Flaky

EndeavourOS might be worth a try if you miss the AUR, but if you don't like the maintenance associated with Arch's rolling release strategy then I'd stick to Debian.

I'm probably going to stick with Arch, or maybe EndeavourOS.

I've hopped from distro to distro but I always keep coming back to Arch. The reason I use Arch is that it's my weird sweet spot of "DIY" and "it just works". It gives me a blank slate at first, but it lets me paint the canvas with whatever I want, however I want. It allows for some weird setups (like VFIO, for instance) and the wiki really helps with that. I don't really use the AUR nowadays unless it's for a package only available there, so I can't say anything about that. I use Flatpak nowadays. Some people might prefer the AUR, that's good for them! Right now it's just not for me.

If I do distro-hop again, I'll probably go for EndeavourOS just to have an Arch install that leans heavier on the "just works" side of things.

I have honestly been tempted to hop to Pop!_OS for their take on GNOME. The auto-tiling was really nice when I tested it in a virtual machine.

Going to copy-paste the comment I posted on the cross-post:

I am going to temper my expectations a bit, since the article is specifically singling out their clause on accessing additional games. But at the same time, I am huffing the hopium since Sony has upstreamed PlayStation controller drivers to the Linux kernel, so they might be receptive to supporting SteamVR, Steam Link or something equivalent, if possible.

(No, before you ask, I’m not expecting Linux support on PSVR2.)

I've not installed Vim in a while and I do find myself doing that.

I've seen a lot of Debian mentions on the Linux communities here, lately. More than usual, lol. Maybe I should give it a good try with Flatpak to handle non-system packages.

The Lemmy instances that are popular right now likely won't sell it like Reddit would. However, you don't really need to, to grab publicly available data from Lemmy instances. The data is publicly available to view and for scrapers like Common Crawl (one of the datasets used for machine learning, used as one of the training datasets for GPT-3) to scrape. I don't know if Lemmy allows admins to hide comments without an account or not.

Not often but I have a moment where I do. Last year I contributed a plugin for MusicBrainz Picard which allows you to submit your genre tags to MusicBrainz. I want to give it a proper good update in the future but I'm so focused on other things right now.

I feel like the people who got scared of Bluesky joining the AP fediverse don't even actually want a fediverse. They want a bog-standard, non-federating bulletin board instead.

From what I saw, fedi people were mostly freaking the fuck out while most of the Bluesky users were just making fun of the whole ordeal.

AFAIK, no bridges to Bluesky are actually active yet, and Bridgy Fed is considering ways of going opt-in.

GNOME should at least support colour schemes, in my opinion. If they don't want theming, they can at least do that. In any case, Gradience can help with getting a coherent colour scheme on non-GNOME/libadwaita environments, and if the user is just using Breeze, they already have a Breeze colour scheme available. It's available as a Flatpak.
