Except Fedora is actually fine as an option. Though I had my share of troubles setting it up, and their decision to ditch X11 forced my hand to OpenSUSE when I went for it the second time. Had no regrets so far.
Manjaro is a tempting option when you want Arch without being competent enough to confidently operate Arch.
Been there before. Had it for over a year for the first time, but quickly noped out on the second try.
OpenSUSE :)
Can confirm been through it all, except I took a rough start with Manjaro, then straight to Fedora, then all according to the graph. Just this year ditched Endeavour and Debian in favor of OpenSUSE - loving it so far!
If you often find yourself in a position when you can't troubleshoot issues yourself, CachyOS might not be the perfect option. It's Arch far and wide, iirc since I tried it about half a year ago, it doesn't even feature something as basic as the app store, and is heavily terminal-based. Considering how many diverse issues Arch can create, this turns into a nightmare very quickly.
Currently, I ended up running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on my machines.
- It's an OG distro, so no fork issues
- Has decently large userbase
- Is nearly as bleeding-edge as Arch
- At the same time is rock solid thanks to advanced automatic package testing
- Does not brick your system upon poor update
- Has good and user-friendly documentation (that can be understood by non-nerds, unlike Arch Wiki)
- Unlike newbie-friendly distros, does not assume user is an idiot and gives all power at your fingertips
- Has btrfs and snapper properly set up by default to easily revert most mistakes you can make
So, generally, this is the peace of mind rolling release distro that just works, doesn't bother you too much and at the same time allows you to spend as much time under the hood as you like. You're unlikely to break anything, you can always revert if you do, packages are well-tested and unlikely to cause issues, and on this solid foundation, you can do anything you like.
Absolutely. Americans, Israeli, Russians are all regular people caught in the crossfire. There are some shitheads in support of their governments, and there are plenty more of those who reject it and will happily join the opposing forces, uniting internationally over the same goal.
And outside of political lens, people are still the same as they were a year or two or three ago. It's just that different political circumstances highlight particular kinds of people.
No, but I have experience spending my entire childhood on the countryside. Smaller scale, same idea.
Been around chickens quite a lot, and around cows a bit. Chickens don't produce nearly as much methane as cows, chicken manure is an excellent fertilizer, arguably even higher quality and lower footprint than cow, their food consumption even per unit of mass is quite small, they don't take much space, and overall, they're relatively easy to work with.
That said, plant-based options are even better in that respect.
I'd argue voting system is overrated.
I had quite a few comments downvoted into oblivion because my opinion was unpopular in some corners of Lemmy.
Like, go ahead and make a same political statement at .ml or .world, or come to some specific community to argue against the OP.
Or, in reverse, there are plenty of examples when hateful or wrong BS was upvoted to infinity.
I've seen this again and again with others, and I can confidently say voting is not a good metric for reason.
Also lightning strikes. Back in the day fires from various natural sources, including lightning strikes, were used to keep fire going, so that counts!
Five.
I only block people if they actively harass me online. Otherwise, I'm fine with disagreement and do not tend to rage ban.
Still, if someone follows me around Lemmy to spite on everything, I'd rather have them blocked to keep this place nicer.
Oh, and there's Nicole in there, of course.
Then it would make such membership meaningless and will only undermine collective action within NATO?
As someone who ran Manjaro as my first Linux for 1,5 years, it's a breeze to set up and everything just works...until it doesn't.
What screws it is that eventually, over time, something goes wrong. Something breaks here and there, new bugs appear, and without Arch proficiency that is not really expected of a Manjaro user, it's next to impossible to track it down. So, eventually one has to reinstall.
I've been a strong Manjaro proponent back in the day, but now I see its flaws, unfortunately. I wish it could be a great option, though.
