     @Suiseiseki@freesoftwareextremist.com @adachi@the.asbestos.cafe @meso@the.asbestos.cafe That's like something Terry Davis would say, but with the n-word.

     @Cyrillic @meso
     Artix is broken as fuck for me. The GUI installer has never worked for me.
     
     The manual install *did* work, but it broke after I enabled arch repos because the default repos are so sparse of packages. (at least, were. it's been years since I used it)

     @adachi @meso I have failed RMS (the base install was a pain in the ass and never booted for unknown reasons)

     @Cyrillic @adachi @meso You have inadvertently succeeded by failing to install such proprietary OS: https://www.gnu.org/distros/common-distros.html#Arch (Artix retains all of the problems of Arch and probably adds more).

     @adachi @meso In fact, rms originally programmed a GUI for GNU Emacs and he primarily writes the documentation now, which is arguably the guided user interface for command line software.

     @adachi @meso the GUI installer was easy, although the main one had a problem where your computer gets loaded with a lot of bloat programs you'll never use
     luckily they also have an experimental "online" one that works well for an easy minimalist&encrypted install (unless don't refuse to create a swap partition in which case it breaks)

     @adachi @Cyrillic @meso I think I'm the only person who actually wants to set up a window manager that looks like stock rio dude, flashy effects are too distracting when I am trying to be productive.
     
     Anyways making fun of flashiness aside how does Luke work with the windows only taking like 75% of the screen???
