For as much as Linux nerds (myself absolutely included) complain about distros like Ubuntu and Manjaro, I’d still take either one over Windows or MacOS any day.

Screw that You’re all great everybody from slackware to steam deck.
Steam Deck is weird. I mean, I love it, but coming from vanilla Arch it can be frustrating at times. Discover is terrible. Luckily, Distrobox is a thing.
I putz with Discover sometimes. Though I have no idea how it resolves package updates under the hood, as it often will produce a different manifest than running dnf itself.
What would you like to see improved?
I usually can’t find what I’m looking for, so a larger catalogue would go a long way. I also had problems with some software versions. The one that comes to mind is that Firefox had behavior with the save dialogue that I don’t like. It’s a minor issue, but one that I don’t have with the build in the Arch repo. I have a vague memory of something just not working, but I couldn’t tell you what at this point.
Ah, I see! Yeah, a bigger catalog would be nice. You can add more repositories to it, enable Flathub, which provide more options, but something about it does feel hamstrung.
The Firefox thing is something I know about! You can set a config option in the
about:configpage to tell Firefox to use your desktop’s standard dialogue. It has to do with XDG Desktop specifications, I thinkIt uses the system dialogue, but it starts from the same directory each time. If I’m saving files it’s usually multiple files in succession, so I want the dialogue to start off pointed at the last directory I saved to. The Arch build does that.
Ooohh! Interesting. You’ve got me curious about that now. I’ll have to look into it.
to steam deck.
to SteamOS
Slack where?
That’s all well and good, but can we talk about proper use of this meme template?
Shouldn’t it be “further”? farther is for physical distance, further is for figurative/metaphorical distance.

I’m shocked there wasn’t a single minion or cry-laugh emoji plastered on.
Eh it works just fine 🤷♂️
Still quietly asking myself why tf that is important. I need an OS to do a task, and I need it to be as easily configurable and as unobtrusive as possible. If I was into nursing an OS I’d have stayed with Windows.
SteamOS.
Tumbleweed!
The most stable rolling distro.
I run distro, btw
Just setup Mint last night and have been troubleshooting how to get everything to work. So far I’m liking it. Last thing I setup was Lutris for gaming so that’s nice.
Which edition of Mint?
Cinnamon
So true. But this is (usually) more like sibling rivalry instead of actual disrespect. It is kinda fun if you’re in the mood to poke at your peers.
Went with nix about a month ago and it started off great. Slowly learning to not really like it. A lot of problems that are really hard to fix
EndeavourOS
I’m on Tumbleweed right now. Used to be on Arch flavors, Garuda then Cachy OS.
Tumbleweed is almost as fast for gaming performance, I just don’t have it in me to do all the tinkering anymore. Just want something up to date that works.
Arch was… great and pretty reliable, just got tired of the tinkering.
