I very much doubt that. You underestimate the emergent intelligence of these models.

Your reason of "wish to start fresh" doesn't sound compelling.

Arch is stable, and works great. Biggest draw for NixOS is packages. I don't think NixOS has anything to offer in packages that I can't get in Arch. I'll not advocate switching to an experimental distro with who knows what other headache, just because I can run Debian or rpm packages. Not for a daily driver.

Do it only if you are bored or something.

How do we know that Fediverse will be any different? After all if it is a law and you get a legal subponae, you comply with it.

I hate that they also SEO'd the hell out of major search engines to show snap setup and installation instructions when anyone searches for installing a package. E.g. "arch install firefox" leads to https://snapcraft.io/install/firefox/arch which is downright dishonest marketing.

And snap has other issues, such as it's very badly implemented. No sane person wants to see 100s of lop devices mounted on lsblk all the time.

Sorry dude. Despite what they say, girls do not like video games. And even though you didn't mention I know your fiance is woman with high creativity. Of course there are exceptions, but in general the truth is that girls don't like it, and she won't get into it. She may think of this as a chore, and even though she can be a backseat driver of one or two games, she still will not continue with it. Unpopular opinion I know but I'm telling you what will happen, mark my words.

Just like YouTube is a left wing cesspool with cancel culture?

Agree with this. I think we need to treat whether we empathize with the person separately from how corporates treat people.

Looks as though silencing individuals without records is becoming a trend, with the other notable news of Amazon banning someone for something they didn't do that I saw just a few days after I saw this news.

Honestly the news seems to be about RHEL. Fedora should still be good.

I've been using Arch, and very happy with it. Very low maintenance except updating once every one or two weeks.

I just installed Fedora. I think it's good for a laptop which you plan to seldom open or update. I'll continue using it.

I'll stay far from Ubuntu, because I do not like snap - and it reminds me of Windows on how I have to tinker to avoid something the OS wants to push on me.

If you were considering Ubuntu then you'd like Debian - and wouldn't go wrong with it.

The push towards app from mobile browser was insane. In the end they even made NSFW marked posts impossible to view in web browser. WTF.

Can the number of votes differ by instances? By how much - a lot?

Edit: I guess it will if there's a lag for syncing. Any other reasons?
