I get that but he’s lost so many pixels is it really him?
If you can recognize its him then yeah its him.
I have no horse in the Linux distro race, I’m just downvoting this inferior version of the meme format because fuck that guy.
You can down vote on lemmy?
lemmy.one has disabled downvotes, it’s up to admins of each instance if they allow viewing and making downvotes.
At least in the Voyager app. I have heard it’s not the same thing as elsewhere but I haven’t taken the time to understand how or why it’s different.
I use the Voyager web app via lemmy.one and it does not.
🤷
I also like this setting for displaying separate up and down votesMaybe the Lemmy instance I use blocks down votes?
That sounds reasonable to me! Would explain why the mobile app has it and the web app doesn’t; I don’t know if a Lemmy instance has a way to advertise the functions it supports to third party apps.
I think blocking downvotes is an option built into Lemmy servers that can be communicated through the API. I know there are a decent amount of instances that don’t federate downvotes because of toxicity concerns.
For me, the Boost Lemmy app let me downvote even though my instance has it disabled… It just quietly failed and when I go back the downvote isn’t there.
The Jerboa and Voyager apps, on the other hand, don’t: Voyager let’s you try but correctly shows an error, while Jerboa flat out doesn’t offer it since I can’t anyway
mine for sure.
I can downvote on kbin. I haven’t find a nice, beautiful and simple app for it like Thunder for Lemmy, though.

Bold :-) openSUSE is based on zypper and rpm. Arch Linux uses its own package system.
p.s. Please replace that Change my mind guy with a Calvin and Hobbes one.
Maybe they used him because it’s a shit opinion?
OpenSUSE was actually released long before Arch even existed. I’m an Arch user, btw, but I consider both operating systems to be excellent choices. Everyone has their own preferences. Let people enjoy what they like and embrace their individuality. We don’t all have to be alike…
OpenSUSE was actually released long before Arch even existed.
You’re basically right but just some historic facts added :
Judd Vinet started the Arch Linux project in March 2002. OpenSUSE : Its development was opened up to the community in 2005, which marked the creation of openSUSE. Before that it was called SUSE Linux, first released in 1994.
Somebody has never used opensuse. Zypper is an amazing package manager, one of the best on any distro.
It can handle flatpacks, native packages, and packages from the opensuse build system, keeping everything updated and organized.
Pacman is very basic by comparison, and a lot slower too in my experience.
Wait something can be slower than Zypper? Does it have a bunch of
sleep(1)scattered around?I guess I’m smart enough to install opensuse, but dumb enough that I somehow got slow pacman.
I kid you not, on my hardware zypper is the fastest between ubuntu apt, fedora dnf, and arch pacman. dnf was the second-fastest on my hardware, with apt and pacman being pretty sluggish
I’ve also used portage which was even slower, but probably not a fair comparison considering how much more complex it is.
‘On my machine it works’ is not a strong argument, and is highly unlikely, due to the language it was written in.
Pacman is written in C, APT in C++, DNF in Python, and Zypper in C++ as well.
So, no. Pacman ‘wins’.
What truly matters is which tool is best suited for your use case.
In the grand scheme of things the difference between C, C++, and Python isn’t meaningful when operating over a network (edit: for a single-user system). It’s very likely that the difference for thread OP is just caused by weaker connections to specific repos.
We’re talking about a package manager, not a game, network server, etc. On a basic level the package manager only needs to download files from a network and install them (OS syscalls for reading/writing files, these are exposed C functions or assembly routines), or delegate to a specific package’s build setup (which will also likely be written in a compiled language)
Trust me my friend, a person can make a c program that’s much, much slower than one in python. That’s a meaningless point.
Sure, c allows for more control and thus the possibility for a quicker program but that’s just it, a possibility.
Zipper, though written in c++, can only download one thing at a time. This is why it’s so slow
Wait, zypper can handle flatpaks? How?
I would also like to know
Same. Might give it another try.
Serious question: What makes Arch’s package manager so “great”? I always just found it confusing to use. The flags don’t make any sense to me. It feels like you have to add a varying number of s or y to get it to do what you want. I never found it to be any faster or slower than any of the others (apart from portage of course) out there. And apart from the flags it doesn’t seem to give me any more or less trouble than the others.

User is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.
LOL, me using Debian for the first time.
sudo is not installed. Check apt search sudo for possible sources.
I figured that out after a quick search. Thanks though. I just thought it was kind of funny how I found out Debian doesn’t come with sudo.
As a user it’s definitely harder to get into than apt or dnf. However, as a packager, it’s very easy to package new applications for pacman. That’s also why the AUR offers this many packages often not found in other distros.
Dunno. Anecdotal, a few years ago pacman appeared to be much faster than apt-get for me. Currently I don’t see that very much difference but then again I haven’t paid much attention to it.
- Pacman can do parallel downloads (which I haven’t tried) : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman#Enabling_parallel_downloads
there’s nala as an upgrade to apt, but pacman iirc has a few more features still
It’s fast. That’s why it’s great. I’ve considered switching to opensuse a lot, but the speed of pacman compared to how slow zypper is always drags me back to arch
Wow I must be doing something wrong, zypper has always been faster for me than pacman, both on my newer desktop and my older laptop
I’ve heard countless times it’s one of the slowest package managers and the last time I tried opensuse it confirmed that, though that was a year ago, so I guess improvements have been made
I use tumbleweed on my desktop, but run arch on a secondary machine. From experience, pacman is much faster than zypper, even on a slower machine.
Steven Crowder is dumb enough to think that.
OpenSUSE exists as a testbed for SLE, I don’t think there’s anything confusing about that. It’s also much easier to get to a sensible setup for new users. If it weren’t for the AUR and the Arch Wiki, I would probably still be using it.
Have you ever even used opensuse?
Asshole meme template + really biased take. You really wanted to be downvoted aren’t you ?
doesn’t opensuse have guis for every single thing you could possibly do?
Arch based distros are pretty stable in my experience. I actually had much more problems on distros like Debian and PopOs than Arch.
Sorry. I didn’t even read it. I just down voted when I saw that terrible human being.
Arch stable ? I mean, from experience, I’ve had one break in stability so bad it made me hop : the lack of gentoo-like config protect. To be fair, I was on Artix but the breakage was versions of Pipewire deleting not just my changed config files but config files it couldn’t run without ! Or to be fair, also, actual Arch but on my phone, plasma 5 package conflicts (that came as is from the installation image) prevent the whole system from updating 🙃 … Never had any of those 2 problems on OpenSUSE or, to be fair, non-Arch-based distros
Nevermind : just got my boot borked on OpenSUSE (which is dumb as the rest of the system is fine but I can’t easily just reinstall just the boot) THANKS, TPMs Edit : “what do you think is stable then ?” idk, fcking Gentoo ? “And what if I don’t wanna compile blah blah” use linux lite, may not be rolling and pretty nooby but it is stable and the only one I feel comfortable handing to my mom (amongst the ones I’ve tried) without that much bloat
Always gonna downvote fascist memes.
