In working through the installation I was the least disappointed I've ever been with an OS. The result was something I truly liked. If I nail down every single problem it could be my all time favourite machine.

I live in my headphones. If anyone chatty is around I put headphones on as an indicator of concentration. (Not that it works)
Arch is great, but it needs longer explanations considering the user needs to do a lot more. Sometimes you find them, but other times you find a snarky superuser with zero people skills.
It's a shame they aren't government standard, so I could take a local course to become a snarky superuser too.
Most of it involves everyday Linux usages, but some of it is specific to Arch and it breaks so hard. It's not a great thing when you're stupid busy and don't have the headroom to get to the bottom of it. Sometimes all you get is vague theories on how a fix might occur. After that you're playing shell games trying to debug your problems.
Definitely recommend for pro-Linux people that have a breakable laptop that can go on the backburner.
I paid for Lynda.com, and it could have easily taken in more business if YouTube wasn't working so hard for Google ads. There are a lot of paid (and free) services that suffer because of YouTubes ad-money business model.
Netflix could use the extra business. There are plenty of services failing to thrive while YouTube exists. Peertube would be wide open if YouTube went the way of most of Google's stable of apps. PeerTube is wide open even if YouTube doesn't go away anyway.
People genuinely hate ads. It's a high degree of enshitification. YouTube could divide into paid content and free content in a simple Freemium model.
Or, add third tier with ads, which any user can opt out of in the same way contributers can. I'd be happy to click subscribe on an ad free experience with less content available to me.
Or, add an option for a couple of free tier items per month, week, or day. Like Medium's business model.
It's not hard to stop sucking!
Putting people on autopilot. The MS way!
This looks interesting, thanks!
He wanted that job!
You're expending resources for greater intelligence with diminishing returns. At some point you're killing yourself, so hopefully you'll acquire enough intelligence to end the button cycle.
It's a new management objective.
The more of us that take the hit the fewer people just going along.
I caught a trespasser the other day that said it wasn't him. Totally believed him too /s
A local hero was saving women from Windows by installing fresh Linux distros on their dated machines. I wanted this superpower.
