QThe thing even says that the wheel group membership gives administrative privileges
Anormal user need sudo too?
GOk yes that, that was plain sight, I wasn't sure to disable it or enable it, I kept it on glad I did
Asimply giving a user the option to do advanced stuff that can break things is enough to guarantee someone will mess something up without knowing any better
Ayou are assuming end user will even read that lol
RThis?
QThat's a good point
RQubes uses the same installer so it should be an option tbh
ZThe moment you sign to use a linux distro, you are responsible to whatever error you fall by running non default settings
R(I did not)
RTrue but like again
Awhy the fuck does gnome's settings menu force me to have a good password, I'm just setting up a guest account damnit
ZNot trying to sound etilist, but freedom comes with responsability
GUnless eto the extent permitted by law I guess
RIsnt the idea to make it accessible to 'normal' people?
ZIs to make a distro with good defaults for games
A"accessible to normal people" and "FOSS operating system based on linux" are diametrically opposed unfortunately
Athere is a point which too much freedom are a thing
Zyou have total freedom to run wild out of those defaults
Gyeah but yet have the best out of rhe box experience for handheld and laptops
Zbut there is that, we cant completly lock it down
RYeah the downfall tbh
GHMMMMM
Gyeah
RI mean if only you could set up so when booting you could do a '-advance' command for... advanced users
Ai dont think its necessary to completely lock things down - just do whatever is possible to prevent a clueless user from fucking up during installation
Apost install? god help ye
ZYeah, but imagine now the typical archlinux user wants to migrate to Bazzite per example
Aconsidering that was me
ZIs impossible to cater to everyone
ZThe aim is having good defaults, that's it
RGrub command -advanced ?
Amaybe a grub entry for it, idk
Alots of extra work though
ZYeah, like removing the wheel thingy from the install option that is a good start
Ayeah but maybe put those advanced setting a little bit hidden, maybe put a warning if opened
Ayeah that's what im getting at
RArch users love documentation so im sure a text that says "-advance for advanced installation settings" would do the trick
Ano reason to lock things down post-install. The installer should just be somewhat infalliable
Aconsidering that's the part that can cause the most issues right out the gate
GYeah seriously though just keep all the freedom and accessibility but remove any ability to brick their sudo or other things (or administrative privileges)

Glove to see that
GBazzite being arch for gaming and handhelds in a nutshell
Adont even give installer, let user build it from source:clueless:
Athe true meaning of
