I see Shelly, package manegement is a thing in a new CachyOS (Gnome).

Instead the Gnome Software installer is gone (I use Bazaar so no biggy) and the activity monitor is gone, and I don’t know the name of it, so I can install it again 🙈

This is not changes that makes a big difference for me, but it is changes that makes it slightly harder being new to Linux on CachyOS

just updated arch_check: Health checkups for #Arch user in pure #python

https://github.com/kidpixo/arch_check
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arch-check

v0.4.0 adds two new AUR checks (--aur-stale for version tracking and --pacman-log for system change monitoring) plus intelligent PKGBUILD scanning that auto-whitelists known-safe patterns to reduce false positives. Improvements include better error severity filtering, maintenance-aware systemd timers, enhanced port parsing.

Trying to figure out why my computer's disk light is blinking a lot and Firefox is frequently accessing its cache (doing it a lot for mastodon dot online) and kded6 is looking at my mounted partitions occasionally. Using a program called "fatrace" (likely pronounced FA-Trace) as mentioned here:

[SOLVED] Recurring problem with excessive hard disk activity / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums

got tired of #nixos-unstable breaking so often so now im trying to roll back to 25.11 till 26.05 is released (which would be this week but still)
first lutris, then gdm, then freaking steam... shouldnt use beta software

never had any such problems on #arch btw but will keep trying to like nixos... it wouldve been much easier if it wasnt breaking so much

Video from DC's Memorial day march against Trump's arch

This is footage of DC activists line dancing as they march across Memorial Bridge to the site of Trump's arch near Arlington Cemetary

#Trump #arch

Tried to install Bitdefender GravityZone on EndeavourOS and the instructions to make it think it's on Debian don't work now so I tried a container with Distrobox but it doesn't have access to do systemd stuff so my only choices now are write a pkgbuild (as suggested on the Arch forums) or use a Debian VM or regular install and hook stuff up to it when I want to scan stuff.
