It’s interesting to read people’s issues on Linux. It seems almost all of them come from the graphic stack and gaming. Using an Intel card I haven’t seen an issue in forever.

Upvoted, joke appreciated :)

I know it’s a joke, I hate to be that guy. But this meme feels old and obsolete now. I can’t remember the last time I had to tweak my Linux. The fun is gone

Should I feel ashamed as I migrated from second hand Thinkpads to second hand Dell Latitude? I got a 7410 for 300€ 2 years ago and I really have no complaint about it. And it looks better (personal opinion).

Thanks!

Nice, well done. I wish I could find the same for Debian.

I don’t understand the simpler argument. Installing and using extensions and gnome-tweaks to change basic settings is not simpler. And I strongly dislike a large number of defaults.

With KDE Plasma, defaults make more sense to me so I barely have to change configuration. If I really need to, the setting is there and easily used.

You have been banned by Red Hat’s management

It’s even worse with Fedora in my experience. Always some weird default, strange issue, missing packages that take ages to fix until you decide it’s not the right distribution for you. And you go with Debian, Arch, Manjaro, Mint, etc…

Manjaro user here, they’re both cool

I agree with everything you said, that’s fair. But I do not remember having to much difficulties coding UI interfaces in Qt while supporting numerous end-user configurations.

I feel like this article is completely missing my point. I’ve done my share of programming websites but not for the past 2 decades. And now I’m completely lost at reading CSS. I can’t make sense of the code shown in the picture. And that’s always been my trouble with CSS: the tendency to unnecessarily over-complicate things while reinventing the wheel. They have created a huge barrier for entry to the world of website programming and I think it’s a shame.

Well, that’s my experience as a Manjaro user on my daily home laptop for 3+ years. I’m really happy about it and can’t make sense of the criticism I’m reading about it.

They do more than that. They basically triage individual updates in a testing environment before enabling them in stable. I can keep my entire OS up to date with all the latest security updates while remaining in the latest KDE Plasma 5 version as long as Manjaro thinks version 6.x is not stable enough.

To me that’s a huge advantage over Arch.

Well, yeah. But how do you keep updating your distribution while freezing KDE version?

Why do you say that? I’ll get kde 6.02 or later directly, without having to go through the previous versions.

I knew my opinion wasn’t popular, but that’s why I’d rather use Manjaro than Arch. I can wait for a bit of stability before getting KDE6.

Obviously go home to KDE Plasma!

No need to go through extensions and tweaks for basic stuff and sane defaults.

Which distribs have pacman but not AUR?

That doesn’t make any sense right? Most of them just works at least as well as Fedora.
