But are the thigh high socks provided or must I purchase them separately?

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 109 points 4 months ago

You'll know you completed the installation successfully when you look down and see the socks have materialised

[-] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 65 points 4 months ago

TIL that unix socks are actually a parasitic lifeform, transmitted via arch isos.

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 39 points 4 months ago

More of a symbiot than a parasite, it's not like the host doesn't benefit from them!

[-] bitwaba@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

That's why I only use my socks by proxy

[-] Petter1@lemm.ee 15 points 4 months ago

Installing Arch makes you a Femboy?

[-] smeg@feddit.uk 23 points 4 months ago

It's probably not mandatory, I imagine the arch wiki explains all the details

I really want one of those pairs, for my knees get cold in winters.

Guess I'll install Arch for a freebie.

Ordinarily I would be fine with this. I use Arch anyway. But an Arch system configured by somebody else? I'd be safer leaving my laptop at home!

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 31 points 4 months ago

I think that's the idea - I love how this is a double entendre for those that know....

[-] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 81 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

If a laptop is left unattended long enough to do a fresh Arch install, it's probably been abandoned anyway.

Unnaproved software installation implies an obligation to provide user support... indefinitely.

[-] nichtburningturtle@feddit.org 51 points 4 months ago

The arch installing bandit is anonymous. Noone knows how to reach him

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 37 points 4 months ago

Like the guy that installed Windows on your machine without you asking...

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

That same guy started covertly encrypting users' data and then the fucking keys stopped working. I'll take zero support over that.

[-] wazzupdog 20 points 4 months ago

I head cannon the arch installation bandit as a girl.

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

Why is it "head cannon" and not "head canon"? You got some kind of gun strapped to your head that you keep stories in?

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

Actually I think they mean that "as a girl" (meaning the commenter is a girl), they "head cannon" (meaning they use a cannon to shoot heads) "at the arch installation bandit". I hope this annotated version helps!

Easy. Buy a new laptop, let them upgrade from w•ndows to arch, then dump arch for something like MX or whatever else I use in the future. Then I wouldn't have to touch the default w•ndows installation forced into me.

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 26 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Look, windows is bad, but we should reserve asterisks for actually bad things that require censoring in all circumstances, such as Br*t*sh or *ng*l*sh.

[-] DerisionConsulting@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 months ago

Using two asterisks makes things italic. You can only use one

[-] dumbass@leminal.space 15 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Just drop a \ in front of the first * and you're all good.

[-] Nutteman@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

dammit I should know this by now lma

Or maybe Carmen is a Linux user idk i just work here man.

[-] radicalautonomy@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago

Good work, gumshoe.

[-] shalva97@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago

broken Nvidia Optimus free of charge

[-] areyouevenreal@lemm.ee 10 points 4 months ago

Afaik Nvidia Optimus works fine on arch if setup following the wiki. It's mainly other distros that have Nvidia problems.

Where do I drop them off?

[-] JATtho@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I actually don't get the fuzz/meme about Arch Linux. Yes, the installer drops you into a shell where you need to fix the keyboard layout for starters and the next thing is preparing enough disk resources for the OS which is somehow ungodly hard. My point is that if you can't then you are not qualified to maintain the installation, or actually RTFM and start to fr think what you do.
