One of the scary things about Linux is that if you actually care a lot that a thing works you might quickly end up becoming one of the most knowledgeable people on that thing and before you notice you are the person responsible for something barely working.

None of these are stability problems.

You can spin the wheel and hope it works better on a different distro.

You can investigate the problems and try to fix them.

Or you can ignore it and live with it. (my favorite)

I don’t want to be on a social network for and by Bitcoin bros

I don’t really care for being an early adopter for a social network. And their screenshots fill me with dread.

Why do you even want a new laptop? 4060 sounds pretty recent?

This is genai

maybe it will lead to better accessibility tooling. This is obviously rather silly as a default mode of operations, especially if you imagine people in a crowded office all yelling at their computers.

Who says that?

I think recommending archlinux as a first distro is fine if the person is so inclined. (CS students)

Then projects move their repos somewhere else which is pretty easy with git.

Redhat doesn’t control debian or arch

It’s widely used because it’s good.

Nobody is forcing all these distros to adopt systemd. Nobody is forcing distros to stick to systemd.

Why? You can always do things differently than other distros

On one distro. 🤷

There are some specifically made for archival purposes. Not sure how much the certification is really worth but it might be worth looking into.

Literally what’s the downside? I always been in favor of even Microsoft getting into Linux. I want Microsoft to make a Linux desktop just like they have made a dos desktop. I want Microsoft to work on inter-compatibility like they already have done a bit with WSL. Add ext support to Windows, add proper NTFS support to Linux. Make something like Wine that is actually good.

This won’t kill community distros unless the corporations are doing a very good job.

Well Firefox used to be very popular at some point.

Mostly stagnation

Inside me are two penguins, one of them wants Canonical to be more like redhat, the other wants Canonical less like redhat

It’s fine. Personally I don’t like RPM much, but maybe it’s better outside of RHELL
