endOS is like manjaro based on Arch. they feel closely related, hence the recommendation. i probably wouldn’t install it because i don’t want to deal with Arch’s quick update cycle, but that’s just my personal preference and no statement about the quality of arch and its derivatives.

ive had and heard of many bad experiences with manjaro, though they do a couple of cool things. i really wish you all the best on your manjaro endeavours, but would recommend (not from experience but rather what i have gathered) to use endeavourOS over manjaro. also that would fit your name nicely

god at first i saw only the first line cuz the second was cut off. the relief i felt upon scrolling XD

i‘m glad you learned about how to switch tty! now this is a very rare situation, but if you log into your computer, then switch to some tty, log in there too, do things, lock it, and leave the computer, the other tty is still unlocked because you need to lock both the tty you logged into.i know this is a super rare/ hypothetical situation, but i think you should know.

i‘m hyped for a graphene desktop mode. that wouldn’t be a replacement for my laptop/ desktop computers but still very much sick. and if i can run a terminal with neovim and tmux or ssh into other machines it would be a dope backup/ micro setup. probably not very useful, but fun i think

i’ve had the same situation with university students

yeah i also think that if people get their things to run, they probably learned something in the process

i looked into this recently, and whilst you can use yuzu, i would recommend sudachi. suyu is probably fine too. citron is evil, do not use. just recently all the good devs that were annoyed by the shit that happened (devs being pain in the ass, leading to posts about citron drama) decided to team up and announced a new emulator: Eden. now we gotta wait and see and i’m very hyped for it. till then i’ll keep using sudachi :D

having used a variety of distros, i can recommend linux mint. ubuntu used to put a lot of effort into keeping debian based distros very modern before it fell off and became something i really don’t like, and now mint has taken its place. mint takes from ubuntu what is an improvement/ modernisation over debian and strips out all the crap. mint therefore is a major, if not the driving, force that maintains modern snaps (with debian maintaining very very stable ones)

so, mint is cool :D

i very much agree for graphical programs, though i feel like cli tools should partially be an exception. i don’t really want my tmux to be a flatpak i think 😅

this! and whilst i don’t know the hardware support for new framework models on mint, i recon it’s pretty good.

honestly, most of the games i wanna play are totally fine and might run even better on linux. what is something to keep in mind is anti linux anti cheat: https://areweanticheatyet.com/ besides, you can check https://www.protondb.com/ to get a rough overview of what you can play. out of all the games i’m playing only one isn’t working rn, cuz the screen ratio is messed up (it’s a small rather unknown game) but really many games are fine. i use steam and heroic games launcher, and they’re great. f nvidia tho. they can be a true pain in the butt (on windows too though…)

at first i thought your suggestion was to feed the machine racist cops to find them and got all hyped ):

i‘m not writing this from the perspective of a parent, but a 23yo Gen Z who’s had parents which didn’t know what to regulate.

in some places my parents regulated „very intensely“. oftentimes they did so quite suddenly and without much communication/ explanation.

then again there were times and places where the lack of regulation allowed me to spend hours and hours each day, doom scrolling on instagram.

i spent years contemplating the situations and what would’ve been good.

your child’s mental health is the main key. in my experience the lack of self regulation is a coping mechanism. i was doing horribly and my parents solution wasn’t to help me, but to play whack a mole with symptoms by regulating. don’t get me wrong tho, it’s not just me, ive seen this a bunch of times with other ppl too. -> the better your kids mental health, the less there will be a need to regulate. if they do struggle, help them by working with them, not against them. look for solutions with them. don’t just set regulations, discuss what to do WITH THEM. let them set targets and what to do if they aren’t met with you. there will be lots of resentment and cheating around restrictions if you don’t work with them. everyone i know who’s been forced into find my or live360 has used a variety of techniques to spoof their location. not to mention that all of them at least kinda hate their parents for it.

so:

if you want regulations to work, they need to be voluntary.
ensure good mental health to prevent media abuse as coping mechanism.

they say that strict parents raise liars, and i’ve seen that proven many times.

im currently baking this into our hpc. people gotta see the train!
