There are so many games out there and my waitlist has already grown so long that I feel no problem in completely ignoring any game that has Denuvo. Odds are it'd be so long before I got around to it that the hype would be gone anyway.

This comment reads like a deconstructionist modern art piece.

I know that my personal case is only one data point, but I currently manage one EndeavourOS system and one Arch Linux system and except for hardware-specific issues and things I only tried to do in one machine and not the other, I have only ever had identical problems in both. And few of those, too. EndeavourOS... endeavours.... (sorry) to be as faithful to the original Arch installation process as possible, except automated and optionally also installing a graphical environment.

My first experience with Linux was Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon. I dual-booted for over a decade and even went back to just using Windows for a while before finally making the full switch. I think I spent two or three years without using my Windows partition before deciding to give Windows one last chance, which lasted a month, then wiping it and sticking to EndeavourOS for my daily driver/gaming desktop and vanilla Arch Linux on my laptop.

Both are hilarious so I say it doesn't matter.

Real.

You just summed up how all knowlledge of everything has ever and will ever manage to exist does.

Thank the heavens for people who dump ROMs and share them online. Seriously. When people think emulators they think piracy, but it's vital to conservation too.

I use DuckDuckGo, which technically means I use Bing minus the privacy violations.

I use Fira Code. It looks great and I really like the programming ligatures.

I agree. The average user can't be expected to read all of the documentation, but when you run into a problem, odds are you aren't the first. So instead of immediately going to ask for help, maybe Google the issue for a while, at least skim the man page or try fixing it yourself before asking.

And ask well. There's a huge difference between "I have problem X with package Y. I tried solution Z and it didn't work. Here is some information I think could be relevant. Thanks." and "HELP program Y isn't worknig I dunno what to do???".

Hell doesn't have as much music.

SUSE-Powered Enterprise Linux. Tagline: It spells SPEL.

I second this comment, though I'd like to point out that the Arch community isn't as toxic as people make it seem. Yes, there are a few very problematic people who think you should read the entire source code for every package possibly involved in your problem before asking for help, but there are a lot of helpful people too. They just have low tolerance for help vampires.

These worlds being Hell and Disney.

Any Arch-based distro because of the rolling release model, the excellent pacman package manager and the AUR.

Especially EndeavourOS. It's Arch Linux with a Calamares installer. Not that the Arch Linux setup process is hard, but it's a pain. I did it once and never again. EndeavourOS uses the Arch repos plus its own tiny repo with stuff like the Welcome screen, some themes and yay, so it's pretty much Arch with different branding.

I'm speaking in general, not about this particular case.

Doesn't that result in a lot of wasted space from duplicated dependencies? Don't get me wrong, this looks great on paper, which is why I desperately need to find fault with it before I start distrohopping again.

Each snap is mounted as its own filesystem, which is messy for several reasons (try making sense of the output of lsblk on your system). Flatpaks don't do that, though they sandbox in other ways. There really isn't a "Flatpak hell", the worst that can happen is packages that depend on different versions of the same library taking up a lot of storage space, which is a problem with snaps too.

I still prefer to rely on official repos but I do use a few Flatpaks here and there. But one of the main reasons why I don't run Ubuntu is because of Canonical's aggressive pushing of snaps.
