Wow, fascinating to see I am one of the Few Debian users. It works great on the distribution, even better than what I had heard about other platforms.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Do you run Steam from Debian repos or Flatpak?
I go from the repos myself.
Arch is the most "just works" distro I ever tried.
Reducing the workload of the distro maintainers by keeping packages vanilla and close to upstream, not writing a shitload of distro-specific GUI tools, and off-loading all the weird stuff to a user repo, is genius.
That way, there's more capacity to focus on getting it right.
Other distros have a lot more "features" (looking at you, OpenSUSE and Ubuntu) but Arch just gives you a high quality package of the newest stuff, and it's amazing how solid it is nowadays.
Sooo... The author mentions that Manjaro fucked up, but I'm not sure what they're referring to...?
I mean, like... To which Manjaro fuckup are they referring?
https://manjarno.pages.dev/ Manjaro's Pamac took AUR down twice, also their website had its SSL certs expire 4 times

Obviously, I'm not the author. But if I'd have to guess, their answer would likely be "Yes.".
It crushes me, CRUSHES ME, that the wretched Fedora beats my beloved openSUSE Tumbleweed in popularity! Why, oh why!??!
Seriously though, why do people prefer Fedora? I used it for 2 years and was very, very happy after switching my daily driver to Tumbleweed. It felt faster, had better repos, defaults, stability, etc. — aaaaaand it's rolling release, which is so much easier (ironically) from a stability perspective (every, EVERY, Fedora release something would break for me, gosh-darn-it). I just don't get it; am I the only one experiencing this?
My 2 cents. I started with Bazzite and switched to Fedora after some things broke. Fedora works for my use case and I don't see any reason to switch further. Even upgrading from 40 to 41 worked without hickups.
I'm surprised bazzite broke
