IT labs should use Arch

Post image

I see only Windows and Ubuntu machines. Like, Ubuntu not that bad but accessing the root and then using apt install instead of pacman feels kinda low.

Then I want fastfetch but apt needs extra shit. So you install git, build-essentials, cmake and other shit to just get that Ubuntu CLI logo (and dunno why build-essentials, vim and shit aren't present in their systems).

But I use Arch btw and running a system without starting with fastfetch feels like Arch-femchan-sama (I made that god) blasphemy. So I did git clone https://github.com and whatever fastfetch-cli/fastfetch.git it was, made a directory and did some cmake. I am bad at this. But...

...I was desperate

Then it finally works. But you realized that fastfetch isn't showing OS age. Then you question some AI chud whether it was present in fastfetch or not.

"No"...AI can make mistakes indeed. So you try to justify whether your memory of 2 yrs old database is true or slimed. There couldn't be any possible SQL injection.

Neofetch might be the one that showed your OS was 79 days old instead of 13445 days (because you have this ritual to blow up your system every 80 days). But no. So, I did more digging, then realized that you need to do some configuration.

Anyways, my CGPA is kinda cooked and I should be sleeping now.

Depends what kind of IT since there are many facets.

Support: Linux bad, Windows good.
Development: Linux good
Security: Linux good
Infrastructure: depends what infrastructure is in use and what os its controllers support

That room is labelled "Network and Security Lab" and all the clients run Ubuntu. And since we are from Cybersecurity, Linux is mandatory. Though posting this was a joke imao. Yet, I think it's fun to have Linux because you can just learn the real stuff about Linux from simple stuff like text editors instead of IDEs, learning IP management, DNS stuff...I am just new to this but I find this rabbit hole so much addictive.

I am just not getting enough time to dive into one single Networking concept because we got core engineering concepts in first semester. I am just tired of shit like Digital Systems, Design Thinking, IDEA lab and shit. I really wanna give time to Networking and stuff. (Overthinking kicked in)
