  • Fedora requires less maintenance which is important in a university scenario. But then you have those Exam Safe Browsers which don’t run on wine anyway.

    If you’re going to miss AUR-levels of package count, my advice is to grab openSUSE (preferably non-Leap), get familiar with zypper and yast, then add the Packman repo. Combined with the OBS (basically the openSUSE version of the AUR), you’ll have pretty high package availability.

    openSUSE also requires less maintenance than Arch.

    But generally, I recommend EndeavourOS, just add the chaotic-aur so you don’t spend hours compiling, and have fun!












  • My HP crapbook doesn’t have this OEM logo bullshit. Only the windows bootloader shows it, and the logo file is stored in the BGRT. So I don’t think I’m affected unless the WBM or systemd-boot have this vuln.

    Mine:

    1. Screen turns on
    2. I pick EndeavorOS in systemd-boot
    3. It starts spitting out logs (I love this behavior)
    4. It switches modes once the backlight is loaded
    5. I log in
    6. KDE loads
    

    I will never understand people who install Plymouth, it just adds complexity in the boot process. If your distro installs this then I understand why: so it doesn’t look like you’re “hacking the government”. If your distro doesn’t install it and you install it then you probably picked the wrong distro.
