Where? I don’t know who’s project your referencing?

Actually, I don’t care enough. I didn’t realize I responded to your follow up to someone posting their custom install scripts. I meant generally that’s not an issue I’ve ever come across. Then again, I don’t tend to install distro’s that simply add a couple custom wallpapers and welcome app. I’ll stick with base install from the source.

Why would it not? I think maybe a few times in 20 years I’ve come across an installer that didn’t let you do custom partitioning.

No one brings up Discord? You really believe you’re talking to your friends in private? So discord pops up all those years ago and provided the service out of the kindness of their heart? For free? The terms of service is much more lawyer speak these days but when it first made it’s debut they openly admitted to recording audio and storing data. It requires your phone number for goodness sake. It’s the only app mentioned that’s actual purpose is to listen.

Not everyone who participates with their own instance can afford storage. Some users might have bandwidth restrictions. It’s the Fediverse baby. I’m getting 90s internet vibes. Wild, unpredictable and most import, controlled by the users.

Thank you. I recently set up my own instance and realized the need for tools that can assist in managing.

You must be confused. No one wants the actual answers in this community. They simply take scenarios a beginner might experience before doing any research at all and type them in-front of poorly compressed cartoon images. No thought or humor involved. Since everything is new and users are desperate for content, it gets votes no matter the quality.

That’s the exact opposite philosophy of the technology you’re leveraging. As the apps add more features and the fediverse grows, it will make more sense.

Imagine installing Linux and having Microsoft word, Adobe products, or some games pre-installed without pain.

That’s Windows. What you’re looking for is Microsoft Windows. I would very much not like to imagine that.

Yeah, I mean what can you do? If the drivers / functionality didn’t exist previously then what options do you have? These are normal growing pains for an OS clawing it’s way into being supported by desktop hardware manufacturers.

Users don’t install and configure from a base install because it’s “good’r”. It’s done because users know what they need and it’s nice to know exactly how it’s working if/when you have to troubleshoot. This is certainly not limited to Arch. Also doesn’t Arch have a pretty decent installer now?

It was weird back in the 90s in the Midwest when metal heads got called “weirdos” for hanging out in record shops, wearing comfy baggy clothes, and rocking band tees. But then in the early 2000s, sappy, emotional pop rock became the new trend. The same people who used to make fun of metal heads started dressing like that teenager in the picture and hanging out at Hot Topic in the mall. It was ridiculous.
