Ok but how did they fit tho
- Linux collects tracking information in the back to send perfectly fitting thigh highs on your location. Hope this helps.
  
  When do mine arrive? :(
- very well
You're welcome, and welcome to the club
Mazel tov. The next step down the rabbit hole is to get a tiling window manager like i3.
- I already have Hyprland installed
  
  Oof
  
  Cosmic by popOS is pretty slick.
- I haven't switched to it full time, still happy with KDE... but niri is really nice too
  
  Just finished my basic niri install on NixOS. Seriously loving it. Had been wanting to ditch Hyprland for a while, but kept hitting walls with tutorials and blogs trying to convince me to use flakes and home manager. Finally last night I sat down and completely rewrote my config to just be simple default config style and got niri working. Feels like the window manager experience I’ve been dreaming of my whole life.
you are now a femboy (BTW!)
- I'm a Transwoman though.
  
  nevermind then, i didn't notice, sorry
You know... It you don't want those stockings or ears 👉👈
How hard would be for me to switch coming from catchyOS? And would it be worth it lol
- Cachy is Arch based so unless you really want to customize your system its not worth switching IMO as you're likely already receiving the Arch benefits.
- CatchyOS is based on Arch, so it shouldn't be too hard. I have never used CatchyOS so this is from the perspective of a Fedora user who used ArchInstall.
  Arch is quite barebones in the sense it doesn't do GUIs for install and shit, it is terminal centric, that being said it is very fast and efficient and effectively you build your own set up (even in archinstall). Here's what I will say though (idk how much you've looked into it or what your skill level is)...
  If your installing over wifi, iwctl is how you connect to a wifi network. There's plenty of tutorials on this and there's the Wiki, so there's that. It's actually a piece of piss once you understand it.
  archinstall is your friend.
  File systems look confusing? Just use btrfs.
  In Audio systems you can choose what audio system you want, but I just use pipewire.
  Don't forget to set your network options to "network manager".
  Under profile, you can choose if you wanna set up a desktop, server, or whatever and in desktop you can choose whatever DE or WM you want. You won't get the full suite like with other distros, but you will get enough to operate your choice.
  waybar isn't installed automatically of if you are installing hyprland or such, bare that in mind. You will need this to access the nm-applet. Also you can fix the missing symbols in waybar by installing otf-font-awesome either before in Additional Packages or after with sudo pacman -S otf-font-awesome
  You can choose from the whole archlinux package repo in additional packages and here you can install anything additional you might need. I would recommend flatpak if you can't find what you want via pacman, whatever VPN you use, steam, a browser (take your pick) and waybar and otf-font-awesome.
  The wiki and DuckDuckGo are your friends.
  If you are not used to WMs but wanna use one, install a DE as a backup.
  Every morning/every evening/before you shut down for the night, open up a terminal and type sudo pacman -Syu to look for updates and install them. There's no "Updates available" notification for system shit here.
:3
I do use an arch-based distro tho I've never like gotten the bad sides? Maybe my distro maintainers are just that good
- Same, and the only few problems I've ever had with it have been due to Nvidia drivers, so not on them.
Meowwwwwwww!
Back in my day we had Unix beards, unkempt hair and no sense of fashion.
- Then all the sysadmins transitioned :3 /j
Im boxing with fedora at the moment myself. I hate that arch was easier.
- Ubuntu frustrates me more than arch.
  
  Arch has glorious documentation. That is literally the only thing that blows me away about it.
- what's your issues with fedora? every time in installed it, i had no problems.
- Fedora was also my first choice, but the allure of the AUR was too strong at the time and I didn't last a month...
  
  Selinux makes me homicidal and fedora always seems to be choking on….something. But it’s the most updated stable thing I can find.
  The AUR is irresponsible. Put a wili entry showing how to did something. Don’t just write a script and post it that you KNOW nobody is actually going to comb over.
- I left Fedora!
  
  Im leaning into it because arch linux on arm stuff is a joke compared to the x86 mainstream stuff. Fedora treats ARM as an equal.
- I feel this. I had to give up on connecting to my home wifi on windows server edition.
  This was right after I daily drove openbsd for 2 months. I was connecting to PEAP encrypted networks using wpa_supplicant and now I couldn't connect to my phone's hotspot.
why didn't I get any thigh highs or cat ears 3:
- I know! I didn't either! :(
i have to install pre-packaged arch images because my laptop doesn't have a ethernet port.
- Rest In pepperonies
  
  :(
mrrp :3
- Brrp!
