2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

- These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudo
in Windows. - No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now. ย

laughs in Tumbleweed with texlive
Slowroll can alleviate that pain, if you're fine with non-security updates being delayed by up to six weeks or so.
It actually works perfectly, i just hit it on Friday mornings when i remember and it is done in 15 min or so. I love Tumbleweed
I do this with arch too and there's no issues. I spent 1 month without updating once because life is a bitch and it updated just fine. 1k updates sure, but meh.
IIRC they ship security updates immediately.
You must've caught my comment shortly before I snuck that "non-security" into there. ๐
I installed a KDE latex math tool that came with texlive as a dependency. Shit's awful when doing updates.
I ended up uninstalling the tool and texlive, and installed tinytex instead. I then tabood texlive and reinstalled the tool from software.opensuse.org as the YAST GUI allows you to ignore dependencies.
It works in the KDE tool and in one note taking app with latex math support, but I haven't tried adding new packages yet. I don't know how good of a solution this would be if you use latex outside of just rendering a couple of equations, but it could be worth a shot
