SteamOS is arch based… As a note.

CachyOS is literally what people seem to think steamOS is. Bonus points it’s not atomic.

And if your in Alabama it could be both! If your in Appalachia it’s always both!

Gold and silver caught on because they are rare for surface deposits making them rare, non reactive making them good for coins. Soft and easy to work with, again good for coins. But durable enough and most importantly heavy enough but not too heavy to be not easily lost. Again making them good for coins.

It literally just comes down to they were useful to make coins.

Look to South America where they would “waste” oodles of gold on religious rituals.

Practicality is first, foremost and the only reason something catches on and then STAYS popular.

Over time that practical reason can fall away and stop mattering but to get started you need practicality

Isn’t fiat currency functionally based on taxation and the value represented by the tax?

We have communal effort, we tax the community to pay for that effort to pay the workers, and the value created by that labor is thus the value of the currency.

The work makes debt, we tax to pay down that debt. The currency represents the movement of the value between parties.

So long as movement is sustained we have value that backs the currency.

Thus so long as we have community we have value.

Why would you use liBADwaita… There are perfectly reasonable alternatives.

Iv always found Celsius makes way better sense for material tempature and Fahrenheit for the weather.

Celsius is no where near granular enough for the weather not by a fucking long shot.

I rather use the arbitrary jacket scale and shorts scale then Celsius for weather.

Is it jacket weather or shorts weather are the only two criteria. And it varies person to person and has zero ability to be translated between people. Yet everyone understands it natively and intuitively anyways.

Of course a warner would know how to properly cook.

Well for one of those two both the fake units and the American ones are the same.

DPS meters, trade tools, stat trackers, and a host of other tools. Full isolation is a huge pain in the ass. It’s why I hate flatpak games too. They tend to fucking suck or flat out not work at all the moment you want to use community tools.

There definitely is a line here that goes too far.

You can pry the white monster from my cold dead grippers.

There’s always bad advice going on. That’s like the single biggest problem with the Linux community since time began.

The Linux communities biggest problem is being unable to remotely grasp the concept of good advice for “truly” new or low skilled users.

Even the best attempts still tend to fall victim to the curse of knowledge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_knowledge

Then when you combo that with the all too frequent Dunning Krueger problem new users tend to have.

You get shit like this.

It’s honest and I respect that.
