  • Why expose yourself to legal risk by torrenting media (which involves uploading which is distributing) when you can find sites that stream it for you? Just go to Yandex and look up “blah stream” and you’ll find tons of sites streaming whatever you want.

    I do this because I’ve tried to watch movies with online friends but every major streaming service I tried won’t let me share my screen and stream. They all break somehow. I’m not sure if it’s intentional or what, but it doesn’t matter.




  • Sure, but the user knowing how to fix something or not wasn’t the problem or related to anything you said. It’s that you said they seem pointless to you and went on to describe their exact point of existence.

    To be very clear, I’m not trying to make an argument for or against Arch derivatives, I just thought it was funny that you said they’re pointless because you can customize them when people use them specifically because they don’t want to bother with doing those customizations themselves.

    I would consider using Endeavor OS because I just want something that can do basic work once it’s installed (I use CachyOS which is also an Arch derivative, but it modifies core packages which is different from what you’re talking about). Manjaro has separate criticisms, I’m not saying it’s “good.” I’m just saying it shouldn’t be surprising that someone wants to use Arch and wants customization on a bleeding edge, rolling release, but wants a system that isn’t quite so minimal once they’re done installing.

    (I should try to install Arch to a VM or something and use this archinstall script. Because if it works as well as everyone says then my opinion might be different.)
