EndeavourOS is the best imo because it’s basically arch with a minimal skin on it to aide in installation etc

I’ve been using it for the better part of 5 years now with no issues. I play games, self host, work etc It’s great.

If you install paru you get access to the AUR which has everything under the sun ready to install.

Arch is plenty stable

I’m not a programmer but I’ve been using linux for over 20 years. It’s crazy to me that someone who develops software for a living would not just run Windows but have never meaningfully ran linux. 🤔

I have a thinkpad that runs this. It’s a great little distro.

Lol this is exactly where my mind went

I agree. I refuse to watch ads or to pay for an experience that offers less than a fraction of what Newpipe offers. When Newpipe is no longer viable I’ll repurpose that time to chipping away at my reading list.

It’s going to translate into a trained AI that takes all of those jobs.

Even if I don’t agree with you on all of what you said I agree with most of it. Sound reasoning and all that. The autism/aspergers ‘excuse’ is definitely hard to accept given his history.

Regardless, someone like him simply shouldn’t be at the positions he has held if the open source community is to gain progress.

I’m conflicted here. The fact that he’s a weirdo is kind of irrelevant imo. He’s philosophically uncompromising and unmoved by social pressure. The only thing separating him from most tech CEOs is that he lacks an organization investing millions into his health, image, publicity etc Most big time executives are degenerates but no one cares because they are good at what they do. I think he’s good at making software free even if he’s a socially inept [insert criticism here] in his personal life. Additionally I’m saying this as someone who disagrees with him on basically every other issue he takes a stand on.

Yeah. I’m not a big “celebrity” person but he’s had a net positive impact to the world and devoted his life to his cause. I have a signed copy of his hacking book from a seminar in college. I hope he comes out on the other side. I have a lot of respect for him despite his eccentric statements.
