Most people using Arch seem to have those sexy libvirt scripts and its making me feel dumb for using this hacky script kiddie crap code

Of course I am keeping it simple too which is what Arch Linux is about

LibVirt's nice but there are splines in most of its' supported protocols between what said protocols unified beforehand (i.e. NAT to SMB or something) so if you have virsh & virtio-win frontends for it, you can inflate Windows appliance containers within 5-10 minutes. Might go a bit quicker if you manage to import Fedora's Boxes GUI for all this (it's really clean), or use more QT & run Virt-Manager, also from RHEL but with a more generalized hypervisor toolset.

I gave myself a shame attack, which is a new expression I just came up with. Anyway it made me want to disapear from the surface of the earth, and it led me to delete my avatar. (just incase anyone was wondering)

*hugs* I was just there actually. In America almost nobody harbors any serious respect for tech folks & I've been hearing things like 'amateur', 'employment gaps', 'deliverable' & so on without cease all year so far. From people who know nothing about my work. In this country people assume that I can't afford a new BMW so of course I must be useless.

Saves me a lot of trouble not talking to those people actually. :lol:

I think I found a way to put a crap ton of money in the bank

I just have to never leave for the entire mouth and not smoke or drink or do drugs

Yeah isolation sucks but I just took inventory and I can actually eat three meals a day and never leave until April. I think I am going to do it cause I need the money, may not eat great but it'll be food.

I am locking myself up lulz

I've done that. Works great but I'm way too addicted to coffee to do this without serious cause.

So I updated Chrome on Arch Linux and now its GUI is really really small, not the font size of the sites but the actual menus inside Chrome, does anyone know how to fix this?

Yes I am asking how to fix something in Arch Linux...

Additional information, my Thinkpad is running this version fine, the PC in question is running KDE / Plasma if that helps.
