I never said anything about “tiptoeing around”, but what you said here is correct…

Any distro will “just work” if used correctly…

I honestly don’t care about dethroning windows or anything related to it. All that matters to me is that my Linux system works the way I need it to…

Computer is connected to the router via ethernet. The connection to the router is I believe fiber optics…

Doesn’t have to be every week. Could be every other week or at least once a month. I haven’t used Windows since 2002, but personally, I update once a week, and it never takes all that long, maybe 2-3 minutes tops. But I understand that it’s not for everyone…

Fair enough…

Arch can definitely be a “set & forget” type of distro. Just install it, use it correctly, and that’s really it. No need to upgrade to new releases; just keep the system up to date…

OpenSUSE was actually released long before Arch even existed. I’m an Arch user, btw, but I consider both operating systems to be excellent choices. Everyone has their own preferences. Let people enjoy what they like and embrace their individuality. We don’t all have to be alike…

Not every system, no…

Anxiety at its finest !!

Personally, I consider a “bloated system” to be one that has a bunch of installed apps that I’ll never use…

In the past, some people have expressed dissatisfaction when I’ve sent them files in .odt format. However, it’s the superior format in terms of support and functionality, so I always make them aware of that and of the fact that I will never use some shitty ms product…

This was a cool read. Thanks for sharing :) I’ve been an XFCE user since 2002 & can confirm that as a longtime user I’ve never really encountered anything other than a few small problems…

All Linux distros are kinda the same really.

• Use them incorrectly & they’ll break…
• Use them correctly & they’ll just work…

This is how not to use Arch… Update at least once a month, or if not maybe at least twice a month. If you can’t handle the updates on Arch then consider switching to something like Debian…

I’ve actually been meaning to give systemd boot a try. Been using grub just fine though & I’ve never actually had any problems with it…

I installed Arch once & it took less than 30mins to complete. Still using the same install, as it has literally never broken. This comic literally applies to those people who use Arch incorrectly…

I can see how that would be problematic. Hopefully that’ll never happen to me…

This has never happened to me, well at least not yet. The only thing that’s ballsed up recently is Nvidia drivers…

Had some problems while trying to compile and install a WiFi driver for the first time. Managed to find the email of the driver’s creator and sent them a message. They responded a few hours later with incredibly helpful guidance, walking me through the process and enabling me to get it working, all while gaining valuable insights…
