If I were using Manjaro right now, at the first opportunity, I would be switching to something else. Too much enshitification happening everywhere, and people need to start voting with their "wallets" to stop these greedy fucks.

Are you trying to gatekeep Linux to only power users that use a CLI, are way above the average in computer literacy, and happen to know the nuances between Linux and other operating systems?

This is the kind of thinking that will prevent adoption to the masses. Linux doesn't have to be stupid hard to use. There are specific distros like vanilla Arch for advanced users to tinker with and options like Manjaro and Ubuntu that are ideally functional out of the box for those that just want something to work.

What Manjaro is doing here is dumb AF, and should rightfully be heavily criticized, but you statement feels like your saying you should have to be a computer expert to use any Linux distro, and that's dumb.

You misunderstand. I'm not using any centralized social media. Lemmy is my one and only. I'm saying It's worth celebrating the small wins and encouraging companies to continue moving to models like this. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good.

Switching to vaping is less bad, and for me, it lead to me quitting all together. So to me, this is still a small win, and I like to celebrate small wins these days.

That's fair. My next build will be AMD. I only switched to Linux the past December, and I already had my gear, so it is what it is for now. Further, my case is too small for new GPUs, so I'm riding my 2080ti to the end.

True, but Nvidia has come a long way and I believe announced support in the recent months, but don't quote me on the last part. I have a desk and laptop both with Nvidia GPUs, and I don't have any issues. Wayland did not work until 4-6 months ago, but everything is pretty stable now.

I'm so glad this happened. I really wanted to believe them when they said it was an error and would corrected. It appears that in relatively short order they addressed the issue, gave an explanation, an expectation, then nailed it. I hate when I recommend something, then have to backtrack because they changed.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt that you had a genuine question, but I now feel that was a mistake.

Anyone can decide what gender they feel like. Most people identify with one of the major genders, but many people don't for multiple possible biological reasons. Nobody is in good faith identifying as a gender they don't actually feel like.

I do believe that's beyond the power of the FTC, but I agree.

Not when it comes to air traffic.
