ReCursing

I get fash ads on facebook claiming that Qatar is invading Europe. I report them every time I see them

KDE is for Kids. GNOME is for Grownups.

I cannot even begin to describe what a dumb take this is. I really hope i’s satire

What? I’ve been running it for a while. Wayland was pretty borked (couldn’t figure out how to make it not be 640x480!), but then I have an NVidia card and I believe that’s standard

Way back when I was just beginning to experiment with Linux back in the 90s I installed ZipSlack, which was a GUIless 100MB distro based on Slackware that ran from a folder on Windows. It was okay but I couldn’t really do much with it and back then 100MB was a chunk of space, so i went to delete it. But i thought I would give it one last hurrah by deleting it from Linux. So I made use of the infamous rm -rf and sat there thinking “this is taking a long time”… then realised I had my Windows drive mounted as a sub folder and I was in the process of wiping my hard drive of everything!

Please

She Ra was superb on that front, but representation matters even if its done badly

Needs more cats

It does now and has for years, but at first they didn’t realise how stupid Kool Desktop Environment sounded

My partner has been in hospital for six or seven weeks, had had a foot amputation, vast amounts of medication, a couple of days in the HDU (one step down from intensive care), and I don’t know what else. Costs so far: a couple of takeaway meals and some coffee. I didn’t even need to pay for parking because I’m disabled too and so have a blue badge!

Again you seem to think the only point of Manajro or Endeavour are to make it easier to install Arch.

It is.

Right, I’m done. I can’t be bothered to argue with this level of absolute mind-numbing stupidity any more. Please never say anything to anyone ever again.

Again you seem to think the only point of Manajro or Endeavour are to make it easier to install Arch. Plus you have offered no reason to use Endeavour over Arch

Please note I have not noticed stability or security issues to a greater degree than I have on any other distro that isn’t ultra-stable (e.g. Debian Stable)

Not really, no. You’ve told me why you think Manjaro is bad, but all you’ve told me about Endeavour is that it’s a) better than Manajro for unspecified reasons, and b) it;s Arch with a nicer installer yet somehow doesn’t have any of the problems you accuse Manjaro of, despite you claiming (for again unspecified reasons) that is the prime reason for choosing Manjaro as well

I chose it because, as I said, Manjaro and SuSE Tumbleweed were the two KDE-focused rolling release distros of which I was aware (not KDE as an afterthought like Fedora or Kubuntu) , and SuSE didn’t want to install that day. I’m honestly not sure why we’re even still having this argument!

I’m using it as a linux distro, which I then use to do things on my computer that I actually want to do like work and play games and browse the internet! I used the installer once and I seem to recall it was fine (though I’m not keen on the tepid green they chose as a colour scheme).

What do you use your computer for?

Debian and Slackware and Arch and Ubuntu also exist, they’re also not relevant

You also unwittingly showed why it doesn’t deserve it

Also I’ve just actually looked at EndeavourOS’ website and it says very clearly front and centre that it’s focused on the terminal, which is entirely not what OP was even asking for. It might be a fine distro, I don’t know, I’ve never used it or checked how many years it is since they cocked up, but it doesn’t present itself as a KDE focused distro which is what OP (and I) want!

Or maybe you just have a weird bee in your bonnet about something that’s not even really a problem as evidenced from your own numbers

It has been 442d 15h 07m 53s since Manjaro !$%&?*# up.

So a year and a half? That’s not all that bad really. And that time it was a (admittedly bloody stupid) cock up involving the SSL certificate of their website not of the distro itself

I already donate a fiver monthly to a few charities I like (Amnesty International, Liberty, and Wikipedia), I might add KDE to that list once my currently financial woes are sorted (along with Citizens Advice who are helping me through them)
