If a laptop is left unattended long enough to do a fresh Arch install, it's probably been abandoned anyway.

Easy. Buy a new laptop, let them upgrade from w•ndows to arch, then dump arch for something like MX or whatever else I use in the future. Then I wouldn't have to touch the default w•ndows installation forced into me.

Look, windows is bad, but we should reserve asterisks for actually bad things that require censoring in all circumstances, such as Br*t*sh or *ng*l*sh.

Using two asterisks makes things italic. You can only use one

As long as you install and setup a DE for me!

Ordinarily I would be fine with this. I use Arch anyway. But an Arch system configured by somebody else? I'd be safer leaving my laptop at home!

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

I think that's the idea - I love how this is a double entendre for those that know....
