  • Let’s say you have 2 scripts that do some stuff:

    • script A: turns a light pink for 20 seconds and then through a smart speaker you can hear 30 seconds of La Macarena.
    • script B: send 25 notifications to your phone, spaced by 30 seconds, in which each notification is a different letter of an encrypted message.

    If you want those things to happen independently you must parallelize them.

    So think about an automation that at a certain point you want to launch multiple scripts. I’d always parallelize, even if initially these scripts were “instantaneous”, because you might change these and add more complexities in the future.








  • Sorry I don’t understand your first question.

    What I mean is that anyone (in fact there were projects that did this) could make an image with an installer GUI for Arch Linux that installed Arch Linux and some opinionated software like Endeavour does. But at the end you just got an easy Arch installation. What bothers me is that instead of pushing for Arch Linux’s brand, Endeavour created their own, virtually wrapping Arch Linux as theirs, and I don’t believe it is enough work to consider it a different distro, because it is LITERALLY ARCH with a couple of extra packages (that could be on the main repos or the AUR).

    And I am saying all this as an Endeavour user myself!
