I like my bubble and I have a lot tolerance for BS and a high count blocklist. I’m just tired of it all.

    I have no context on it so maybe my post was unfair.

    Putting myself in the position of reaching out, I think I’d just have made the decision that it should need removed, and removed it from the kerne without reaching out. I feel that somebody who killed his wife doesn’t get to be involved in those conversations.

    That purely my opinion saved I appreciate it’s likely not popular. Just being honest. I can see the other side. And I do appreciate the part about closure. That makes sense.

    I don’t think he has. I disagree. I think he wants Linux to be Windows and that is a huge mistake.

    I didn’t move to Linux because the software is so much better than on Windows. I moved to Linux because it gets out of my way, doesn’t spy on me and development is focused on making it better for me as a user and not to suit the next Skynet.

    Linux allows me to be more productive and gives me functional software that does what I need it to. Sometimes it’s not pretty but I don’t care. It does the job.

    If companies start taking on developing or porting their stuff to Linux, then Linux is going to end up like Windows - a shit show of corporate greed and an OS designed and focused for hoovering up users private information.

    I don’t want that.

    It doesn’t have to be like that. Much like the turtle and the scorpion story, companies do what is in their nature: they must keep making more and more and more to satisfy the shareholders greed and that does not align with me getting a better experience. It’s just how things are.

    I personally couldn’t care less about Adobe’s software. Kdenlive is not Premiere Pro, but it does what I need it for. GIMP isn’t Photoshop, but does what I need it to. Krita or Inkscape isn’t Illustrator but I don’t use them. What astounds me is each of these are free and are incredible pieces of software.

    As somebody else pointed out. If you want to use Adobe products, either use Windows as your primary OS or dual boot. It’s not hard. At all. Same for AutoCAD. Just because Windows is an either / or, for me, doesn’t mean it has to be for you. Use both.

    Now Manjaro on the other hand… Tried it and understood why so many people don’t like it within the first week.

    I see this a lot and nobody really ever explains, properly, why.

    I have used Linux off and on for many years (mainly server OS such as RHEL and CentOS). I have now migrated from Windows desktop to Manjaro KDE. Using it for a year. Had one issue (wouldn’t boot after a kernel update), which I sorted quickly. Other than that it’s been rock solid.

    But this isn’t a ‘I have a great experience so you’re all just haters’ post.

    I know the stuff about it being a week or behind Arch. I remember something about the maintainers (can’t remember specifics) but they seem to be minor niggles that don’t affect most people.

    Genuine question.

    Why do you dislike Manjaro? I also know it’s a common theme to dislike it, so any other insight there?
