But are the thigh high socks provided or must I purchase them separately?

You’ll know you completed the installation successfully when you look down and see the socks have materialised

TIL that unix socks are actually a parasitic lifeform, transmitted via arch isos.

More of a symbiot than a parasite, it’s not like the host doesn’t benefit from them!

It’s probably not mandatory, I imagine the arch wiki explains all the details

I really want one of those pairs, for my knees get cold in winters.

Guess I’ll install Arch for a freebie.

like jurassic park, life finds a way

Comouter scientists are now able to change gender as an evolutionary response to the lack of women in STEM fields

the socks are not mandatory, they are just given out in case anyone is chosen to be the new cutest girl in the office

i will warn you that if you ever start saying “mrrrp…nya :3” even as a joke, it WILL trigger the process to begin

…oh shit wait

Ordinarily I would be fine with this. I use Arch anyway. But an Arch system configured by somebody else? I’d be safer leaving my laptop at home!

I think that’s the idea - I love how this is a double entendre for those that know…

If a laptop is left unattended long enough to do a fresh Arch install, it’s probably been abandoned anyway.

That same guy started covertly encrypting users’ data and then the fucking keys stopped working. I’ll take zero support over that.

Why is it “head cannon” and not “head canon”? You got some kind of gun strapped to your head that you keep stories in?

Just type yay in that black window with white text, at least if I would have set it up, not that I did, just if I would have, of course.
