They can add all the features they want, but it won’t be usable until they fix their damn UX/UI.
After working for ~30 years with adobe software, when I switched to Linux I learned inkscape in no time. Same happened with Affinity Studio. Both are great, intuitive.
Gimp’s is just a hot mess
Isn’t Fedora kind of rolling but not really ?
But why? Just pick another arch or arch-based distro like Cachy, Endeavour or even KDE OS.
Manjaro has been a slow sinking ship for too much time, anyone wasting their time with it is equally responsible.
There are already gazillions of reports scattered around both open and closed platforms.
But you can’t easily search for them with proper filters, they are almost useless.
What we truly need is a platform that enables this. And it needs to be federated, so every willing distro can host their own but share them to those instances interested in aggregating all distros.
Fedora and Ubuntu have their own, but Distro Watch aggregates both so that anyone wanting to switch can easily compare.
No, I don’t believe it’s of any worth, as experiences will vary depending on user preferences and hardware. What would be the value of content like that?
But yeah, I was adamant about switching. I knew I would ditch Windows. I forced it down on my self to such a degree that I had to learn how to work (while working) without the tools I used for ~20 years like Adobe for example. I freaking love Inkscape and gimp is the most unintuitive piece of software on my PC.
2 years ago when I started my switch I tried ~10 distros and then did a prolonged test of about 2 months for each of the 2 distros that were the closest to being perfect out of the box and settled on Bazzite.
I wish you a happy journey and if you don’t like one flavor don’t ditch Pizza, there are many more flavors to try and one of them surely will become your favorite.

Hey Copilot, add Markdown support in Word
Sure thing Satya! There you have it, I made sure not to add any vulnerabilities like you always tell me.
Arch is not a distro for beginners. One day you’ll wreck it.
If you just want it to work, I would advise you try these and stick with the one you like the most:
All my family’s PCs run linux. We use Bazzite for gaming and Aurora for work. Easier and more reliable than Windows.
DOCX is supposedly an open standard too, the thing is neither Microsoft nor Adobe fully follow it and instead opt to make it slightly incompatible in order to make it hard for competitors to use it without issues.
EEE tactics.
Because of everything.
I can chose however I want it to be and behave. It won’t nag me, it won’t show me ads, my hardware will receive support for ages, it consumes less resources, it’s more responsive, I don’t need to update any drivers, it uses less disk space, installing apps is easier, changing settings is easier, backups are easier, zero maintenance , it’s reliable, it’s free and open source and it uses the same Kernel that the world runs and relies on.
I’m 42, since I was less than 8 years old until now I’ve used:
Linux:
That said the only thing I dislike is that my kids can’t play EA’s FC26 or Epic’s Fortnite because those companies chose to actively not support Linux on purpose. Those games are predatory gambling casinos disguised as games, but still… I wish I could have the choice to play or not play them.
But that’s a small price to pay for everything I get in return.
I’ve been running Bazzite for 2 years now. For me, it’s honestly the best computing experience I’ve ever had. I’m very happy with it and I feel joy using it every single day, I’m in love.
In theory, yes. But never fully trust your phone to do what you asked it to do.
I use it on my work laptop via an M2 caddy, this way the laptop still has the windows OEM license installed, if I plug it into a new laptop my OS and files are ready to go as well. My IT department is very happy, and me even more.
Strange, I have all of that. Maybe it’s inherited from older builds? Maybe my branch is now using the aurora-dx image?
There is no hardware matching your needs.

He should just disappear and dedicate himself to farming in a remote village.
Fluxer is a better Discord alternative than Matrix and XMPP.
That said, XMPP is more private. Matrix is worse than everything else.
If you all you have is Linux, you’ll be forced to adapt. Bite the bullet and just do it.
I’ve been using Bazzite on my 2 desktop PCs for +1.5 years, I recently installed it in a mini gaming PC for my living room TV, and I also have a Steam Deck which is basically identical to Bazzite.
I freaking love it, best computing & gaming experience I’ve ever had.
Inkscape didn’t need to copy Adobe to be intuitive.
