That’s what I said.

It’s very easy to get a Gnome look and feel with Plasma nowadays.

I still don’t know why Gnome loves wasting 3 % of the screen on an empty black bar, tho.

Not my experience so far with my single service I’ve been running for a year. It’s making me even think of opening up even more stuff.

Maybe you are just dealing with the new Plasma 6.1 feature for multi-monitor setups? It’s pretty useful, but I find it annoying too, and thankfully this is KDE, so there’s always the possibility to make it your way.

Here’s a way to tweak the setting to your liking.

I could understand that some distros’ kernel had binary blobs, but the main kernel?? I was not expecting that if it’s true.

Let’s face it, if you install Linux (or even Windows!) for your mom, you put VLC in there.

Yes, some other tools are better at some things, but VLC is the perfect choice for the “standard” user.

If you are not hosting, it having a repo on Github makes no difference. The server you are connecting to might have a different service running and you cannot know.

I would say that does apply in the case of Endeavour OS but shouldn’t for a custom install with 100 % Arch+AUR packages.

*GUI installer

The dracut-systemdboot thing makes no sense. If you are installing Arch Linux, you have all options available? There is no “default” Arch, 😅

Sorry I don’t understand your first question.

What I mean is that anyone (in fact there were projects that did this) could make an image with an installer GUI for Arch Linux that installed Arch Linux and some opinionated software like Endeavour does. But at the end you just got an easy Arch installation. What bothers me is that instead of pushing for Arch Linux’s brand, Endeavour created their own, virtually wrapping Arch Linux as theirs, and I don’t believe it is enough work to consider it a different distro, because it is LITERALLY ARCH with a couple of extra packages (that could be on the main repos or the AUR).

And I am saying all this as an Endeavour user myself!

First of all: it’s a joke.

Second of all: no, Arch is not as easy to install, specially for someone who is looking at Manjaro as a possibility.

And believe me, I was once a Manjaro user.

And for 99% of Manjaro users, what they really wanted was Arch with an installer. Which is what Endeavour OS is. (Although I’ll never understand why Endeavour people didn’t just develop the tools FOR Arch instead of wrapping it all up as their own).

I have 0 knowledge of these things, but I do know that people always comment that sudo is bloated, that nobody is truly using everything that sudo can do, only one basic command.

I was kinda referencing warp, a supposedly new terminal that was also written in Rust, had AI stuff, started on Mac, and finally got a Linux version, which lasted 30 seconds on my computer once I saw there is no option to use it unless you make an account. Yes. For a LOCAL terminal. Nuts.

I don’t know if Merkuro Calendar has been ported to Windows yet

Somehow all these OSS projects that start with only a Mac client seem so suspicious to me…

I wonder if they will enforce a login to use the software?

Then just install it and use it. No need for tweaks.
