Because it's federated and FOSS.

i'm not completely confident that those far-right psychos are even real people for the most part. Reddit is probably the most botted place on the internet.

Manjaro probably has the most incompetent team of any serious linux distro, there's no good reason to use it

You're right, my bad, I misremembered!

Manjaro

I highly recommend avoiding manjaro like the plague, their team is incredibly incompetent (see: https://manjarno.pages.dev/ ), I say this as someone who has given people manjaro for years and regretted it, I was also their it person, manjaro regularly broke every few months and gave people a very bad taste of linux

for example, why are kernels given version numbers in packages? This caused 3 separate peoples computers to break multiple times. Everything good about manjaro comes from arch, everything bad about manjaro comes from the manjaro team.

Y’know how it’s not rolling release because they delay packages by 2 weeks? They actually do no testing in this time. How do I know this? They pushed an update that caused steam to uninstall your desktop environment. Famously covered by linus tech tips… this is something that should have easily been caught, and yet the two week window did absolutely nothing.

the truth is for manjaro there is no real usecase, there’s no set of desires that align with manjaro being the best choice for you. I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.

But if what you’re looking for is an easy pre-setup arch, use endeavoros

If you want something simple and up to date, use fedora kinoite

If you’re a power user and want to configure every little thing about their system, use arch or nixos

If you don’t care at all about updates and want the most rock solid system possible, debian.

Yeah but this only happened because they ate Schrodingers cat

It does not fail the 9.11 > 9.8 thing.

Being better at prediction requires reasoning

Signal being centralized just ruins it compared to matrix.

I had no idea XMPP wasn't encrypted, JFC that's garbage

Signal is not better than matrix in any way... or xmpp

It's actually not easy for them to take more drastic measures, and they're actively working on enforcing it.

The part where the content creator doesn't get paid and is supposed to according to the rules of the platform that you're violating is the part where it's piracy.
