I dont like linux, it's not customizable enough.
I prefer taking a high powered lazer pointer and shooting it at specific spots on the discs of my HDD, so I can really customize my OS.

what the forget is up with these loving flags are they on drugs or something stuff
maybe it's because i'm trying to figure them out at midnight but jesus christ

-Syy and -Syu have humongous differences! wtf! wtf does -y even do?!? the manpage has some arguments listed multiple times with different meanings based on context! why can't i just pacman --upgrade like debian??? why is debian sane!??

[/Pacha]

pacman -Syy syncs Arch with the repo, pacman -Syu will do a system upgrade

not hard

any command with -S will sync or install packages (or search for packages), the extra parameters determine exactly what to do
add -y and it will synchronize the package lists, add a second -y to force it to happen even if they're already up to date (eg pacman -Sy or pacman -Syy)
add -u and it will add all packages that need updates (eg pacman -Su)
add -s and this command will search for packages (eg pacman -Ss gaj)
so for example pacman -Syyu gajim will force update the package lists, add all packages that need updates and add gajim, then install those
the reason -y and -u are used together often is that you'd first want to check what you want to update before you update
it might be a bit clusterforgety at first, but it's certainly not hard ^^ ♥

learning about server connections
i'm surprised i got socket.io to work on linux :D

but sadly i have to go to a place where i'm educated about unneeded subjects, so i won't have any time to work on it until the afternoon sighe

of course it would work :p ever tried installing stuff on windows? never works, so many issues, omg i want to die, etc
i still prefer raw websockets over socket.io, though…
and i prefer stanza.io over errything but that's XMPP :3

I know dude tell me about it. Installing git and crap like that when I can just install it from pacman.

Anyways I really do want to look more into this server thing when I get home. I have a fully working website so I bet I could host some kind of cool chat server on there

what is the equivalent to apt-get install -y git on arch?
I have pacman -S git but I need the -y flag from apt-get
also how do i reorder the stuff in grub
it used to be
Crunchbang
Crunchbang recovery
Windows
now it's
Manjaro
Manjaro Recovery
Windows Vista bootloader (idk, it's XP)
Crunchbang
Crunchbang recovery
I'm all like wtf - I want this
Manjaro
Crunchbang
Windows
Manjaro Recovery
Crunchbang Recoveryalso whenever i boot without an ethernet cable plugged in, it disables the ethernet network device
this is not helpful, considering i can't get wireless to work either (course, i could just read the wiki more carefully to fix that problem, but i still want my ethernet to just work)
also i installed tor via pacman -S tor and it isn't starting on boot or at all
how do i make it start?

ummm, it skips the "do you want to install these packages, they'll take up X MB of space [Y/n]" message, assuming yes

oh, in pacman you'd do, for example, pacman -S --noconfirm git
