Dang, looks like you got got.

It’s definitely ridiculously expensive.

I use an Nvidia laptop, and none of the issues I have with Wayland are from the GPU.

This is a real answer, unlike the “Ubuntu” memers.

What about a graphical installer and package manager frontend?

It’s just a mob mentality at this point.

Kids want to fit in with what others kids are doing, so once it becomes cool to hate on manjaro, that’s what the children will do. Without question.

Manjaro is great.

It just has a bad reputation among those who can’t think for themselves.

🥱

That’s fine. We got our powerful computers to work with until then.

Yikes.

Building everything from scratch is one thing.

Maintaining it is completely different.

Isn’t that what file system permissions are for?

Maybe it’s just me, but if you’re doing something technical enough to require commercial support, shouldn’t you have a competent IT team that doesn’t need it?

Just seems weird to pay additional money for technical support of your OS when teams using Debian don’t have to. Are they just more competent on average than teams using Red Hat?

they’re hardly dead…

It’s a matter of perspective. Just like how microsoft is dead for a lot of us because we don’t use their products, the same can be said about IBM and red hat.

Eh. Not sure why people would go with red hat over debian these days.

Major shoutout to sqlite here.

Fantastic program, probably better because it is helmed by a dev with ridiculously high standards who doesn’t compromise with what others want.

Gnome3 devs prioritize what makes their jobs easier over what makes user experiences better.

I recommend switching to KDE if you want a DE with more features.

desktop that represents my soul haha.

As someone who makes their KDE look as much like Windows 7 as possible, this hit home for me 🥹.

Maybe it’s just me, but I love KDE5 so much I’m just not looking forward to 6.

Good for software that isn’t available any other way.

I never use flatpaks if something is available in the Manjaro repository or AUR.

Love KDE. Hope they maintain their position as the ‘swiss-army knife’ of DEs.
