Now it just needs an NACS connector...

Linux can be a hobby, not just a tool. If you want to have fun with a new hobby, distro hopping will have plenty to keep you busy. But if you just want something to run your computer and your current distro does it for you just fine, then you're not missing out on anything but a headache.
It's funny, I'm in an opposite situation. I don't want to distro hop, but my current one has some issues that I'm getting a little fed up with (issues that are a result of my hardware and use case) so I am working up to swapping distros to find something with fewer issues. For me, I just want my OS to be transparent. I don't want a hobby. That's why it took me so long to swap to linux in the first place.
Anyways, IMHO, unless you're really into the idea of playing with your OS as a hobby, don't let FOMO trick you into making the mistake of throwing out what works in the hopes of greener grass.
I swapped last summer and landed on Pop!_OS after trying a few different options. If you game, Nobara is a great choice too. Other ones I considered were Mint, Ubuntu and SUSE Tumbleweed.
I would highly recommend trying them all with the live disk thingy. Mint didn't even work at all on my computer for some unknown reason, which was rather surprising considering how often it's recommended. It kept freezing right when the GUI logged in. So yeah, try em out for a little bit just to make sure there aren't any weird incompatibilities.
OP, 5 minutes of research on Manjaro will give you a very different impression of how easy or reliable it is.
Yeah I was pretty disappointed when I realized that. Oh well.
and for me being forced in to one pedal driving was not ideal.
I don't know anyone with an EV who hasn't eventually moved to one pedal driving. It's one of those things that you think feels weird at first but once you try it for a few days you never want to go back.
Make the ER pro for 50k and you could sell them all day. But you can’t even order that option, much less get it for that price.
This is the obvious issue. They marked the base model up by $12k before it ever came out and then didn't make any. I would have one right now if I could get one for $40k like they said originally and I don't even like trucks!
He had also asked me about what I did for work and when I mentioned some of the stuff I did, he made a condescending remark to me too.
Lol, car salesman making condescending remarks on someone else's job! That's the funniest shit I've read all day!
My Model X was in the shop for ELEVEN MONTHS because Tesla decided it's more important to sell new cars than to use those parts for repairs. And it wasn't anything weird like parts for the gull wing doors, it was suspension parts.
You should REALLY look into that shit before buying another Tesla. I love that car, but no way am I buying another Tesla until they get their supply chain shit together.
Also, don't forget that starting next year pretty much every EV will be using Tesla's NACS connector and charging network going forward. That's no longer a reason to buy Tesla.
People like to hate on Tesla around here, but they were at least fighting the good fight against dealers. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason still counts.
No I don't mind them. I am a linux noob myself and these kinds of posts are what helped me decide to switch.
While we're complaining, you know what I don't like? Completely incomprehensible posts about some super specific subsystem. "fdplq updated to 0.5.pi.007.69!" Wow, that will change my life the next time I boot up my computer to read some Lemmy and play a game for an hour or two.
But they are all part of the linux community. I'm not gonna say the way I use linux is any better or worse than anyone else.
And fortunately, nobody is forcing us to click on those posts we don't care about.
Xbox cloud requires a controller, which kinda defeats the purpose of playing on PC imho.
That said, it DOES work well if you're into that kinda thing. I tested it out with MS Edge installed via flatpak.
In case we needed another reason to hate dealers...
