I don’t know about Steam OS but with EndeavourOS, you still have to keep an eye on the Arch news and make any manual interventions that are required. If you don’t, you can end up with a broken system. If you do that, it’s utterly reliable.
Yeah, I’m not defending Manjaro, they are too sloppy for me to do that. Rather EndeavourOS and CachyOS and similar which either give you a working Arch install with minimal effort or add something that may be of value to Arch. That said, the Manjaro distro itself is pretty good, especially if you swap the unstable repos which mirror the Arch ones. Kind of defeats the point of Manjaro though.
Because you can setup Vanilla Arch to be exactly like that derivative
There’s the difference, you don’t have to set the derivative up.
I for one, welcome our new overlord!
My brain knows how it really is, but it refuses to see anything else but this!
Because Gnome Shell is terrible!
I generally prefer GUIs, but sometimes the terminal is just easier!
Would you say this in a bar with friends and strangers around the table when someone shows you a cute picture of his cat?
Yes. Especially if I was stoned.
Plasma. Or at least it is for me, your opinion may differ.
Trinity Desktop is the closest you’ll get.
And the cat’s a pretty one too.
I’m somewhere between 2 and 3 also. I rarely bring Linux up unless the topic is operating systems or I’m directly asked about it. Then I’ll talk your ears off.
In the private sector, I once was asked to come up with 12 uses for a kettle. I said make 12 cups of coffee. I didn’t get the job.
What does a crossfitting, vegan, Arch user talk about first?
None of my cats played fetch, but when I was a kid I had a budgie who would play fetch with a little bell.
It’s more about their practices, the same for Microsoft and Google. I still have my trusty Nokia 8110 4G but I know it’s going to die one day and then I’ll have to choose between Google and Apple :(
That’s one of them, another is EndeavourOS which is my distro of choice.
