I saw lf and nnn mentioned elsewhere and gave them a try, but they just didn't cut it compared to ranger.

Meaning that as long as you're regularly committing your work to Github/Gitlab/wherever, you don't need to backup your source directory.

Unless you plan on using that laptop daily, I’d say to not put Arch on it.

Ha, you're right. I did end up installing it on my 13" laptop, and after a few minutes without issues decided to #yolo it onto my main machine and blow away my Ubuntu install. Loving it so far, and yeah the frequency of AUR updates is impressive.

This. Having to open a console to run a flatpak in bspwm is annoying as all hell. PWA's are just as bad, I ended up writing a script I could run from dmenu:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

PWA_PATH=${HOME}/.local/share/applications

for app in $@
do
  DESKTOP=$(grep -i "Name=.*${app}" -lm 1 ${PWA_PATH}/*.desktop)
  if [ ! -z ${DESKTOP} ]
  then
    APPID=$(basename ${DESKTOP} | cut -d- -f2)
    /usr/bin/google-chrome --profile-directory=Default --app-id=${APPID} &
  fi
done

I don't really have a need to use a laptop at all, however it's getting janky on my main machine when I want to try something new and break a ton of stuff, then I'm up until 4am fixing it using w3m from a terminal before work the next day.

It's more of a sandbox.

Honestly, I don't care too much about the underlying distro at this point. I switched from Gnome to bspwm last night with polybar and it's like a whole new world that satisfies the itch I haven't felt back since the early Enlightenment days.

How is EndeavourOS? My main desktop is running Ubuntu (I stuck with it as I'm quite familiar with the debian package managers), but I have a laptop I'm looking to fart around in once my Pi arrives and I can move PiHole to it.

I was thinking Arch, but I'm open to giving EOS a try.

Imagine you ssh into a server to do a database import, and from previous experience you know it will take about 3 hours. You start the restore, then get up to make dinner. You come back an hour later and realize you forgot to plug your laptop in.

Is the import command still running? Who knows.

With tmux you just charge your laptop, ssh in again, and reconnect to the virtual term that was running the command to check.

But what did you like about Manjaro compared to other distributions? If I introduce someone who's never used the internet before to Internet Explorer 6, they might claim to like it very much as well.
