CachyOS automatically does bootable BTRFS snapshots with every update. I don’t really see any advantage of atomic distros over this.

Cardcaptor Sakura and Mahojin Guruguru are, off the top of my head, both older examples that still used 2D magic circles.

This entire situation is just pure MAGA PR BS. Trying to pass these refunds back to consumers is extremely impractical, bordering on logistically impossible, and managing it would certainly cost more money than the amount of the actual refund.

They knew these tariffs would be passed on to consumers when they created them in the first place. In both cases, it’s Trump trying to deflect the blame onto these companies for a situation that he created.

It’s literally just picking which snapshot you want to boot in the boot loader and then accepting the prompt to make that one the new default after you’ve verified it works. It’s not possible for old binaries to be running.

It’s a little more effort to maintain compared to something like nix, but Arch (including CachyOS) doesn’t have the same config drift problem as distros like Debian, because it has pacdiff to let you consolidate any updated defaults with your own settings.

CachyOS does this just fine with bootable BTRFS snapshots before and after each update, without forcing me to use Flatpaks that don’t support all of the features of the normal apps or else break the immutability. For example, it’s not possible to get all Discord features working in Flatpak (even with tinkering) due to inherent limitations of Flatpak.

There has always been new local privilege escalation bugs every month on Linux, and they’re not a big deal.

I use Strawberry

I was ready to be annoyed that they had co-opted such an iconic name for some dumb fish that had no relation at all to the character… and then I saw the picture.

That is one Snuffleupagus-looking son-of-a-bitch.

Good

I have no reason to use a raw distro that requires customization when there’s a better version that already comes preconfigured.

Roku still exists?

Why should they? AUR is still working as intended. It’s basically a public wiki of shell scripts, it was never intended to be secure in the first place. It has always been the user’s responsibility to review everything or avoid using it.

No, the entire point of AUR is to be a repository of unreviewed publicly submitted scripts. Malware has always been an expectation. If you don’t want that risk, don’t use AUR.

I’ve been accidentally boycotting Xbox for the past 20 years because they never had anything appealing in the first place.

The way to prevent it is to get more stuff into the official repos so people aren’t forced to rely on AUR in the first place.

Because y’all missed the point that the main selling point was not having to repartition. Booting from GRUB is still the primary use case.

People told you AI would break shit. You used AI and it broke shit. You then failed review the broken things and also failed to test them, and then released it to everyone. Get off the high horse.

While it’s true that nobody is owed anything by an open source project, the appropriate response here is still to apologize for your poor judgement, and to discuss how you’ll be improving your processes to prevent this from happening again, not “lol I’ll do it again”.

Anyone relying on this tool should start migrating to one of the many alternatives.
