I try to avoid any kind of "ThiNG BAd" statements. They're just not helpful, and they tend to piss off anyone who likes the thing.

Thanks for not jumping on me, though. I really don't mean any offense, just trying to be helpful.

I feel weird recommending this movie because I fully acknowledge it's not exactly good, but...

The Man Who Knew Too Little (1997)

This has long been one of my all time favorite comedies. I've seen it probably a half dozen times, and it still makes me laugh out loud. Bill Murray is brilliant and Alfred Molina is clearly having the time of his life. I absolutely love it.

The AUR isn't a package manager. It's a package repository that you can use a package manager (on Manjaro it's probably pamac) to install from.

There really isn't a more extensive package repository than the AUR, and there's definitely not one for any Arch based distro. If the package hasn't been updated in a while, you might have to go to the project website and check for an alternative install method, like Flatpak, AppImage, or a precompiled binary.

ETA - someone pointed out Nix, which I had totally forgotten about. I feel like everything else I say here stands though.

As a side note, and I'm likely to get jumped on by Manjaro fans for this, but on Manjaro extensive use of the AUR can lead to system instability. This is because the official repos for Manjaro are out of sync with the Arch repos, and you can run into dependency problems.

Kinda also an indictment of how much we pay teachers and firefighters.

Just sayin'.

Sorry, mate; the dark mode not working is the only thing I've noticed as of now. I mean, I literally installed 39 yesterday, so I haven't really had a chance to dig in yet, but so far it's not an issue.

There are none, I'm afraid.

I did. It's basically my first move after installing anything with a Gnome desktop; consistent theme is important to me and the GTK3 Adwaita-dark theme is a big part of that, otherwise gtk3 apps just look kinda... off.

Could that have messed up the Gnome default style switcher?

Good. Put him away for assault. Sentence him on live TV. Throw a fucking party as you throw the book at him.

Make. An. Example. Out. Of. This. Douchenozzle.

Once it clicked, it was kinda freaky. Descent two sentence horror story right there...

Gah! Yes, the vinegar is for the softener cycle! I fixed it in my post. Thank you, kind internet stranger!

Seems like if they wanted to avoid this sort of suspicion, they'd time the announcement for either right before or nowhere near when the scheduled sale would take place.

But then they wouldn't get to feel like a Bond villain, so…

• Use like half the recommend amount of laundry detergent. Unless your clothes are filthy, it's plenty, it'll save you money, and it's better for the environment.
• Add 1/4 cup white vinegar as if it were liquid fabric softener (the food grade stuff, not the house cleaning stuff). This aids the detergent and acts as a mild fabric softener. It rinces completely in the wash and doesn't leave an odor.
• Use dryer balls - 2 ot 3 balls of felted wool about the size of a tennis ball - in place of dryer sheets. They do almost as well at killing static and softening clothes without the chemical residue.

And, finally...

• Wash your clothes less often. Generally speaking, unless they're visibly dirty or smell, they don't need to be washed. This doesn't apply to socks or undergarments - those should typically be washed, or at least rinced out, with every wear.

Edit: clarification, with thanks to antimidas who pointed it out!
