Yummy. It inflicts 20 points of psychic damage every time I hear it used unironically whithin earshot. Other than that, no particular reason.

It ain’t just Pop my guy! I just hopped from Elementary and about shit myself when I found that Pop uses the same app center. Gues I’ll just use apt until I die.

What was it the Ferrari guy said? I don’t care about door gaps, when a Ferarri owner hits the gas I want him to shit his pants. Well if that ain’t Linux.

Sure, the drivers install real quick, but the whole model is rolling release. In three months, you can’t be sure that any one piece of software is actually compatible with the rest of your packages. Any long time Arch user will tell you about the weird manual tweaks they’ve had to make at one time or another just to make sure their wifi still works or soemthing like that. After like 26 months of updates, my version of wpa_supplicant just gave up the ghost and started crashing. Didn’t have this issue on Ubuntu, so the fix was clear. This wasn’t the first time some bizarre driver issue cropped up either. I’ve booted into black screens, my audio stopping working one day, I’ve had to patch my video drivers a time or two, and this is on a System 76 Galago Pro, so its not like I was using some exotic setup. I’ve just had to reboot from grub one too many times I think.

You read my mind. I’m currently trying to restrain myself from reinstalling Manjaro, and this post reminded me why I switched Ubuntu two years ago. Two drama free years as far as I’m concerned. And I can use printers without switching kernels! Imagine that!
