Manjaro does “stability” by delaying everything by two weeks. That doesn’t really help at all and might hurt you for security updates, because those will wait the same two weeks.
It uses the Arch repos directly though
Which ones? I’m not aware of any besides specialised distros like SteamOS
Or, you know, a simple installer from the dev’s website.
They require a lot of driver work to get everything working. Many of their chips for example only support h264 hardware decoding at the moment, although they would be capable of h265 as well. Another example would be the PineTab 2, which now after a few years has working wifi and an alpha bluetooth driver. Yes, it’s always getting better, but very slowly and it might well take another few years until you can just run a mainline kernel with full hardware functionality.
I wonder when the year of people shut up about systemd will be
I meant what I wrote, but couldn’t think of a better way to word it 😅
I’m focusing more on the community building and advancing software parts of the work they did/do. Some products are in a pretty good state, but that’s not the case for others.
I don’t have concerns about shipping, more about the community building and support aspect of their products.
If you’re happy with a product’s current state then fine, but if not you’re pretty much on your own.
I wouldn’t; perfectly placed mistake?
Certainly feels like it and I personally wouldn’t buy anything from them at the moment.
Edit: would -> wouldn’t
Just installing applications is pretty easy though.

Something like that (untested)
They promised one years ago, but never delivered. My main reason for supporting Steam even over GOG.
Please make sure to implement democracy first, we have enough issues with dictatorships and oligopolies already.
I’m not a kernel dev, but I’ve read often enough that there are some places where “everything is a file” somewhat breaks down on Unix. (I think /proc and some /dev)
For an “absolutely everything is a file” system have a look at plan9, it was the intended successor to Unix, but then that got popular while plan9 stayed a research project.
Are you sure you want pipewire
and pulseaudio
installed and trying to run?
Maybe replace pulseaudio
with pipewire-pulse
, unless I’m missing something from your post.
Different person, but I’ll try to explain some of what I know.
Traditional Linux:
*you might have python3.8
and python3.9
, but those must be created as different packages using different paths in /usr
NixOS, Guix:
Immutable OS (haven’t seen one mentioned by OP, but it’s a category):
SerpentOS:
Not sure why ClearLinux is on that list of special distros and I don’t know half of the rest so yeah. Hope this explains some of it?
Yeah it’s common. I’m not confused by it, just like a normal g more.
You can still use the real uBlock Origin instead of the mediocre version Google allows
