No, I'm simply standing behind my initial statement, and pointing out why your counter argument is bad.

It's not though.

Wat is arch? I only used it and its derivatives on multiple devices for multiple years in my 15+ years of Linux

Good for you.

If you think a hyperbolised analogy is an insult, take care of your delicate constitution and don't risk maladies by entering discussions on the internet.

I mean, if my assumption that you were being mean-spirited before was strenuous, this and linking that video makes it a sealed deal.

You can't get under my skin, but that doesn't mean you're not being shitty by trying.

In my experience, Manjaro breaks all the time.

Arch doesn't.

That said, Debian is great. Probably gonna ditch Ubuntu for just pure Debian on my server.

Good!

My main concern would be running terminal commands to control an emulator and dart and flutter commands, but as long as all that can interact correctly, it should serve.

Whoa.

You seem to be a lot more vehement about this than I am. Not to mention confidently uninformed on arch.

I don't think this is worth getting into further. You've already decided I'm some kind of elitist, deserving of insulting analogies thrown at them.

Dude writes code, that makes me a lot more comfortable recommending an arch install of some kind. Endeavour especially, as it sets you up at a very good starting point without doing messy shit like Manjaro.

Agreed on flatpak, it's fine.

It looks equally as good as any other game that released the same year.

Elden Ring is pretty, but this simply isn't true.

When it comes to applying advanced modeling and rendering tech, fromsoft are amateurs.

Most famously, they have no clue what they are doing with shell texturing.

And the reason Elden Ring was a stuttery mess at launch on windows, was that they couldn't figure out that doing directx shader compilation on the fly without caching, is a terrible, terrible idea.

No-one has commented on your mentioning VS and Flutter... I haven't used it but I think VS is available for Linux?

I contribute to the Thunder client for Lemmy from my system running EndeavourOS with KDE.

I personally use android studio for this. I hit a pitfall on installing the android, flutter and dart SDKs from the AUR, but that turned out to be the lesser method. It was much easier to just let android studio install them to a folder, and thereby have it manage their versions.

The one downside was having to add their folders to PATH, so terminal commands like adb, dart, emulator, flutter, etc. work, but that's not a big deal.

I would swap out Manjaro for Endeavour.

I started off with Manjaro, and updates kept breaking shit. Only reason it was usable for me, was that I kept timeshift going so I could recover from an unbootable state if updates borked something.

Especially if OPs system is unusual, I wouldn't trust Manjaro. I've yet to need timeshift on my Endeavour install, while setting it up to do the same things was no more difficult.

Yes. Because when I pause to discuss a show I'm watching with someone, or to otherwise pay attention to something else for a moment, for some other sound and video to play is exactly what I want.

This makes literally no sense. The whole point of pausing, is that it's something you do right before you turn your attention away, and that's when they want to show you ads?

Either these ads won't work, because no-one will look at them, or they will defeat the point of pausing, annoying the living shit out of your users. It's a lose-lose for everyone involved. Including the advertisers.

There are very few printers that don't work with Linux. Linux has drivers to interface with most of them through whatever means you like, right in the kernel.

That's one of the reasons my android phone (Linux kernel, remember) is better at finding and queuing up prints on a network printer than any windows machine I've ever used.

I just hit share on a document, choose print... And then it just works.

Wait. So you're saying the only appeal of the device, is the hardware?

200 bucks of what's reportedly exactly as cheap-feeling as the price suggests?

Followed by MPV doing the same
