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

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?

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!

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.

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

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.

Aliens I tell ya! Fascinating.

I love they had to specify this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Maybe. But they lost me. It brought me here and I like it here. And that is enough for me.

This looks excellent. Can’t wait!
