  • I only joke about Arch being the superior distro because, well, I use it and because it’s apparently a thing.

    I actually don’t have any strong feelings about Ubuntu. It’s a distro. It works. I only use Arch because of the AUR (I’m lazy, okay?). I don’t have strong feelings about it either. Linux is configurable to basically exactly what you want. Once (or if) you get into customization you just pick the distro that allows you to get to what you want faster.

    I do have strong feelings about Windows though.









  • Again, I don’t condone piracy.

    It used to be that you could install a legitimate Adobe and use then the only thing you would need is a key generator that would open the software. In essence, the entire software is located on your computer.

    I was under the possibly mistaken impression that they took away the ability to register offline, and put the license server online. In other words, you’d have to patch the code or fake the license server to do accomplish the method of years prior



  • While its possible to find or build a distro without systemd, most of the big names that you would introduce people to use it:

    Ubuntu, Debian, Red Hat, Fedora, OpenSUSE

    Hell, Arch uses it

    I do get your point about GNOME, and I don’t use a DE anymore so I might be outdated, but Gnome and KDE were the big two back when I used it.

    I say obfuscates because gnome configuration is now largely binary, whereas gnome2 used to be text files. The same goes for systemd- the logs are now binary files with journalctl instead of text files
