Yes. I did use Harris for a little bit before switch to Arch. It was a good easy for me to test before jumping all in.

Manjaro might have been my first step into Linux last year, but it was brief and I switched to Arch. It was brief enough that I didn’t remember if that’s what it was. Glad I made the switch, but a non GUI installation is not for most people.

Edit: Nvm, I used Garuda. I was reminded in another comment. A good stepping stone to experience Arch and KDE.

I hate being the, “I use Arch” guy, but it’s really been a great experience for me with KDE. Minimal issues after a complicated first time setup, but it’s absolutely been worth it. For anyone that’s pretty decent with computers already, and can understand the documentation, I would recommend trying it out. I just converted a laptop the other day to Arch and used archinstall for the first time. It did pretty well other than a couple of small tweaks that most users would never know about in fstab relating to SSDs and LUKS encryption.

There’s a steep learning curve, but it’s made me learn a lot about the Linux operating system and a lot about computers in general.

There was another post on here about Manjaro taking about going opt out on some things that to me is a deal breaker. EndeavorOS has been mentioned a decent amount for a more user friendly Arch based distro. I can’t personally speak about it, but just a little extra but for others going through here.

Ok, leave?

If I were using Manjaro right now, at the first opportunity, I would be switching to something else. Too much enshitification happening everywhere, and people need to start voting with their “wallets” to stop these greedy fucks.

Are you trying to gatekeep Linux to only power users that use a CLI, are way above the average in computer literacy, and happen to know the nuances between Linux and other operating systems?

This is the kind of thinking that will prevent adoption to the masses. Linux doesn’t have to be stupid hard to use. There are specific distros like vanilla Arch for advanced users to tinker with and options like Manjaro and Ubuntu that are ideally functional out of the box for those that just want something to work.

What Manjaro is doing here is dumb AF, and should rightfully be heavily criticized, but you statement feels like your saying you should have to be a computer expert to use any Linux distro, and that’s dumb.

Sorry, I’m talking about Trump. I’m saying he should cry and that he’s a bitch.

Cry, bitch.

Edit: Bitch == Trump

Sam Reich, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Hank Green to name a few. Also Kyle Gass both for what he said in Australia, but then for deleting his public apology shortly after posting it.

Some of us did, a lot actually. Unfortunately, the stupid outweigh the rest.

Or, maybe fireworks should just not be a thing.

It’s so damn frustrating being around, knowing, and being related to these worthless humans. The next time I see my brother will be at a mutual funeral. When people, especial family, spread the same hate that directly puts my special needs family members with preexisting conditions and others that I care about in life threatening situations, they mean nothing to me. If I were to see a MAGA hat wearing cunt on fire, I wouldn’t piss on them to put it out.

You misunderstand. I’m not using any centralized social media. Lemmy is my one and only. I’m saying It’s worth celebrating the small wins and encouraging companies to continue moving to models like this. Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good.

Unfortunately, that means so does everyone else. It’s would suck less for us Americans that didn’t vote for this, if the implications were at least land locked, but half of us somehow like this stuff. Truly disgusting.

Switching to vaping is less bad, and for me, it lead to me quitting all together. So to me, this is still a small win, and I like to celebrate small wins these days.

That ain’t a strawman. It’s calling a spade a spade.

Hanged, but yes.

For sure, not arguing that, but if people went out and voted for Harris she maybe could have won. Instead more people voted for a rapist that will do everything in his power to take full power in the US.

Are you suggesting that the difference in results is purely because votes were tossed? Yea voters rolls purged and gerrymandering, but the left didn’t show up, and that’s why Trump won. He has by all accounts more supporters than Harris did, and they made their choice.
