As a general rule, people start liking Manjaro when they start getting good at Linux. But I never really liked Manjaro. On the other hand, I don’t understand why customizing Arch is more complicated than customizing NixOS, where you can’t always just “copy-paste” ready-made recipes. But people bounce away from Linux precisely because of watching the artwork of Linux youtubers. Because it is impossible to describe what they do in pursuit of advertising views.

I like Lemmy for inheriting all of Reddit’s positive traits. Tough moderation, bots in the comments, stupid upvote/downvote hells, and many other virtues. I remember how it all started and all the sweet utopian tales of those who shouted “f*ck u/spez” on every corner. You can delete your Reddit account, but you can’t delete Reddit from your head.
I would like to see Linux finally move to the FreeBSD architecture model. Or a sane Linux with a FreeBSD kernel.
Linux is my primary OS. I have no experience with Windows. Therefore, I cannot compare Linux and BSD systems with Windows. When I started using Linux, it wasn’t very functional, but I didn’t want to pay money for something as glitchy as Windows was in 1998. But for my needs at the time, Linux was sufficient. The PC usage pattern in 1998 was a bit different from today’s PC usage pattern. Mail, primitive messenger (IRC), primitive games. Torturous WEB. I’m back in the days when an html page would load within a couple minutes and I didn’t consider that unusual. I remember times when I would spend all night downloading a 5 megabyte package. The Internet connection would glitch and break and the price of the connection was no fun for anyone. Then FreeBSD 5 came out, and after the glitches of Linux it was pure bliss. I even considered switching to this system completely, but unfortunately FreeBSD quickly began to lag behind the capabilities of desktop PCs and I had to abandon this idea. I could tell IT tales for a long time, but I will say that Linux became a digestible OS relatively recently, around 2015. I currently use OpenBSD and Fedora. I’m happy with all of them.

How can you sell someone free stuff?
Looks like Gnome.
