Different file system formats have different strengths and weaknesses. There isn’t a universal best one.

It’s true. Simple things like “be sure to review AUR scripts before installing” are so easy to say, but incredibly difficult to really explain what you’re looking for that could be problematic.

That’s a flaw with pacman and I’ll die on that hill. If it’s critical for someone to read the Arch News file before updates and pacman supports pre install hooks it should be recording what time you last installed updates and checking for updates to the news file since then and printing them or giving you the link to it and saying “THERE IS AN UPDATE TO THE NEWS FILE, PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTINUING.”

I had this problem when I unplugged a keyboard while caps lock was on and my other keyboard didn’t have a caps lock key. “ARCH DISABLE CAPS LOCK” is in my search history because I didn’t wanna get up and get my other keyboard again.

Recommending someone Arch who is a newbie is just dirty. At least recommended EndeavourOS or something.

People keep saying it’s “simple”, then whip 3 terminal commands out of their pocket nobody without extensive knowledge would understand

People do the same thing for all Linux distributions though. You’ll see people telling you to run apt-get update && apt-get upgrade like you’ll see people telling you to run pacman -Syu.

Not arguing that Arch is easy, just that this specifically doesn’t feel like a counter argument.

In the Japanese zodiac it is the year of the Linux desktop.

What’s any of that got to do with HDR though? I’m so confused.

I’m using CachyOS, I think it was set up out of the box.

I’ve definitely heard Mac fans rant and rave about Mac being the best.

Why didn’t you just start by saying this?

I got the joke!

Yes yes, Linux is a kernel, but it’s pretty obvious from context they mean desktop operating systems using the Linux kernel.

People that just want to open word documents don’t need HDR. What’s your point?

I get your point, and it is a fair criticism of how these discussions tend to go. That said, I think it goes both ways. I’ve had problems on Windows I didn’t have on Linux and/or Mac. None of them are perfect. They all have their unique problems.
