to be fair i actually didn't update for a few months

Net upgrade size: -0.01MiB

OOOH YEAH! Now that's how you debloat.

The only orgasm arch users will ever get
- Hey. Just because my partner (understandibly) didn't last long enough fucking me for me to orgasm via prostate stimulation through anal doesn't mean I get no action.

My strategy is to add updates to an hourly cronjob, and curse profusely when it downloads a bad update.

You mean you don't have yay -Syu --noconfirm in your .bashrc?
This is the arch way

laughs in Tumbleweed with texlive

Slowroll can alleviate that pain, if you're fine with non-security updates being delayed by up to six weeks or so.
- It actually works perfectly, i just hit it on Friday mornings when i remember and it is done in 15 min or so. I love Tumbleweed
- IIRC they ship security updates immediately.
I installed a KDE latex math tool that came with texlive as a dependency. Shit's awful when doing updates.

I ended up uninstalling the tool and texlive, and installed tinytex instead. I then tabood texlive and reinstalled the tool from software.opensuse.org as the YAST GUI allows you to ignore dependencies.

It works in the KDE tool and in one note taking app with latex math support, but I haven't tried adding new packages yet. I don't know how good of a solution this would be if you use latex outside of just rendering a couple of equations, but it could be worth a shot

If you're trying to be darkmode friendly, you should try using something dark for the background with light text, because this only achieves a bad contrast ratio, and it is actually worse for most of the people looking at it.

For a grey background, yellow text is usually preferred.
- Usually, they use a light grey instead of white, so the text doesn't become overly bright, but not yellow, that's usually reserved for highlights or similiar effects, except when in „High contrast mode”, when they use yellow for text/outlines and black as a background
thanks. will consider this next time

What is that crap? Someone needs to ILoveCandy ... Newb

Nah i left it out on purpose. I prefer the default in this case

I run POP_OS, so I have to depend on Steam updates to randomly turn my laptop into a jet engine.

I update only when I reboot the machine or I have to. So it is normal for me to go 3, 6 months without updates. So it is always like 1 to 5 GB of updates. And that is because I decided to not install texlive again.

i can barely read the text D:

May i ask which text specifically?

Cause for me everything is easily readable
- the black text with gray background. i was in a slightly sunny place and my phone's brightness isnt very good, and together with the low contrast (dark text on dark background) its almost unreadable
Does your lemmy app let you zoom images at all? Or is it still too small when you do?
- the text on the top of the image has low contrast and i was on a sunny place, so it ws almost unreadable

I actually had to switch away from testing to stable due to NVidia + Kernel 6.11 being very buggy, especially in games. My Laptop and server are still holding strong with Non-NVidia GPUs using testing though!
