All opinions are biased and I don’t like Manjaro!

Dualbooting is a great start for most people who want to switch but USB sticks have cheap storage controllers so they will die insanly fast if you put that kind of load on them permanentely and it will probably be slower than a HDD.

They crash enough on Windows already, I would highly recommend against it! :/

True that!

You should be able to switch that on the login screen, Fedora started to shit Wayland a little early for my taste but it works really well by now

I think they do a great job for new Linux users because what seems like bloat to us is the (at least in my opinion) most comolete GUI experience on Linux but I agree, it dose have quite a bit preinstalled to achive that.

If you want something that “just works” any Arch base won’t be a good idea in my opinion. I love Arch but there will be certain things to figure out from time to time and for someone with little experience they can be tough! For you usecase I would recommend Fedora, that’s a lot more up to date but not a rolling realease and tends to just work for me.

Even before their repairability score from iFixit sucked big time! :/

🤦

Now you compare EMails aka mostly private communication to a public forum, that’s even dummer…

I don’t think there is much of a point switching away from Arch if you like it but as others suggested already NixOS seems like what you are searching for.

Guix isn’t a Linux distro but it’s definitely unique and probably for advanced users! :)

Tf? I just say that it’s probably mostly single user and small instances that will want something like that because they don’t have the moderation caipabilities and might trust the admins of a big instance, not sure what your sentence is supposed to mean tho so could you explain?

This tool is kind of for those single user instances tho and while something like this could hurt Lemmy that’s only the case if it’s used wrong, I doubt big instances will start to share block lists because they have the resources to gather them manually!

I generally agree but the comparison can’t be made that directly in my opinion because the small userbase of desktop Linux alone helps a lot there and the addition of repositories and Flathub do so too!

Cool, I didn’t know about that one but I am a Gnome user so I can’t say I ever really looked for another spin ether! :)

I think Podman should do a good job but I never used it myself, Distrobox is build on it and a lot easier to use so that’s what I would recommend!

Not updating regularly is the best way to brick a rolking release, just trust me on that one! 😅😂

Unless you are in a cooperate environment or very careless with the stuff you download and commands you run you shouldn’t need one!

Definitely, you have to want to learn Linux fast and possibly a little more painful if you choose that path. Especially that SteamOS comparison annoys me, you spend basically all your time in a completely sandboxed environment with that (Steam uses Flatpaks for everything) so it has very little to do with Arch for most users!
