Now it just needs an NACS connector...

Linux can be a hobby, not just a tool. If you want to have fun with a new hobby, distro hopping will have plenty to keep you busy. But if you just want something to run your computer and your current distro does it for you just fine, then you're not missing out on anything but a headache.

It's funny, I'm in an opposite situation. I don't want to distro hop, but my current one has some issues that I'm getting a little fed up with (issues that are a result of my hardware and use case) so I am working up to swapping distros to find something with fewer issues. For me, I just want my OS to be transparent. I don't want a hobby. That's why it took me so long to swap to linux in the first place.

Anyways, IMHO, unless you're really into the idea of playing with your OS as a hobby, don't let FOMO trick you into making the mistake of throwing out what works in the hopes of greener grass.

I swapped last summer and landed on Pop!_OS after trying a few different options. If you game, Nobara is a great choice too. Other ones I considered were Mint, Ubuntu and SUSE Tumbleweed.

I would highly recommend trying them all with the live disk thingy. Mint didn't even work at all on my computer for some unknown reason, which was rather surprising considering how often it's recommended. It kept freezing right when the GUI logged in. So yeah, try em out for a little bit just to make sure there aren't any weird incompatibilities.

OP, 5 minutes of research on Manjaro will give you a very different impression of how easy or reliable it is.

Pretty sure I've heard this every election since Trump got elected. Though, admittedly, not from a noted gorilla scientist.

It's a fair point that there are different laws in different countries (or states) when it comes to PEV's and those could affect what people buy. But I still don't see it. Bikes have been around for a very long time, as has bad weather. If covered bikes were going to be a thing, they would be already.

I see the world rapidly realizing it doesn't need to pedal its bikes anymore. I can't see it adding pedals to things that have already had them removed...

It is beyond bizarre to me that we are discussing another election with Trump in it.

Yeah I was pretty disappointed when I realized that. Oh well.

and for me being forced in to one pedal driving was not ideal.

I don't know anyone with an EV who hasn't eventually moved to one pedal driving. It's one of those things that you think feels weird at first but once you try it for a few days you never want to go back.

Make the ER pro for 50k and you could sell them all day. But you can’t even order that option, much less get it for that price.

This is the obvious issue. They marked the base model up by $12k before it ever came out and then didn't make any. I would have one right now if I could get one for $40k like they said originally and I don't even like trucks!

He had also asked me about what I did for work and when I mentioned some of the stuff I did, he made a condescending remark to me too.

Lol, car salesman making condescending remarks on someone else's job! That's the funniest shit I've read all day!

My Model X was in the shop for ELEVEN MONTHS because Tesla decided it's more important to sell new cars than to use those parts for repairs. And it wasn't anything weird like parts for the gull wing doors, it was suspension parts.

You should REALLY look into that shit before buying another Tesla. I love that car, but no way am I buying another Tesla until they get their supply chain shit together.

Also, don't forget that starting next year pretty much every EV will be using Tesla's NACS connector and charging network going forward. That's no longer a reason to buy Tesla.
