I use paru and the default is “paru” with no parameter for the upgrade. But I am on your team here: I have to Google every single time the -Q params for all the queries and I have been using arch for almost 2 decades now: “who owns this file?” “what are the deps of this package?” “Which packages are installed?” “Which packages I explicitly installed vs dependencies?” Not a single one of them is intuitive to query with the pacman command line for some reason.

For me: Gentoo is a meta distro, you are the distro maintainer then the power user of that specific distro you created for yourself which can definitely be fun. Arch is more like: let’s give you one instance of a Gentoo distro when you are tired of being the distro maintainer.

Funny how it is all relative…

Red hat for a few months -> Gentoo for 10 years-> Arch for another 10 years

For me this is the opposite: Every time I am forced to use Ubuntu I feel like I am in a torture chamber especially with 3rd party packages.

Literally every product. People feel so much safer after that :)

The rust one is called bottom (btm) see the other thread :). When you already have a rust environment it is just at a cargo install away which is convenient.

If you switch to Linux you’ll probably have to learn at some point to use the terminal but with some recent developments (new fonts, ligatures etc…) console applications evolved to be more and more … Graphical! And this is awesome: check out btop, neovim/nvchad, lsd etc…

Oh you lost a screw … Let me see … That will be $3k for the screw but we do have a cool new iPhone too you know!

I don’t believe so. In KDE3 it was double click IIRC then it changed with the single click during the web mania UI when people suddenly wanted the big unification for everything: phones, fridges, tablets, supercomputers.

Like a lot of other people mention, this is the first thing I flip in plasma too. A mouse with a pointer is just different from a tactile interface.

Passed away: This has been used in plain English since the 14th century. This is also a respectful way to say that they passed away to another realm (to whatever people believe in).

Can’t wait! I’ll buy it again!
