I've been very happy with my Arc A770, it works great on Linux and performs well for what I paid for it.

For those of us who use Discord primarily on desktop though, this UI is atrocious. I expect Discord to work like Discord, not . I like the consistent experience between platforms.

Ultimately though, why can this not just be a freaking OPTION? Just put a toggle in the menu [DMs in Server List] [DMs in Separate Tab]. Bad user experience is forcing all users to conform to the One True Vision (tm). Especially when that vision is now horribly disjointed between platforms.

I hate the new layout. Why are DMs separate from servers? It makes no sense, and it means extra back button presses/swipes to change between them. Why not just have everything in one sidebar which I feel is way more logically consistent and convenient? This update is trash and Discord should feel bad.

RGB software is such garbage. Aura sucks, Synapse sucks, iCue sucks, Polychrome really really really sucks, RGB Fusion sucks, they're all bloated garbage designed to lock you into an ecosystem and produced by the lowest tier of programmers around apparently as they are unstable and usually incredibly bloated messes.

This nonsense is why I started working on what eventually became OpenRGB.

If that were true then none of this would be news. The CentOS Stream code is available to the public on git, but not the RHEL code. If the RHEL code was available to the public the outrage would have no reason to exist.

Even if paying customers have access to the RHEL code via git, they are forbidden from redistributing it (which is allowed by the FOSS licenses that code is under) or else the customers lose their license. This does not qualify as the code being available in my opinion, and in the opinion of the vast majority of the FOSS community.

Saying everything is fine and dandy in the RHEL world is FUD.

The project maintainers repeatedly forget to renew their certificates, causing package upgrades to fail.

The project maintainers, in multiple past instances, have misconfigured their package manager resulting in essentially a DDoS of the AUR.

The packages are out of date vs. the upstream Arch ones, which often causes AUR packages intended for upstream Arch to break on Manjaro. Yet they consider the AUR a supported resource.

Project has had problems with mismanagement of funds in the past.

Despite all this, they seem to heavily focus on marketing, merch, and trying to sell preinstalled systems. Manjaro is in it for profit, not to make an awesome distro.

Ubuntu - It was my first distro and I loved it for many years after 6.06. However, it slowly shifted from a very community focused distro ("Linux for human beings" was the original slogan) to a very corporate distro with lots of in-house bullshit, CLAs, and partially-closed projects that seems to focus on profit and business over actual human beings. I correlate this move to around the time when it became purple rather than brown. Snap sucks, Mir sucks, Unity sucks, integrating Amazon and music store paid bullshit sucks. Just no. Move to Debian.

Manjaro - It's Arch, but with incompetence!

Red Hat - Do you enjoy paying licensing fees for a Linux distro that very likely violates the open source licenses it uses? RHEL is for you! Just remember not to share the code! Sharing is most certainly NOT caring!
