• The Home Server Journey - 1: Motivation and Approach
  2 projects | dev.to | 15 Sep 2024

  If you've ever tried using a non-mainstream Linux distro, you probably know the pain of looking for a package, not finding it even in a third-party repository, trying to compile it from source and failing miserably over and over (Been there. Done that). Manjaro, as an Arch-based OS, at least has the very welcome access to the AUR, a community repository for compilation scripts that automate the process for us mere humans, but not all are regularly maintained and many still break, for a plethora of reasons that you eventually have to figure out and fix in a case-by-case basis

• Penguin, Chicken or Duck? (Eros, OC, Microsoft Bing AI Generated)
  1 project | /r/MildFemboys | 9 Dec 2023

  Arch is a popular Linux distribution(basically an os). Him saying that he uses arch is basically a joke that arch Linux users will always mention that they use the distro. (Also a penguin is also the Linux mascot)

• Arch Linux bugtracker migration to Gitlab completed
  2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 8 Dec 2023

  Arch sends distribution news every week or so, usually in one or two paragraphs.

  https://archlinux.org/

  I've followed the gitlab migration and every package and distribution change that warranted community notification for more than a decade.

  It's such an empowering feeling to have tracked all the changes to the distribution over a decade. The Arch maintainer culture has managed to provide consistent high quality communication and documentation.

  Most of the news doesn't require action on my part regarding a subsystem or package I don't use. But they use the news channel sparingly and the distribution is minimal and clean. So news arrives only every other week or so and is succinctly written in one or two paragraphs.

  It's a distribution for those who love precision and professionalism.

• Thinking of learning Linux for a potential IT career, is it worth it?
  1 project | /r/linuxquestions | 7 Sep 2023

  Since you want to use Linux in your job function, I would suggest you start with Arch Linux OS. https://archlinux.org/ Arch linux and arch based linux's like Manjaro, start you off in teaching you linux by making you install it and do everything from the command line. Nothing gets installed unless you want to install it. They have an extensive Arch Wiki that will walk you through anything you might need to learn.
