Not the above poster but Manjaro routinely pushes out broken packages, has had a number of issues with security (not renewing their tls certificates for their website) and is all around not stable. Arch is a predictable unstable, manjaro is an unpredictable unstable attempt at stable.

Imagine the alternative world where you had to back up your data, discard the device and buy an entirely new one because a simple piece of plastic broke.

Apple will tell you this practice allows them to build innovative and superior products while integrating hardware and software compatibility closer than ever.

I mean how the community refers to him. I've never read a thread where someone called Linus a BDFL, I have with python. If they do, they do. Just haven't seen it myself.

So I did miss that Linus is in the article, but the reference to him says he was awarded the title, which makes it sound like an honour rather than a hierarchical system. I don't believe that he's ever been anything other than the projects owner/founder but I'm happy to learn if I'm wrong.

I work in cyber security. Loads of businesses will do all the cybersecurity stuff using a combination of tools on Azure and security OS's like Kali and Parrot.

It is quite clearly pronounced "gif" as in "I sent a gif of Yoda screaming while having an orgasm"

Not the shark fucker but could you send me the guide on how to do this? I would love to set this up. Also does it work for multiple accounts?

That sentence should probably read "on my first day of using Linux outside of a vm on bare metal with an installation I intended to keep". I use Kali for security work and I used Manjaro once but it killed itself before I knew what I was doing.

Snaps are not very space efficient, I don't need the same packages installed multiple times. In a desktop use case that's a lot of repeating packages.

This guy gets it

Because snaps aren't the only feature the distro comes with. It's widely versatile, commonly used, and this argument isn't a good one. PopOS is good, so is ubuntu minus the snaps.
