I think this is more about the UI, rather than the install. I haven't tried it myself though.

I think nowadays using quickshell anyone who is so inclined can vibecode their own UI though. I recently made the switch to Wayland/hyprland and rebuilt my polybar on quickshell, even adding widgets that allow getting system info/fine grained system control (interactive Bluetooth, WiFi, Volume, Brightness etc).

Ah yes, the solution to software with massive security holes is for everyone to vibe code their own software with massive security holes.

But in all seriousness, I am running omarchy now, and I will almost definitely be switching to arch at some point in the future.

Even if you introduce bugs in your UI (which I think is not very likely if you have a basic understanding of your system), the chance that someone would exploit software that literally only runs on your own machine seems extremely unlikely to me.

I've been using arch for over 10 years btw.

Isn't the other half of AI that we can afford to look for exploits in one-off software?

The old human nature tendency of "Just ship it!" and the desire to move on to the next shiny thing on our wishlist doesn't go away with AI. If it anything, it makes it worse.

I am not sure how someone would run an LLM on my computer to look for exploits as the source code is only available on my machine?

There is only so much a human can master in his lifetime. And if you choose to master the art of video production, then you are probably not spending that much time on mastering the thing you yap about on camera…

What?

Its perfectly possible to master two things. Video production isnt _that_ hard. Especially as lighting, shooting adding graphics and editing film is much much easier than 10 years ago.

I was watching one guy explaining the xv6 code and it was pretty much one shot with a single camera pointing at the listing on paper. Not sure if you need professional video if you want to really expound on something.

Am I missing something? What does pirating software has to do with that thread?

You are not missing anything for not knowing but Pirate Software in this context is another youtuber/influencer.

Sadly, true. I know a person who gets AI news from that YouTuber and quotes him like he’s a household name and pays him for some repackaged chat models. It’s tedious and hard to talk to them about basic/remedial aspects because their education from YouTube is half-heard and superficial. I’m trying to get him to invest the time in hands-on experience and then we can talk about that. When you’re deep into these channels, you’re not gaining experience and you can’t easily start until you pull away.

I had just enough issues with archinstall the last time I tried it that I went back to EndeavourOS which essentially gets you a GUI installer and some pre-installed utilities on the stock Arch install. The only significant change I'm aware of is that they use dracut instead of mkinitcpio.

Just use Fedora. It just werks (most times).

I like the very non-windows very non-mac ui of omarchy.

UI is desktop environment and (usually) ports to large-use distros cleanly.

I run Niri and Dank Material Sell on Fedora. It’s perfect, and better than Omarchy from what I’ve seen. I much prefer scrolling window managers to tilers.

is there a fedora 44 ws with non free package built in ?

You still have to use rpmfusion, which isn’t a huge deal. It’s maybe 5 min one time and then you are set.

Or you could use one of the Universal Blue spins. Bluefin and Aurora have non-free stuff built in and you can install pretty much any package from anywhere.

oh thanks a ton

Fedora is an arse to use. most of the distros for non free software are targeted at stable RHEL, so are miles out of date.

You only get 6 months of updates, at which point everything break subtly, or not if you use nvidia.

ubuntu with a custom GUI is the way forward, at least compared to fedora.

No harm, no foul izacus. I am laughing inside because I'm included in the "angry" group by default (I hate all Linux distros, less than Windows or MacOS) and I'm often a basic docker user but got over major DE customization like Omarchy when I needed to get thing done at a higher rate (back then the coolness was crunchbang).

Omarchy imo is best for agent maxxing Mac power users who aren't locked into Apples proprietary apps like Final Cut, audio production software or Adobe and Affinity, so maybe not so great for designers and photographers as the main system.
