Windows issues?

Manjaro Users: I could never be bothered to follow the steps for installing on the arch wiki.

Manjaro Users When Something Breaks: Gotta go check the arch wiki & forums.

Heavy disagree… why pick between distros when you can build an environment unlike others, that fits your personal needs/wants.

One of the best parts about Linux is this freedom. If you don’t care about this freedom you should probably just be on windows. If you want something different in your Linux, alter it, don’t distro hop.

You give that up that strategy and lean into fixing shit when you put the time in to customize the OS and desktop/window manager experience… at that point you should understand your system well enough to make fixing it easier, and you are also afraid of having to redo some of your customization. That being said, you still should make regular system backups, especially if you are tinkering with the OS experience a lot.

MIT≠FOS

GNU is Free and forever free software… MIT not so much.

Point being, any forks of GNU will have a free version available, MIT carries no such limitation… making it a corpo favorite.

You can call it open source, but Free and Open source is questionable.

Any “Decentralized” Solution that is not F.O.S. free and opensource was never “Decentralized” at all.

When your platform advertises itself as decentralized, and a simple “host bluesky instance” search results in articles telling you to join the main instance’s waiting list… that sounds too stupid for me to give them the time of day.

I am surprised anyone uses or takes them seriously.

I have a mental image of 50+ lines that could be replaced with 15 if someone just used a loop.
