Historical fencer, bike packer, friend of the Fae, it's gets complicated....

Done all three, all three are good in their own way. These days, I run EndeavourOS :)

EndeavourOS is basically Arch with an easy installer and nicely set up for a "daily driver" PC. They also have a generally friendly and helpful community. It's not like Manjaro at all; more command-line centric (but you can install gui tools if you must).

Don't you almost wish you had a Truth Social account right now? I bet you could make S'Mores off the seething, flaming, butt-hurt coming off his feed right now ;)

Yea....it'll probably be something like this that gives me away....

I've been trying running a VPN on my phone as a matter of course lately (Proton). I'm assuming it not only keeps your ISP from knowing where you're going but, more importantly, advertisers and trackers as well.

....or do I have that last bit wrong?

The particular GRUB issue (on UEFI systems) it's referring to hit EndeavourOS as well. It's actually what nudged me into just going with systemdboot. Also, to be fair, with Arch, it's a good habit to check the update notes on the website prior to updating.

I've been with EndeavourOS for longer than that.....I WAS THERE MAN!.....I WAS THERE! . (also GRUB Customizer sucks.....IYKYK) . I would eventually get GRUB working again but, it was not the same. I went to systemdboot.

If you've got an old PC, you might still need it.

Been Alpha, and now Closed Beta testing an new MMO, Palia. (https://www.palia.com/). It's a "casual" MMO more around crafting and community building than the typical "Murder Hobo" dynamic. If it sounds interesting, check it out. If you do sign up, use my link (below) because I can get some cool in-game stuff if you do and you'll get an in-game fruit basket when it goes open Beta.

I've used both. Manjaro, in their attempt to be "user friendly", winds up disconnecting you from what makes Arch good. EndeavorOS, on the other hand, is basically Arch nicely set up for a "daily driver" PC along with some nice tools of their own you can use or not at your discretion. I've also used just plain Arch and I actually prefer EndeavourOS of the three.

I generally tell people on Manjaro to stay off the AUR. If it's not in their "curated" repository, then just go with the flatpak.

That Plasma is not letting you move to a new tty is "interesting"....bad KDE!.....no cookie for you!

jkmooney,

Not super familiar with Plasma but, I'd suspect that has to be the case. Weird they can't get a new terminal open. At least it's Arch though....arch-chroot to the rescue ;)

In the aviation world, an experimental aircraft may not be used for "compensation or hire". The only exception is that a kitplane manufacturer is allowed to give demo flights.

United States Federal Aviation Administration, I believe EASA is similar.

The CEO was very careful to skirt applicable regulatory laws. He even called his passengers "crew members". In the aviation world, I have some experience harmonizing multiple regulatory authorities. Because of "international waters", there will need to be some agreement and harmonizing of regulations. There's already SOLAS so, I think it can be done.

Those are the two I'm most familiar with in my profession, at least as far as civilian authorities are concerned. Can't really say "no" and, I'm pretty sure neither can you. On the other hand, feel free to prove me wrong with a counter example. :)

I don't know about the others, but Coast Guard gets paid regardless. These events justify their budget. It wasn't an "extra cost" to the taxpayers.

I don't know, I'm an aircraft structural engineer and, based upon what technical commentary I did hear him make, it kinda sounds to me like he knows what he's talking about.

I work in aviation regulatory law but, a friend of mine does work in this arena. I did ask him if my analog existed in the nautical world and he was able to walk me through how he'd managed to avoid any regulatory oversight. There's SOLAS but, other than that, it's a gap that apparently needs to be closed.

I thought that was the Heterosexual Pride Flag? You know, blue for a man, pink for a woman, and white for the purity of God's love between them.
