hello from manjaro linux! man, the fact that firefox syncs my passwords makes me feel so spoiled. i didnt have to remember jack shit

Follow

im gonna make a separate /home partition so i can try other distros if i feel like it

time to... figure out how to do that, exactly

@EeveeEuphoria oh boy im looking forward to all my software being three years old

@typhlosion you'll be yearning for a morsel of stability, and you'll question why windows users ever demand the latest and greatest at the cost of constant blue screens

@EeveeEuphoria remember that i am also a windows user. this is what system restore points are for

@typhlosion system restore points that don't restore the system at any given time ever

that's my experience with windows anyways

@typhlosion fwiw linux has an equivalent system, but that system Actually Fucking Works, especially on btrfs filesystems (idk if manjaro uses that by default or not)

@typhlosion oh wait i think manjaro actually has the software for it baked in so i think it should, it's called timeshift

on arch linux it'll run every time you do a system upgrade i think

@EeveeEuphoria oki

fwiw i have almost never had a problem that necessitated actually using a system restore point and the few times ive used them have been fine. maybe this is because i am not especially cavalier with my computer usage

@typhlosion i haven't been either, i don't do anything weird but i guess windows just really fucking hates me lmao

@typhlosion but yeah timeshift works well and has saved my ass multiple times when something got borked
