Proxmox community scripts has some nice update tools

Maybe I’ll reconsider. I really don’t know though.

I did a quick search and for steam the pacman package installed size is 19mb while the flathub package installed size is 51mb.

That’s actually a way bigger difference than I thought it would be.

I haven’t actually installed an aur helper yet but when I end up needing one, I think I will go with paru.

Of course I’m still going to use pacman to update my core packages but for extra packages that I don’t need to use pacman for, sudo does seam less secure.

Why would you download precompiled AUR binaries? it just seams more stable and secure to compile yourself, with this your trusting a third party when you didn’t have to.

Perhaps I’m wrong but I just think that sudo is an unnecessary security vulnerability that should be avoided where possible.

That’s interesting I have steam installed through pacman and I haven’t had any issues.

Topgrade seems really cool, I wonder how it compares to arch-update

Thanks for pointing this out, I just used an LLM detector and it said it was likely 100% AI generated.

Its different this time. And you know it.

Nix what the…

Thats great to here. Ive been using cachyos for a few weeks now and its been great so far as well, the aur is just amazing.

Sure, sure. But its definitely going to be this year.

Artix has gotton a real upsurge recently. At least it has on lemmy.

I use obsidian, I dont really have a self hosted setup yet but thats what I use to document desktop config and what I will use for my server when I get it running.

I’ll stop bothering you with my pesimism towards bsd and actually dedicate some time to reaearching it properly when my adhd inspires me to.

My current belief of it is that it is linux with less community support, less software support, less active development and just a worse overall experience.

Im sure Im wrong but its probably better for me to do my own research than get everything from you when the information is already available.

The article also characterizes the architecture of systemd as similar to that of svchost.exe, a critical system component in Microsoft Windows with a broad functional scope.[117]

Comparing someone’s Linux software with windows software is probably the worst insult you give give a Linux dev.

But yeah that makes sense, it’s just kind of bloated and has more features than it needs.

Also a lot of other libraries depend on systemd?

I can understand now, Linux has always been about options and systemd is making it harder for people to chose different options.

What about software compatibility? Its already not amazing on linux it would be even worse on bsd. I guess that is only an issue for you if its an issue for you.

I dont really understand artix linux. Is systemd really that bad?
