  • Big thing that people don’t understand about Arch is that AUR is not part of distribution itself and package recipes there will break and mainteiners will go missing and arch won’t care about them breaking.

    Arch is extremely stable if you can read (this is not a joke). As in before doing system upgrade visit news and check if there is a need for manual steps during upgrade, you’llneed ro do something once or twice a year. And you actually need to read wiki and manual pages before doing things you aren’t sure about.

    As for manual step-by-step install, you can do it with almost any distro. For example you can partition disk, mount everything and install core packages using dnf --installroot=... from fedora live, same idea with debian based distros.











  • Undoubtedly, the most advanced systems in the world are being devised in laboratories in the US and China. A Pentagon programme known as Replicator 1 is due to deliver “multiple thousands” of all-domain autonomous systems by August 2025.

    Why is this undoubtedly? Fact is, most other countries right now are lagging behind in this field and without extensive field testing whatever these labs will produce will be years behind state of the art. You can’t design these things blind and both US and China actually lack people that have experience in drone warfare or it’s years outdated so design decisions beyound basics will be worse, then those that were made with consultations and input from people that actually using the drones. There is no doubt that both US and China can pour a lot of money into it, and make great machines from engineering standpoint and they won’t perform as expected. Drone warfare in current form is pretty new and ideas iterate very fast, and army procurement is anything but fast.
