Well, Endeavour is just arch. If you want, you can achieve the same install that has only the things you need, by removing things instead of just adding.

IMO it starts off closer to the config most people want, so it’s less work to take it the rest of the way.

Short of answering any questions about a product I ask, all of them.

If I want or need something, I will come looking. Anything beyond that is the market trying to solicit demand where none need exist.

So much waste could be eliminated if that just… Stopped.

Not even close, if you actually install barebones arch, then barebones arch is exactly that, barebones. You wont even have a DE.

Endeavour is what you want. It’s just straight up arch, but with all the stuff you’d want to set up anyway done for you.

And if you want an “app-store” style app to browse packages with, and not fiddle with the command line to manage packages, install pamac. It can be expanded with AUR and flatpak support.

With AUR it’s as easy as installing any other package, actually.

You just install the git version from AUR.

No clue. Haven’t used it in years. I was done when I went looking for a fix for the compositor thing and found a years-old open bug report.

I do want to add that new games can also require new packages, the way Alan Wake II did at launch. Even on Arch you had to compile the development version of Mesa for it to run.

Cinnamons compositor doesn’t turn off for games (it’s supposed to but has been bugged for years) which costs you fps.

Playing Alan Wake 2 at launch was only possible with the latest Mesa drivers compiled from the AUR due to some graphics features that it required.

This feature is epic. Being able to save a file to my phone from my tablet or vice versa is fantastic.

Still just on the first step, embrace.

Apparently threads didn’t support federating replies (comments) on posts until this.

And you still won’t be able to reply to the federated comments on posts, just see them.

They are really not in a hurry to properly support federating. I honestly didn’t realize Threads’ federation support was this pathetic.

Modern ADSL and VDSL can get you pretty far… But they don’t hold a candle to fibre.

I have no clue what could be causing that. I’d start looking into each link in the chain and making sure it’s working.

But any halfway reasonable config should be able to handle audio playback, no matter how lossless. Audio-only just doesn’t achieve datarates that would choke up… Anything.

Essentially, benchmark file transfers, transcoding, etc. Make sure each step of how it works is in fact working. Check drive SMART health… Whatever you can think of.

Also logs. No need to read through thousands of lines, but looking at the lines time stamped around when the issue occurs is always a good idea. FFMPEG logs, JF logs, client player logs, does SMB or whatever network drive protocol you’re using have logs? If it does, check em.

Yeah that’s the right way.

You’ve still got some brackets in odd places but nothing that breaks anything.

Naw dude you just broke it.

They are telling you to remove the markdown links entirely, and just plain write the names of the communities, they will turn into local links on most clients.

Like games as an artform?

I think OP is looking for a desktop application, not a selfhosted cloud platform.

Lots of drugs and foodstuffs have biological effects we don’t understand.

Medicine doesn’t always work by looking at exactly how a molecule interacts with every other molecule in a living organism, but rather by simply observing the effects.

It doesn’t kill, and it works for most people. Ok, it doesn’t for you, that happens. But I can tell you for a fact it does for me.

That we don’t understand how it works doesn’t stop it from working, and that it doesn’t work for you, doesn’t mean it’s useless for everyone else.

I for one am happy I was able to buy paracetamol in addition to ibuprofen when I needed it to sleep during an extremely painful ear infection, because no over the counter drug on its own was enough.

If anything, public knowledge on what exactly it can and cannot do should be improved, as well as what side effects mean you need to look for something else.

I live in a country where there are strict laws regarding advertising of medical devices and drugs, so there’s very little “snake oil” bs around medicines here. If you let them brands try to claim every mild effect an effective ingredient might have makes their product a cure-all for a litany of symptoms.

Asking a pharmacist for a recommendation is always a good idea, that’s how I found out I could “stack” the painkilling effect of paracetamol and ibuprofen, and it worked extremely well.

Obviously, it would have been less ideal if like you I experienced side effects when taking paracetamol.

No.

Paracetamol/Acetaminophen is well understood, and an effective drug when used where applicable.

You are right in that nausea and abdominal pain are common side effects for some people, and simply means you should be trying something else. I’ve personally never suffered this.

Its ability to reduce fever is unclear, and even in high doses the difference it appears to make is minor. But for pain-relief there is no doubt as to its efficacy, though its effect is inferior to most other drugs available.

However, when taken together with ibuprofen, it provides pain-relief even more powerful than either drug alone.

If your problem is with the brand Tylenol advertising it like snake oil, then you likely have a point.

It can’t relieve cold symptoms except for a stuffy nose or significantly reduce fever. It’s basically just a very weak painkiller. I only ever take it if ibuprofen isn’t doing enough.
