archinstall?
Back in my day, we needed to do all of that by hand, and there wasn’t even arch-chroot, no, we had to bind mount dev, proc and and sys manually as well!
Though in fairness, before that, there was the AIF, which I also used, but that doesn’t sound so manly.
It’s just good business, cutting costs that only affects the quality of the product, but not the bottom line
These are not cat ears, but rather squinted eyes of a happy face
At least that was my interpretation at the time
If you are particularly deranged, you can also use “^^”
It’s a cool shell, I use it as a daily driver (though I’m keeping a close eye on elvish which syntactically is even further away from classic shell), but the comments read like fish is basically zsh. And while zsh is pretty close to bash, fish isn’t.
Be aware that fish isn’t a POSIX-compatible shell enough, so you have to adjust syntax.
There are plenty nowadays from what I remember.
pacman is very fast and handy. The (in)famous pacman -Syu had you system completely up to date in record time.
Sometimes I miss its speed and simplicity
I mean peertube exists, and it actually integrates into the fediverse…

Well, at least for nginx, you can specify the root (or alias if required) directive; to me, it makes very little sense to rely on defaults, you need to specify your servers / virtual hosts anyways, might as well make the configuration more self-documenting…
There’s also https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/linux_file_system_hierarchy/ nowadays, which aims to build on the FHS.
Well, /var/www is in fact not part of the FHS, not even optional… it doesn’t exist on my machines either. I think the better choice would be /srv/www which is an example given at https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s17.html
Is /var really such a mystery? I always understood it as the non-volatile system directory that can be written into. Like log files, databases, cache etc. /var/tmp it’s somewhat weird because a non-volatile temporary folder for me is just cache, and /var/lib is named somewhat weird because it doesn’t hold what I’d usually call libraries.
Not pictured: /opt, the raccoon
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: see above
Almost, as I said,
arch-chrootdidn’t exist back then, and while the official method is still manual,archinstallis part of the official ISO, while back then, no helper was provided, so you had to do it manually.
