Oh, more meetings will fix it! /s

There are many ways to run code at startup. cronjobs and systemd are common ways to handle this. I have also had things start automatically with my desktop environment which comes later in the boot process.

You may be accustomed to the process, but fixing issues in the registry is not intuitive. It is simple enough if you find a guide that tells you exactly which item you need to work on and exactly what the default is and what you need to change it to, but what if the guide isn’t exactly what you want?

In the GNU/Linux ecosystem, nearly every program has a config file. Sometimes each line has detailed comments in plain text around it you what the option does with examples of what it could be. If the documentation doesn’t exist, you can dig deeper and see what that option does in the source which is usually documented as well. Programming experience is not required to search for text and read comments. Such documentation is not equivalent in Windows.

The ability to edit titles seems like an obvious feature that Reddit never added.

This is the first top-level comment that hints at the main criticism against systemd. systemd is increasingly difficult to replace as time goes on. I like and use systemd because it has a fast boot, but I wish the project was developed in a more modular way that had choice built-in. It is instead developed as the way that everyone should systemd instead of alternatives. This philosophy gets in the way of distributions that want to provide alternatives (Devuan, Gentoo, Parabola, etc.). Some of the sysadmins I work with closely use Devuan and follow development. I hear the patch set around bypassing systemd grows in size and complexity each year which is worrisome for choice.

The Whisper Inference Server (open source release soon) :/ I’ll check back later.

Manjaro had a rough history of not taking security seriously. I hope they have improved, but the impression stuck.

They have done a few things right by making Arch more approachable when Arch was more of a RTFM type distribution. Now Arch is easier and even ships with an installer, but Manjaro’s installer is easy.

The end result is still that the user still needs to manage an Arch distro. I would recommend learning the Arch way from Arch instead of taking the easy road.

If you want an easy distro, rolling releases, and up-to-date packages, I would recommend Debian Did over Manjaro. If you want Arch, use Arch.

• JShelter actively fights fingerprinting.
• NoScript blocks by domain by default.
• uBlock Origin with cookie list to block ads, trackers, and hide cookie banners.
• DarkReader to help the eyes.
• Stylus to fix any CSS not fixed by the rest.

GrapheneOS on a Pixel 5. It is very nice and I would recommend it.

Jerboa could use a hide post option from RedReader.

Antimine on F-Droid is good for a mobile fix.

argos-translate for offline machine language translation.

tmux & neovim for editing files and organizing the terminal displays.

asciinema for recording and playing back terminal sessions.

I’d never heard of KISS Linux. Sounds like Gentoo, but a one developer project.

It must track only the ones that are private. It doesn’t show Explain Like I’m Five as green. They said they would leave a stickied post that is informative about the protest and block all new submissions.
