I am on EndeavourOS since 2 years or so, after I stopped using Manjaro (and then before that I stopped using Ubuntu). I am personally not searching for a distribution right now, it was just a question to see what others would prefer. And I love EndeavourOS so far, its a great distribution.

For Manjaro, it remains to be seen how the restructure will workout. They will become a non profit organization. The previous leadership (phil) was one of the reasons why I stopped using Manjaro a while ago, maybe 2 years by now. Just looked into the link a bit and… it’s worse than I thought.

Ubuntu has its own problems, but I think if the core infrastructure and leadership cannot be trusted, then no other decision on the project matters. So my personal vote would go for Ubuntu and against Manjaro, if I were to decide which of them to use.

What’s more trustworthy, Ubuntu or Manjaro?

I just made a similar comment and totally agree on both points. In the past, handhelds were actually this small, like a (bigger) phone with controls attached. Smartphones have bad battery life too and if its based on Android, then privacy concerns too. A dedicated handheld should be cheaper then full fledged power smartphone being able to play those games.

Enable Beta updates.

A Steam smartphone implies to me its main purpose is to play PC games and not caring about the other stuff. And no, for that reason I wouldn’t buy a Steam smartphone. Because playing games on mobile phone sucks, for controls (and I always need a controller in addition), battery life and size. And its probably as expensive as a PC. I would rather buy a dedicated handheld, if its available in this form. And if its based on Android, its a nogo anyway, for privacy reasons.

We are the chosen ones. :D

Did you notice anything that would be worthwhile switching from EndeavourOS to CachyOS? Not having any problems is nice, but is there an actual reason and do you even notice it in real world usage (I don’t count benchmarks)?

They had way too much ambition, which was beyond name and brand change. They had or planned changes in functionality and features as well. What I suggest is, a simple name and brand change. They just need to create a patch that is always patching after a new version of GIMP, without further ambition.

For the most part they don’t. And it is only one reason why Indie games are important. The other is that the games often tend to be cheaper, sometimes more innovative, doesn’t try to put micrtransactions in everything and so on.

I’m just sad its Torrents now. I personally avoid Torrents whenever “piracy” is involved, because everyone who connects to the same Torrent can see my IP.

That is not really true. I use same graphics card and upgrade it with new console cycle. Or maybe once in between.

Indie games are more important than ever.

The color scheme, more dense and compact styles, non floating tabs, less rounded, and here and there stuff. I even changed something after posting. Being able to make changes to the UI with custom CSS is amazing on Firefox.

I don’t notice any difference regarding this topic. And I used Kitty and Alacritty before too, for months or years in combined usage. And I am someone who does a lot stuff in terminal, including programming Rust, write lots of scripts and use a terminal filemanager from time to time. Konsole is not noticeably slower than Kitty, it is measurably and marginally slower than Kitty on specific hardware and tasks, but not in my experience. I only speak for myself and my experience.

I used a few terminal apps in the past. My current one is “Konsole” from the KDE project. It is quiet feature rich, has support for tabs and color schemes. It even supports split views, where multiple “terminals” are in one window and stay together. What I also find useful is, it has a right mouseclick menu option to open current directory in my file manager.

But it does not have a builtin functionality to “hide”. For KDE there is an extension (called Kwin Scripts) to turn any terminal app you want to into a quake or yakuake like drop down: Quakified Terminal But that is for KDE only off course. Edit: I just learned this Quakified Terminal addon is quite new and got its first release version 4 hours ago as of writing. Lol. That’s a coincidence.

I was only talking for myself, which tool is better for me.

I argue that GIMP is for image creation too. It does even better job at this, depending on what type of work you are doing. I don’t like to create pixel (as in retro gaming) graphics in Krita. I am not talented at all, but I can judge the workflow I think. That was just an example off course. We all know Krita excells at creating painted like arts with a pen and brushes simulation.
