then its not a good choice, but please tell me to “get gud” about what I value in an OS. I am sure that is why so many people use arch over other distros, the kind support.

Nice Motte & Bailey fallacy retreating from the ridiculous statement that “…its down there with arch as a usable OS…” to try and seem more reasonable now.

That is why it is not a useable OS, 100% the fact that laypeople have to daily drive it. There was no retreating from me, not at all, I stand by my statement that arch is not a usable OS for workstations. And before you try and say that “for workstations” is some sort of moving the goalposts, I made the statement on arch not being usable in a comment about putting distros on my stores workstations.

When did I say I never used it? Its just not a good choice unless you really like to configure your Linux. For workstations that my staff (who are not interested in Linux or PCs at all) have to use, I go with things that are stable and easy like mint.

I made the mistake of going with Pop_OS for one of my stores workstations. Its been an almost endless amount of frustration with all the stupid shit Pop has done. Is it better then windows? sure, but its down there with arch as a usable OS in anything outside of an LTT video.
