When did Manjaro release an image for x86 MacBooks ?

a long time ago; i used fedora on my macbook for almost 5 years, until it died

if you want to be a full greybeard, just tell them to rtfm instead of making it for them. lol

i’d image that you’d use other tools to do that and i ask because you’re not the first to extol 7z instead of the old tools that us greybeards of come accustomed to using over the last decades; i dont wanna be left behind to ossify. lol

i always envy people who can do formatting/styling well.

why 7z instead of tar with xz or gzip? is it better somehow?

ibm is going to buy the entire ansible-verse; so be ready.

i will weep with you in solidarity. 😉

also: if you don’t find a smoking gun, you can try increasing logging levels on your stack to get more info.

i presume that the check my consultation fee is in the mail? lol

it sounds like it unrelated to /etc/fstab and that there’s something in your systemd config that’s expecting it.

if you don’t have the name of the unit; i think you search through your systemd config in /etc/ to find & disable it. (ie grep -ir $uuid /etc/)

which systemd unit/target does it get stuck on?

same here; now i feel better about having to move off firefox eventually.

yes, there was an additional package you could install that came from the project that worked with xscreensaver

i forgot which desktop-environment/window-manager it was (icewm?) but it had a nice collection of old screensavers like the pipe maze and the bouncing marque and starfied warp and flying toasters, etc.

it was almost 20 years ago so i assume that ms or apple would have come suing by now

Based on the fact you’re using Arch I’m going to guess that you’ve already considered the distros they are meant for older hardware like damn small Linux and puppy Linux; but you want to set this up for a child and Hannah Montana Linux fits the bill even though this distro is mean as a joke, I bet the aesthetics will work.

i love this person’s work; i’ve been working in the linux sphere for over 20 years but this person always teaches something that’s new to me and more helpful than the tools i’ve been using to get the job done; sed/awk in this case. (plus, the sense of humor also makes it fun to watch).

i wish i were as rich as my fellow software engineers so that i can support her work because i’m convinced we need it in a world where people no longer have the same opportunities i had to learn this kind of tech because their smartphones inadvertently hide needful knowledge in the abstractions that make smartphones work.
