Arch users, whats stopping you from switching to Parabola? A

Not everyone tat uses Linux is a castrated GNUmale like you, OP.

Arch is all about customizing your system. Parabola has no locked down unmodifiable components

Just because your intel botnet wifi card doesn't work doesn't mean none work.

I made the switch a few months ago. No regrets.
Librebooted, of course.
Also on my X200s (also liberated).

It does if you wont surrender to Dr (well, fake doctor) Richard Stallman's mental illness and refuse to use some shitty sub-par hardware otherwise you can't do jack shit with Parabola because you have no internet which is probably what Stallmanites and GNUmales want because they see it as a way to punish people not subscribing to their SJW/Vegan/Jehovah Witness cult.

Is the GTX 670 one of the last GPUs that works with nouveau without nonfree firmware? I think I heard it got harder with more recent nvidia cards.

>>60693050
If I don't use Arch then how do you explain this?

ls /lib/modules | grep ARCH
4.11.3-1-ARCH
extramodules-4.11-ARCH

>>60693072
That's correct, to my understanding—GTX 670 and GTX 660ti are the best GPUs supported by free firmware.

FTFY

>>60693627
Yeah but you can add non-free repos to a fsf approved distro, so it seems unnecessarily punitive.

"voidbringer"? That's not how hostnames work.

"bringer" is the white sun of Mirrodin. It is my fileserver.
"eyeofdoom", the blue sun, is my phone.
"ingle", the black sun, is my seedbox.
"skytyrant", the red sun, is my tablet and automobile head unit.
"lyese", the green sun, is my laptop.

"void" is from an old null/void joke I used to use in my naming conventions. Don't overthink it.

>>60693730
idk man i just think when you string together "void" and "bringer" it sounds like one of those edgy "hacker" aliases

but if ur basing ur naming schemes off like... magic the gathering cards, idk dude it's still pretty gay

Because as a normal user, I'm fine with dealing with software, specially thanks to great guides on things like the arch wiki. But hardware? I'm not even familiar with any tools that will ease the transition. The answer to a basic question like "What won't run on my specific machine if I install parabola?" probably requires manual work, using search engines and whatnot. (Unless I am mistaken and there is a tool that does something like "<somecommand> | grep linux-libre-incompatible")

Fuck

>>60693653
Are the OS maintainers the ones running the repo? If yes, the OS maintainers are the ones distributing nonfree software, and they are the issue. If no, they're not involved.

>>60693991
>>60693066
It's not breaking the law since it is a parody protected by fair use.

>>60694087
It may actually be a valid parody of the FSF in this case, so the use of the bold GNU head is fair. (The jew hands, on the other hand...)
I mostly just posted that since I figured the poster'd get mad (or laugh) at the pasta.

>>60693991
>or if you're using it in contexts talking about GNU in a [..] accurate way, you can also do this without permission

Well considering Stallman has admitted to being of Jewish decent (and managed to con people to work under his name for free for 3 decades) >>60692970 is certainly accurate.

>>60693627
> "and people can readily find these nonfree packages by browsing Debian's online package database and its wiki" gnu website

Again, even debian isn't accepted by GNU because it doesn't hide the non-free repository from users. What a censorship.

>>60693688
Those are pretty god names desu

>>60692480
Because if I want to install botnets on my free as in freedom system, then it is my god given right to do so.

>>60694576
>not promoting a product is censorship
...okay

>>60694658
Parabola allows you to do this. In vanilla Arch, you get to install botnets on your almost-fully-free-as-in-freedom system.

>>60692799
>Whats wrong with it on the desktop? "Come on" isnt really much of a reason
I like my proprietary GPU drivers.

What's the point? Arch is more popular so it has more support.

>>60700032
It's like saying what is the point of mint Ubuntu is popular so it gas more support
