What country?

Sure. One of those cons is that you have more packaging problems when you interact with non-Manjaro repos—like the AUR.

Nope. Both pamac and octopi work fine with EndeavourOS. In fact, they work better because the packages are not delayed like they are in Manjaro.

Fair enough. Of course, you know that the exact same graphical installer is also available on EOS right? It is not installed by default but it is in the repos.

Backed by a hardware reseller. Likely to be around as long as they stay in business.

What did you not like about EndeavourOS?

Triumph of visual design over interactive design. These days, most “designers” only care about graphics visually. The much deeper science of how people use and understand things is beyond them. Worse, they think the problem is that everybody else does not “get” visual design.

Style over substance.

Was it Manjaro? Just asking…

I have been using Arch and EOS a lot longer with no borks.

Been using EOS a lot longer and always flawless.

The only problem I have had is leaving a system too long and having to remember how to get the damn keyring to refresh. That is my biggest complaint.

Maybe just the reboot? Something was probably installed that was not started yet and it was started as part of the boot process?

Many distros leave printing support out by default these days. It is just not something everybody needs anymore.

In my house, I have Linux machines that print flawlessly and reliably to our HP laser. My wife has an iMac and I swear I have to install it fresh every time she goes to print. But the absolute best printing experience? Over WiFi from an iPhone. Crazy.

Deferred sacrifice. They still need to be sacrificed. He just doesn’t know when.

Cloud of wood fibres?

They are working on a pipewire plugin for that

Why doesn’t Arch just put yay in the repo?

“aren’t as many of them”

I do not believe that. There is more of everything now than there was Internet before. The web used to be tiny.

You are not going to find what you want by clicking on the “Mozilla Cool Site of the Day”. But they are out there.

Not that I do not agree with the point the OP is making. The “cool site” story itself illustrates the overall story-arc of the Internet pretty well:

First, I love this.

To be fair to the original poster though, he did not do the “GNU / Linux” thing. His point seems to be that “Linux” is not enough information to know much about the graphics stack and that seems fair since there is Wayland / Xorg and an array of DE, WM, and toolkit options.

Have you tried Chimera Linux? It does not even use GCC. It is even less “GNU” than Alpine but no less “Linux” and I do not mean just the kernel.

That teapot is orbiting somewhere. I have no idea if my universe is the one.

Saying that you “know” there is no God is an extraordinary claim. Do you demand extraordinary evidence from people that make that claim? Or do you only demand it from people following a philosophy that requires them to believe independent of evidence?

Honestly, this is about as smart as religious people demanding miracles before they will believe in Science.
