I could say inability to edit a config file is worth reevaluating of what is a failed piece of garbage here... But it won't be fair. If you don't want to deal with configs, go ahead and use chromeos or something :P
Jokes aside, pop-os is great ootb.

I Arched for like 4 years or so, and now I NixOS. Got somewhat tired of modifying configs in 100500 places and eventually forgetting what exactly I've changed 😅
Nevertheless, I still think arch is great, and, as a side note, it does provide a good understanding of Linux on the upper-low level (not like LFS or even gentoo, but still very much viable).
I've personally encountered mentioned behavior with kde on both arch and kde neon, so I'm inclined to think it's their f-up. As for sd-boot, I'm not sure: I've used it on arch for a short while only, and then just ditched bootloaders altogether for efistub
There are binary versions of heavy stuff at least. Although, yeah, it kinda becomes tedious once you get into more or less obscure options... Mine was compiling everything with musl (for some reason)
Basically, most of the points there fall into some of 3 categories:
- Your hardware is crap:
- WiFi not working;
- Nvidia failed;
- You ability to read/follow simple instructions is crap:
- WiFi not working;
- Messed up installation;
- Nvidia failed;
- No answer in the wiki;
- Lies/outdated:
- Updater broke system;
- Troubleshoot everything;
- No answer in the wiki;
Why declare a war over it? Just sudo sed -i 's/%wheel/$(whoami)/' /etc/sudoers or smth like that
Technically, you can try, but I doubt it'll work ootb even if the connectors are the same. It would be kinda easier to use smth like an arduino/rp2040 board and connect it to one if thr unpopulated USBs on the board (check if there's a schematic available, they often leave stuff like ribbon cable connectors for, day, a smort card reader, which is basically USB but 3v3 power)
Hm, looks somewhat less painful to type. Otherwise, needs further investigation; tnx!
- Word? Markdown/((Xe)La)TeX!
- PowerPoint? Beamer!
- Excel? Well, fuck this; any proper programming language does the job waaaaay better;
- Whatever their crappy attempt at db-s was called? Literally any non-crappy dbms.
Did they have any? I kinda skipped most of the news abt them since Hugh Jeffreys' vid featuring their phones.
Huh, so that's why Hurd doesn't work? They just expected it to run on some alien tech?
