    Controversial opinion: you become a senior, when you let arch behind and use distros like debian.

    I don’t dislike arch, going step by step through the install process is the best way learning and no matter which distro someone use, the arch wiki should be the first place to visit for instructions or help.

        It is, if your priorities are to tinker even more with your computer. (nix configs, etc.) :)

        Using non-tech analogy, it is like having a “project car” to tinker with and a “daily driver” to get to and from work, if you are a car enthusiast.

          Yes, but for example I find the steam deck actually buggier than NixOS

          Just look at all the posts about the “discover” app crashing

            But isn’t that behavior actually documented in the Arch wiki? At least when you manually install it, it lists packagekit-qt6 as being “not recommended”.

              As far as I can tell, I’m just using it to install flatpaks so it should work fine
