    @kaixin it was just a test, so using Manjaro was a way of checking how it is doing now. I've used Manjaro for years, more or less 10 years ago. As long as you kept updating quite regularly, it was fine. Sometimes I convince people to migrate from Windows to a Linux distribution. I cannot install Arch to my father in law - so I installed openSUSE.The point is: on my pc, I can install anything - it's not a problem - but when dealing with common people, it's better to choose one of those "ready to use" solutions.

    @stefano @christopher I am not sure if I'd say #Linux is becoming like #Windows. I do recall similar statements made on the Debian-User mailing list on a previous release when xorg introduced autoconfiguration. A lot of people were pissed that it was making choices for you instead of manually configuring the xorg.conf file.Honestly, that was a good thing. Painful doesn't begin to describe it but users were unaware they could still hand-configure the file.There has been, however, more stuff added to Linux over the last several years. Call it bloat, call it whatever you want. OSes change. But it has been gradually moving away from simplicity.I miss the simplicity.However, to reply to your original post, coming from COTS solutions, sometimes the vast amount of choice can be overwhelming. For instance, when it comes to #FreeBSD #jails it used to just be jails. Now, it's thin, thick, classic, networking. I understand they have their places but it would be helpful to provide more detailed explanations, tutorials, or best practices for each. The FreeBSD Handbook is good but just scratches the surface but often leaves more questions. It would help with learning and in part...marketing.On a side note: The FreeBSD Handbook is a great resource but there are opportunities to improve it, like tailoring it to new users (better empathy), best practices, architectural examples, and links to additional resources and info.

    @bonkers @Rasp I actually saw recently a related post here on the Fedi from someone who did exactly that and was complaining that it seemed to be the only way to disable the onboard BT.

    Okay #Linux folks, I need your help. I’m currently running #CachyOS with #GNOME and #Wayland and it’s mostly great…except it doesn’t recognize my F14 and F15 keys on my keyboard. I’ve spent two days trying to figure out the problem. I’ve got a first gen GMMK Pro with custom QMK firmware so I know the keys are mapped. I’m not opposed to moving to a different distro for DE but since I use this rig for gaming I’d like something that can handle Steam and Nvidia graphics without exploding. #LinuxHelp
