100% agreed. I mean, he is Pencilhead! I always wondered what became of Son of Pencilhead.

So if one wanted to run Arch but were of a similar opinion to you, then they could run Manjaro, which is also a semi-rolling release distro. It’s just on the monthly cadence.

Everyone has their opinions on distros. Doesn’t mean any one opinion is wrong.

I mean, I did get the joke.

That’s a testament to Jones’s acting as well. I thoroughly enjoyed Action Saru in that scene.

We all should just use Arch.

This is the way.

I would say that by now, nearly 10 years after all this nonsense began, anyone who is still misguided or misinformed is being that way willfully.

No, I think I’ll go on gloating to these unhinged sycophants that their godking is now a convicted felon and their whining and tears are so very satisfying.

The moment they decided to attempt a literal coup is the moment they solidified any polarization. That ship has sailed. Now it’s time to see everything they worship fall apart.

Way to out-pedantize a pedant. Also, wikipedia isn't exactly a credible source. While I wouldn't personally split hairs on the use of "app", TimeSquirrel isn't wrong in that the use of that short-form wasn't ubiquitous until the time of smart-phones, and more specifically, the iPhone.

Also, since we're quoting sources, take a look at https://www.britannica.com/technology/mobile-app which specifically states "app" meaning "mobile device software".

I have none because it’s nonsensical otherwise.

The general populous would have no clue how to install Windows either, which can, to this day, still have driver issues.

The issue isn’t Linux. The issue is OEMs’ reluctance to provide hardware with Linux preinstalled. The moment Best Buy sells computers with Linux on it is the moment we’re done having this debate.

Or I could run pacman -S code on a system that doesn’t require hoops to jump through.

I think I just don’t see the reason or benefit of going the immutable distro route. At least not yet, for me. I’ll never say never, of course. Right now it feels like extra steps to achieve the same thing.
