Hitman 2 would also work as a stronger booster for those stumbling on your stream, never even heard of Linux but battling with Windos 10 :thinkhappy:

Say, an issue breaks your system because of some rare graphics card, and Arch fixes it in an hour or two.

If you got the immediate update, your system is already broken, and you either have to fix it the hard way, using another device to DuckDuckGo documentation, help, or "nuke and pave" ...

Manjaro being Arch based but much more newcomer friendly is a huge deal. Installation, default applications etc. Putting up proprietary drivers is a breeze.

Manjaro also holds back packages for some time for added stability; on Manjaro, against pretty common opinion, it's not a bad thing to "hold back" some.

By holding back releases a bit, any immediate issues like a typo that prevents the DE from working are avoided.

@rhode @ChrisWere

Said it before... Manjaro truly stopped own personal distrohopping.

It balances freshness / stability like no other distro. Solus is fine too but the number of packages is the issue there. AUR is often like a promised land (with a danger of a snake) :thinkhappy:

@an3223 I've had success stories also with Bodhi Linux and MX on very old computers.

Linux for unmatched stability: Debian 10 "Buster" released!

Debian is what both Ubuntu (so also Mint, elementary OS, KDE neon and many more) and SteamOS base themselves upon, so the work that goes into Debian affects a great many other distributions.

Debian 10 comes with following desktop choices:

* Cinnamon 3.8
* GNOME 3.30
* KDE Plasma 5.14
* LXDE 0.99.2
* LXQt 0.14
* MATE 1.20
* Xfce 4.12

Jewels from SouthEast LinuxFest 2019 part 1: Noah Chelliah - Why We Need Linux on The Desktop.

MacOS has come along way, Windows 10 is (marginally) better than previous version, is there still hope for Linux on the desktop?

Right now is a golden opportunity for Linux to succeed in a space where everyone else is focusing on mobile or cloud.

LineageOS, Ubuntu Touch, SailfishOS....

Switched To Linux: Dissenter Web Browser (a new open browser for free speech).

Gab released a fork of the Brave browser to integrate their free speech plugin. Today he has a quick look at this new "freedom browser".

Dissenter has the most popular Linux distributions covered & it is in the AUR for Arch and Arch-based distros such as Manjaro Linux.

@Akzel Well, they are in it for profit also; there is a "Ultimate" edition which is not free.

Go figure. I would love to just support them via merch / Patreon rather than this type of model...

@DashEquals

Why do they want to block Ublock Origin?
