I don’t know too much about IoT but I wouldn’t say linux runs the world in any of the other markets you mentioned.

I would say while technically Android uses a modified linux kernel, you can’t put it under the same umbrella.

Either way I don’t want to get too much into these technicalities. I was simply trying to say that Linux is king on servers, not really on the market where all this crazyness happened.

Just to clarify: the world runs in linux servers. The market share for the non-server market is abysmal.

My favorite movie is the Matrix (the first one). Gutted by what they did in the sequels.

Favorite genre is definitely Fantasy, love the world building in these movies.

Thanks a lot for pointing it out, next time I’ll just look for that toggle and save myself th trouble!

Last week I installed Windows 11 on a new laptop that came with FreeDOS installed. It was a really dreadful experience, I never thought it was this bad.

• The windows 11 installer couldn’t find any hhd partitions or hard drive, while FreeDOS could. After googling for a while I had to download an Intel Rapid Something driver from the manufacturer’s website and load it up when installing windows 11.

• After installing Windows it required an internet connection to proceed but I assume the wi-fi drivers were not installed. USB tethering didn’t seem to be working either so I had to continue the setup elsewhere, where I had physical access to the router.

• I had to skip a lot of things throughout the installer, which kinda shocked me. Office 365 and even games, before I even booted the actual OS.

• Fully updating Windows took 2 hours. Fresh ISO, gigabit Ethernet connection, nvme HDD. Damn.

Pretty miserable experience and completely impossible to an unexperienced user.

Firefox sync is disabled by default but you can enable it in the settings.

You can enable Firefox sync in Librewolf, it works fine.

Isn’t proton photos built into their Proton Drive already? It’s implementation is… barebones… On Android but it works.

The main problem is the amount of REALLY bad games. It’s very hard to find decent games, most of them are intentionally unplayable garbage.

I fear becoming that guy, can you call me out if I do? Cheers.

I really enjoyed hacknet, is this similar? :O

A couple of years ago, in Portugal, there were more couples looking to adopt than “viable” children up for adoption. While your statement makes total sense, it may be a insensible option on your country. Make due research!

If I developed a Linux app I would absolutely package it as a flatpak. If a package is in pacman, however, I see no reason to use the flatpak version instead.

You misunderstood the sign. You can’t smoke the dog, the dog can do whatever the hell it wants. Smoking cigar is allowed, smoking barefeet dogs not allowed.

I had the opposite experience. I have been using EndeavourOS on my desktop since November, zero issues. This weekend I’ve been distro hopping on my old MacBook pro and almost every distro had a problem. Some didn’t boot, other had wifi issues, trackpad issues, keyboard volume keys not working, high CPU usage… EndeavourOS was the only one I tried that just worked out of the box with no issues

EndeavourOS has been a wonderful experience for me, can’t recommend it enough.

Since when does EndeavourOS supply a GUI package manager? They don’t even have Discover installed out of the box.

I don’t think it’s more confusing than Arch, if you know how to maintain Arch then you’re not gonna have any trouble at all.

I agree that their eos popup is a bit meh but you can just press the “Don’t show me again” button and be done with it

EndeavourOS is basically Arch with an easy installer and reasonable defaults. Don’t expect it to be more than it is!

No, but I also don’t want to only have 2GB XD

Can you even run Windows with just 2gb?

Which one is a concern you share?

My main concern is trust. How can I trust that the Manjaro team is competent when they can’t keep up with something as simple as certificates. You say they helped the AUR but they actually DDOS’d it several times due to problems in pamac the software store they developed. By using Manjaro, you are saying that you trust the Manjaro team more than the Arch team, since you are using their repositories. Their actions do not inspire trust on me.

Arch actually has an unstable branch, that is “bleeding edge”. Most people run Arch on the stable branch, which is perfectly fine. You can run into problems, but so far I have never encountered any. Holding packages for “stability” is a neat idea but if the Firefox and Arch team deemed the new browser version to be stable, that’s good enough for me. I don’t see the Manjaro devs as having more competence to judge such things than the Arch community and the software devs.

This is a pointless discussion anyway, I’m not changing my mind and neither are you but all least now you know where I’m coming from. Cheers.
