[QUOTE=Makol;45647000]well that was uncalled for[/QUOTE]
There are few things I hate more than Eggos. For a whole year I had to eat those things every goddamn morning. And no matter how long I tried to toast them they always ended soggy and with cold spots. It pretty much made it impossible to eat them and I just ended up throwing them away or up.
sounds like you had a bad toaster
Eggos were too expensive growing up
Buttered toast or toast with peanut butter were my options if I even ate before school

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;45647408]I'm tempted, but worried about being prosecuted for operating a node that some sick fuck decides to use for CP.[/QUOTE]
That's only a problem if you run an exit node, not a relay. Since relay node traffic is encrypted, and no one would even prosecute any single person for that, simply because it would reveal that they could somehow intercept the real TOR traffic, and no one's going to reveal that ability if they had it, not for a while at least.
[QUOTE=lavacano;45642453]Pretty sure Gentoo is an enthusiast distro as well, and it takes care to even warn the ~arch users that some big thing is about to happen, whereas Arch just waltzes in with a fucking sledgehammer and breaks things and then flips out at you when you don't see the post hidden away in some obscure section of the site.
Basically Arch needs to die. If you [b]need[/b] a binary rolling release distro there's Debian's sid/jessie/unstable/whatever it's called[/QUOTE]
I'm a bit late, but I'm gonna throw my personal opinion in there aswell.
I don't think Archlinux is gonna dissappear anytime soon, and there is no real replacement for it:
* Debian Sid still has months old packages.
* Debian Unstable has more recent software, but I have yet to get it to successfully boot, and is a huge pain to install.
* Fedora Rawhide has the packages I want, but I can't get it to install (Installer Crashes, and using a stable -> rawhide migration goes nuclear upon boot)
The Installation process of Archlinux is something special like Gentoo's, compared to other distros. I personally don't want to use Gentoo, because I don't really fancy compiling my packages every update.
For me, the Archlinux installation is mostly painless, because I wrote all the special Steps I needed down, so I can just copy-paste them in a SSH session and I have a working system with X in 20 minutes.
If there would be a more convenient Distro that supports all my use-cases, I would switch to it gladly.
* Rolling Release
* Binary Packages
* Option to do a minimal install
* Up-To-Date packages.
* Clean way to install non-repo packages (PPA / AUR like)
Fedora Rawhide would fit in nicely, but the fact that it's installer is bugged bejond repair (I don't know how they did manage to do this) is really off-putting.
Every time I look for a distro that fits my needs, I always seem to go back to arch. This is mostly due to packages which are sometimes old as fuck. For me these are mainly programming related (Old, Python/Ruby/Go/Rust/NodeJS versions).
On the update thing:
An Archlinux update hasn't failed me a single time honestly. Even back in 2012 (I think) when the jump to Systemd was made.
At that day, then I simply did an update, the Updater did not update or break anything, because of the Systemd thing, some manual changes were needed, which was really nice.
IDK what experiences people have made with arch (Especially with update), but for me it has surprisingly held up nicely. I've been also running it on my work machine from 2011 to 2013. The same installation.

I run a non-exit node, they still help out the network, quite a lot actually.
If you don't have a lot of bandwidth, run a bridge node that helps people connect to the network.
Here's my node: [url]https://globe.torproject.org/#/relay/3309D710F43B769F11D4CA65F08961844658536C[/url]
Every Tor circuit consists of 3 nodes: guard, relay and exit.
You can run a non-exit, and it'll first act as a relay, and if you're reliable enough, you'll gain enough consensus weight that you eventually become a guard node, and you'll be the first hop into the network for people.

One of the reasons I stopped using it.

Debian has 3 stages: Sid aka unstable, testing and stable.
I think you mean sid here, but testing for the first one.
Packages are put into sid, if they're found to work there, they fall into testing, where they're kept until testing becomes the stable release, or an update is released before the freeze.
[QUOTE=kaukassus;45647461]* Fedora Rawhide has the packages I want, but I can't get it to install (Installer Crashes, and using a stable -> rawhide migration goes nuclear upon boot)[/QUOTE]
I never had problems getting anything Fedora-related installed, but I don't like the package management, and their package selection is limited.

Add in possibility to easily modify a package, if you need to.
You can grab the PKGBUILD that is used to build the binary packages that they release, modify it and then build your own package.
nano isn't going to benefit much from fucking around with compiler flags, and out-of-tree patches, but I might just do it for the kernel.
arch has always been my distro of choice
I keep hearing of people having major issues with Arch with everything breaking, but somehow I've never had anything major happen, and if anything minor broke, I never noticed it either way

Friend got a Lenovo Ideapad Y510p for 900€.

I refuse to honor these these terms and conditions because I am not being smug. You guys can't at all handle the fact someone doesn't want to upgrade.

Their t line is great, as is their E line except for the current lineup. And imo they have the best customer support in the business. But I guess all my dealings with them have been with a think product as a lenovo partner
