A new version of the popular diabetes treatment Mounjaro can be sold as a weight-loss drug, U.S. regulators announced Wednesday.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Eli Lilly's drug, named Zepbound. The drug, also known as tirzepatide, helped dieters lose as much as 40 to 60 pounds in testing.

Manjaro? I use that on my computer!

Oh, you said Mounjaro? Never mind.

“I use Arch btw”

Manjaro users don't have the superiority complex required to be this prude.

It's because they have no idea how their system actually works

I personally know a handful of people that also don't know how the fuck Arch works but still use it.

Yeah I was just kidding. I don't use it myself. Those people are everywhere though, I can confirm.

I figured.

Arch is great for people with a very extensive knowledge about the entire system, or for masochists. One wrong command and the whole thing catches on fire.

Respect for those who know how to use it and are not assholes about it, though.

Definitely. I've tried it, it wasn't my thing. I get it, but it's not for me.

In my experience once you get it set up arch isn't that bad. I can only really remember one time it really broke and that was when my laptop ran out of battery during a kernel upgrade (I know I should have had it configured to keep multiple kernels but for some reason I didn't). I'm using opensuse a lot more recently though and it definitely is easier, just not by like an insane amount

Getting Arch set up from scratch is a great learning experience. I recommend everyone to at least try to install it once properly, you'll definitely come away with a better understanding of the system.
