Why does it feel like youre saying "fake and gay" like you're trying to blend in, like some weird 4chan skinwalker?

Is this meant to be a backhanded complement?
When you count up the 1's place, you go 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and then it rolls over into the 10s place.
But in "base 4", it goes: 0,1,2,3,10,11,12,13,20. 3 is the highest value possible in any of the digits place.
Therefore "10" in base 4 = 4 in base 10, but saying it in base 4 is written as 10.
You can change your base to any base and whatever base it is would have to be written as base 10 because the number above the highest one in that base doesnt exist, it's 10.
Only if you didn't bring extra knife ammo
I have been using Arch for a half a decade at this point and its worked out well for me. I like how its very stable despite being bleeding edge (relatively speaking). It's made gaming a lot easier, and I was pleasantly surprised when Valve announced SteamOS was switching to it as a base.
A lot of people have varying levels of purism when it comes to linux, and it sounds like your friend dipped his toes in with Arch and realized "not pure enough" and then jumped in on the deep end with Gentoo. At the end of the day, Linux is Linux no matter which distro you pick, but each distro highlights different strengths and weaknesses of it. Its all about the package managers, the repository contents, and the maintainers. Occasionally, technical support might matter.
So, pick whichever distro you like, move around a bit to see what has the least papercuts for you, and then stick with that until you can't anymore.
The first hit is always free...
Japan is permanently in the '90s (and I love it).
Unfairly? I don't think you understand the basic fundamental concept of "fair" if you think this is unfair.
This whole post gives "manbaby slams hamfist on table demanding more nuggies and sauce."
This is 100% untrue and you are making shit up.
You mean to tell me that when someone says that they're taking a shit, it shouldn't mean literally turd burgaling?
