I use bazzite, and it admittedly isn't the best for out-of-the-box development work because of it being atomic

You can just make a container for your development, but I'd rather not (I just layer packages atm and I'm working on making my own image based on it that has the stuff I want)

I typically recommend pop!_os over Manjaro

Realistically, though, most distros will work well for gaming if you install steam, proton-up, and maybe lutris so long as you don't need Nvidia drivers

I'd bet it was a family member that did it

I was raised Catholic and had the misfortune of going to a Catholic school, so I can give you the reasons they believe these things. To start off, I know nothing about eastern Orthodox Catholic beliefs

  1. Catholics believe you're not praying to the saint or whatever, but praying through them. What they hate is praying to stuff. (I know, confusing and makes little sense)
  2. Probably the answer would be "artist interpretation". One religion teacher (literally studied Catholic theology) I've also had said something along the lines of "Adam and Eve likely weren't really the first humans, they were just a representation of something" (sorry I couldn't be clearer, I never paid attention)

I liked it except for that "ad blocking is piracy" shit he snuck in there

Yeah people on the Internet tend to be very very jumpy at anyone It could very well have been that people just took your tone as condescending or whatever better adjective describes it. It isn't your fault

I found that thread because I was curious I've skimmed it and saw many instances of people going "but it's only on the snapdragon x chip", as if Intel and AMD aren't gonna release the same CPUs but capable of more AI shit

Has ddg ever really claimed to use its own index? I've always thought of it being a bing frontend

edit: Apparently start page pulls from Google and Bing (going off of this)

Yeah I tried installing it a year or two ago, but a lot of the hardware on my laptop (only machine atm) was not compatible. It was stuff like the touchpad not even being detected. I booted into the same install iso a few months ago and somehow it all worked.

It's a shit show sometimes, but it can surprise you

I disagree. I've used KDE's discover thingy to install stuff basically through dnf on fedora. It's incredibly possible for the average user, who basically just browses the web and maybe writes documents.
