  • I haven’t used any of the arch install scripts but they seem to have regular problems. Doing it the usual way is a proper way to roll your own but it doesn’t give you options. You have to know what you want, or you have to know where to find out what exists.

    The guided installer is going to be important to a type of person we’re going to see more and more of: power users that know what they want to do, but for whom the Linux ecosystem is a foreign and fractous entity what uses entirely unfamiliar nomenclature.











  • I enjoy retrogaming as much as the next guy but it makes the Linux community look detached from reality to suggest that video games are a commodity. People want to play specific games. If pleading with people to be satisfied with native offerings was a winning argument it would have won twenty years ago. Emulation is an incredible experience on Linux but to do it legally requires you to already own the proprietary rom and bios almost without exception, which I notice is conveniently omitted from the discussion.
