  • To me, I dont care if my friends remember my birthday. I care if they are genuine friends and I have good conversations and laughs around them.

    Someone remembering your birthday is just them putting a reminder in the calendar. Doesnt mean much, not to me at least.

    So you have an actual human connection to these people? Friends could have a laugh over forgetting someones birthday, because its built on a real connection that doesnt go away over missing the small things.







  • I think it depends a bit. Your first times with arch is definently experimental. You install it, you learn to configure things, and at some point you probably want to reinstall, because you have done something that makes the system be buggy. I reinstalled lots of times in the beginning.

    But you learn proper Linux by using arch. At least if you actually do the install yourself by following the wiki. You will change a few things in a few config files and you will learn about Linux from that.

    After that initial phase of reinstalling lots of times, you start to feel like you know the system intuitively. You know where the system looks for things, which files are read. Then you feel like you really like arch because now you dont break it anymore, and if you do, you can fix it.

    Maybe its like that with other distros too. But for me, arch has been that journey. Im on a arch installation from december 2022 now appearently.
