I agree except for Manjaro. EndeavourOS is a better Arch derivative I think. There are quite a few reasons but the one that bugs me the most is I’ve had things break because they hold back packages from upstream.

I use the Starr apps with torrents. I kinda just forget all about it since it all just works.

They did mention stable, which is not something Manjaro can claim in my experience. They tend to hold back packages in the name of stability but it causes problems when using the AUR sometimes.

Do you make your own house keys?

I can wait for this game. Not really because I can have bear sex. Not my cup of coffee. But because the possibility is there. I wonder what else we’ll find with romance or otherwise. It was a fun showcase to watch.

Another vote for bitwarden. They have self host options. I use vaultwarden to self host it.

I’ve been playing Diablo 4 on it the last couple of days. Before that was Death Stranding.

I find EndeavorOS (Arch) to be very reliable. I use it with KDE. Gnome can be good too for a minimalistic style that doesn’t change much.

I love they had to specify this.

Aliens I tell ya! Fascinating.

That would be a weird statement to make. But that’s not really what I said. At all.

I didn't read the books. But now I want to as good as the show is. I have a friend that is doing both at the same time the silly man. Excellent show all around.

I’m an avid self hoster. I will self host anything I can, except email. It’s a bad idea all around. From security, complex administration, to not having a two factor password emailed out to you because of an issue on your network. And more reasons. Digital ocean has a decent article on it as well as many others. There are plenty of good providers out there to use. Personally I use Protonmail.

This looks excellent. Can’t wait!

I can’t disagree with you on that. But I did feel that even when it slowed down (especially after the gripping episode 3) they still gave me enough to keep me satisfied and intrigued.

Linux Mint is a good one to try out for starters. It is Ubuntu based so most of the time if you have an issue you can find tons on it in the Ubuntu help searches.

As for a browser, Firefox is likely pre installed and pretty excellent. All major browsers have a Linux client.

For gaming, steam had great support for windows games running on Linux. There is also Lutris and Heroic launcher which all have support for running games under a comparability layer.

Good luck and have fun!
