Well, as you noticed a lot has changed since Debian in the 90s. While Manjaro has a lot of problems, and while I’ve found I need to reinstall it every 6 months or so because I’m not very l33t, it’s still honestly very easy and very straightforward, and definitely better than Arch if you don’t know what you’re doing.
If you approach Manjaro with a plan for regularly backing up your data, you can reinstall it with ease whenever you need to, and the reinstallation will be fast and easy. It works out of the box with Steam, and it doesn’t ask you to pay close attention to it’s backend while not having the problems you noticed with Ubuntu, and best of all it’s free and it’s not Windows. I run Manjaro and I’m pretty happy with it overall, when though I’m sure I’d be better served with Arch if I ever took the time to really figure it out properly. Good luck, I hope whatever you pick works out well for you.
I went to college with this guy 10 years ago and I considered him a friend up until this year. Something changed in him, and he constantly needs to put me down and I don’t know how to handle it....
Frankly? This sort of response above is unhinged. If this person is as awful as you say, just get them out of your life and move on. Trying to document everything, calling their friends and family, spending this much time on someone who is awful and not worth the time nor the effort? You’re going to drive yourself crazy and somehow they’re still going to be in your life making you miserable.
I’m sorry this person is terrible to you, but the best “vengeance” is forgetting all about them and being happy doing what you want to do. The more space they take up in your mind, the worse you’re going to feel about the whole situation.
Only if they politick like humans do. Perhaps elves don’t think politics makes any sort of sense and instead defer to ancient kingships á la Tolkien. No elf is creating intrigue around Galadriel or Elrond, they are just as they are, and are revered for their ancient wisdom.
Or perhaps the idea of hierarchy itself is completely alien to them. After a few thousand years a lot of the trappings of mortal power may just not be of any interest anymore, and every elf is a sovereign unto themselves.
I work in a law firm and I would second this assertion. Lawyers are some of the smartest people I know, but many of the lawyers I know also have very little clue of what the difference here would be, and I don’t think any of them could describe what a browser cookie is. 80% of the general public not knowing either would not be surprising to me.
Pretty sure it’s a Minecraft reference for when the Aether mod stopped working and the water that used to make up the portal just flowed out like broken dreams…

By and large, I would say this is not true. Ask any random folks who Pinochet and the Chicago Boys were, or ask about MKULTRA or COINTELPRO, or Operation Cóndor, and the best you’re likely to get is a blank stare.
I think a most of the more terrible things the US has done is known by highly educated folks who were given the opportunities to learn them on specialized education tracks, but not by most folks on average, which really sucks =/
