I have heard things previously about Manjaro that make me want to avoid it.

OTOH, as an Arch user, some of the things I feel could use improvement are better with Manjaro. Pretty much every Arch derivative does something about the major pain points of Arch, though, slapping on a installation gui (though, honestly, just advertising the archinstall CLI script that's on the install usb stick and fixing it up a bit would help Arch), and giving you an AUR helper by default.

I recently tried the XFCE version of Endeavor in a vm, and I quite like it, so if I move from Arch, I'm more inclined to go that direction.

Personally, what I'd say to do is make the install live usb boot to an actual desktop environment, with an icon for running a normal graphical setup to install it... but also icons for a terminal, gparted, and the install docs, so you can do it via a command prompt if you want, though with the ability to see the docs while typing, copy and paste, use a gui to partition your drive, and such...

We're all pretty new, I'd say. I came over within the last few days, too, but even beyond that, kbin is in prealpha, and has only been public for around a month or so, from what I've heard. That's one reason I'll go a little easier on some of the jankyness...

Well, they do have a poll up for whether to continue the protest indefinitely or not, so I'd say to vote in that!

Wonder if they could do No Blackout Thursdays?

Could work. I'll admit, every time I read something by reddit's CEO, I feel less like using reddit. He seems to be his own negative pr...

I personally look at it a little differently.

On another site, I'm an admin on dozens of groups, and a large part of this is because I see having too many admins/mods as less of a problem then not having any. What I actually do is watch to see if the various groups have active mods, and recruit more if needed. There have been several times that it's come down to me being the only active admin, and I recruited several others, and I've been in groups where there were no active admins at all before.

Being an admin or mod for multiple groups doesn't necessarily make you power hungry, and having more groups not have mods and be havens for trolls and spammers rather then less strikes me as a bad idea...

(kbin decided I was no longer logged in when I previously tried to comment on this thread, so hopefully a second post doesn't show up...)

Still learning my way around kbin, and I can already see showing off pictures isn't going to be its strong suit...

I figure we'll worry about actually having pictures before not having them on certain days. :P

It's a picture I've always liked, and I like cute batponies!

Looks like it'd help if I actually did the markup right. :P

Edited it.
