After some major fuckups by Manjaro, consider EndeavourOS over Manjaro. They are pretty similar otherwise.

Arch is alright if you aren’t new to Linux.

To be fair, Mint does a good job of fixing the annoyances that Ubuntu introduces. It comes with Snap disabled by default, for example.

It’s not like you can’t use Linux on a laptop with Nvidia GPU. It’s just that AMD works better (and isn’t as much of a PITA in how they treat regular Linux customers).

I’ve been roaming Linux (meme) communities for years, but never heard of this, even though it originates from the Bell Labs. Thanks for providing me with a new rabbit hole!

Easy. Every year is the Year of the Linux Desktop™.

The future as in this will dominate some day or as in this will be the best some day? Cause only one seems reasonable to me.

Though nothing can replace a proper backup

Hrm, but shouldn’t Linux Mint, being based on Ubuntu, have basically the same drivers?

Bubatz 👍🏻

To be fair, using Linux is (usually) much more of an active decision.

I thought there was an emacs command?

You just need to read physical media like stored somewhere you have physical control over, without DRM, and there hardly remains any disagreement.

I feel like this is a good time to point out that Linux is but the kernel. There are server-focused distros, there are consumer-focused distros. Linux supports them all; it isn’t really industrial in itself.

Force of habit? Plus, if I used Windows, I wouldn’t use Edge out of spite. Fuck their shady ways of pushing users to use it.

root folders as in /bin /etc.?

This exists. For example, for general decentralized storage, there’s storj.io, and there’s PeerTube. But I guess there’s a reason it’s not more widespread. I’d happily be proven wrong, though.

I’m not sure if we manage to do the same for video though; hosting these costs a lot more.

Oh my god
