On android the app used to beg you to make it the default SMS app all the time, so lots of people probably use it without really trying to.

I’d guess .net is only needed for the launcher, did you try just skipping it?

Set launch options to…
eval $( echo "%command%" | sed "s/Launcher\/LariLauncher.exe'.*/bin\/bg3_dx11.exe'/" )

What something would that be?

EndeavourOS is basically Arch with a nice installer and a few extra QoL packages while Manjaro manages their own repositories and adds things like mhwd that change system management to be a little different than Arch.

I much prefer Endeavour since I already do everything from the command line anyway. Also, while most info about Arch applies to Manjaro it doesn’t always and I found that very annoying when trying to troubleshoot.

I’ve also installed Arch a few times and it went fine, but the Endeavour installer is a much nicer experience.

The vast majority of nvidia system breakage complaints I see seem to come from users of Ubuntu or it’s derivatives. I’ve been on arch based distros for 6 years now and every pc or laptop I’ve owned in that time has been nvidia and I have never had any problems.

My work better provide me a phone if they want me to use it for work.

If you have a screen protector you have to turn on screen protector mode to get the fingerprint sensor to work at any sort of acceptable level. Even then it is not nearly as good as without a screen protector.

Creating a GUI for changing a few lines of text in a file feels like a lot of extra work for no benefit for most developers.

On a large phone (so almost all of them) gesturing is much easier than reaching for a button. When I first switched it was slightly awkward because of muscle memory, but after a while gestures felt much better.

Windows has just become worse and worse over the years. I was building a new PC and realized I wasn’t going to give MS my money for a terrible OS when Linux was free.

I didn’t stick with Linux as a daily driver until I tried Manjaro. Learned enough to be comfortable installing Arch and ran that for a while, but after installing it a few times I was looking something a little bit simpler to setup. I now prefer EndeavourOS which is basically Arch with a nice installer and a few QoL apps.

Top result on Google is newpipe.net for me. Perhaps NewPipe has already submitted a counter notice and it has been restored? That’s how the DMCA is supposed to work.

That is good to know, but if you are missing something it seems you need to package it yourself. I’m sure I could do that, just not sure I really want to be doing it.

I haven’t used NixOS but it does sound interesting. From what I gather all you need is your configuration.nix file to rebuild the entire system the same as it was before. I think for sure the biggest thing I would miss is the AUR.

On google it’s the 4th result for me even in private mode which seems pretty reasonable. The first result is the firefox archwiki page.

See this issue.

I just did the suggested workaround and that worked. It also seems that installing lib32-libnm is probably a better fix, I’ll try that when I get home today.

I believe you just want to comment out the cdrom entry in the sources.list file.

Vanced distributed a modified Youtube apk which infringed on Google’s intellectual property rights. ReVanced is on much stronger legal ground since they only distribute their own software, the manager and patcher, and the patches to the Youtube apk. AFAIK the three strikes policy has to do with how ads are blocked on the youtube website so I guess we will have to wait and see.

There is a new project, ReVanced. They only provide patches so can’t really be shut down by Google.
