    Very dumb question, but I'm kinda new to Linux. Do I have to manually update that or does it just do it when I update packages and the like? I'm on Arch btw.

    What's so funny? Like I said, I'm new to Linux.

    You may think you're new....but clearly you have the spirit of a Linux veteran.

    [–] [email protected] 61 points 2 days ago

    "I use Arch BTW" is a meme in the Linux community. It reflects the perceived urge of Arch users to boast about using it.

    Welcome to Linux :)

    There's no way you're so new to Linux that you wouldn't know if that would update automatically yet you're running Arch btw. That's like saying, "Do I need to do oil changes on my car? I built my engine, btw."

    [–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago

    all you have to do to "run" arch is type out some lines from a YouTube video and press enter. With all the people saying "Arch! Arch!" at every corner it's totally understandable that someone would try it and still be confused on basic stuff.

    [–] FooBarrington 14 points 1 day ago (4 children)

    Nah, there's a bunch of people (even on Lemmy) that recommend Arch or Arch-derived distributions to newbies. Many mention they haven't used any other distro themselves.

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago

    People are nuts

    I once had someone tell me that they use Arch on there server since it is stable. If it works that is fine but don't go around telling people that Arch is more stable than Ubuntu, Rocky or Debian.

    It does it automatically.
    But make sure to read the Arch news before every update, especially when it's a lot of packages. Something big like a new KDE Release might require minor manual intervention.

    [–] [email protected] 36 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

    I'm more of an "update first, care later" type of person

    And it works great, 100% recommended to newbies

    Oh and make a separate home partition, just in case

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

    No separate home needed, just save important files in your nextcloud server

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

    The server runs arch too x)

    I just update, never had an issue.

    Just read the output of yay/pacman and you’ll be fine.

    Me who uses GNOME on Debian stable

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago

    Gnome on Debian is fairly out of date. I personally like all the new features.

    However, I think it would be cool if you could run Fedora with gnome in Podman. Solid base with containers for newer stuff.

    [–] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago (6 children)

    I've tried really hard to like GNOME, but god damn we don't get along. Debian 12 is solid AF though.
