Sure. One of those cons is that you have more packaging problems when you interact with non-Manjaro repos—like the AUR.

Nope. Both pamac and octopi work fine with EndeavourOS. In fact, they work better because the packages are not delayed like they are in Manjaro.

Fair enough. Of course, you know that the exact same graphical installer is also available on EOS right? It is not installed by default but it is in the repos.

Backed by a hardware reseller. Likely to be around as long as they stay in business.

What did you not like about EndeavourOS?

Thank you for suggesting we not harass anyone. That is a lot better than I have seen elsewhere related to this.

Basilisk is the odd one out here. It is a continuation of pre-Servo Firefox ( Firefox before Rust ). It is not exactly a “new” engine.

Ladybird is probably the most exciting project as it is most likely to create a new independent browser suitable for daily use.

Servo was very exciting back when Mozilla was heavily invested in it. Sadly, it was long dormant. It really seems to be heating up again though so that is awesome.

Mozilla is not really associated with Servo anymore.

I would be surprised to see Firefox move to Servo.

Gecko is of course Open Source. It is also pretty much the oldest browser engine code base and written in C++. Servo is modern and Rust. Gecko started at Netscape.

The other problem is that Gecko is hard to embed.

Was it Manjaro? Just asking…

I have been using Arch and EOS a lot longer with no borks.

Been using EOS a lot longer and always flawless.

The only problem I have had is leaving a system too long and having to remember how to get the damn keyring to refresh. That is my biggest complaint.

If usability is the goal, then ReactOS is not the answer.

Maybe just the reboot? Something was probably installed that was not started yet and it was started as part of the boot process?

Many distros leave printing support out by default these days. It is just not something everybody needs anymore.

In my house, I have Linux machines that print flawlessly and reliably to our HP laser. My wife has an iMac and I swear I have to install it fresh every time she goes to print. But the absolute best printing experience? Over WiFi from an iPhone. Crazy.

Deferred sacrifice. They still need to be sacrificed. He just doesn’t know when.

Cloud of wood fibres?

They are working on a pipewire plugin for that

I have wanted to like D for so long but it has just not been able to create a cohesive story outside its own bubble. It feels like it is going nowhere. Certainly, given its ages, there is no obvious path to popularity.
