Re: Arch GNU/Linux install for beginners and new users

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



* Talks about distros that aren't Arch on a Arch mailing list
* Starts calling it Arch GNU/Linux (from here on out I will personally call

* Compares the CoC to slavery (unfortunately missed the opportunity to use
Reductio ad Hitlerum)

Any particular reason you're trolling the mailing list?
