Good on them for explaining. But at that price, why even propose the option? That's a 40% price increase just to get your keyboard layout where it's free everywhere else.
I was talking about the old-fashion one. It's really common across France even though modern housing have heat pumps. Oil furnaces have almost completely disappeared and the gas one are in the process of being replaced as well. Electricity is cheaper here than in most countries (thanks to nuclear power plants).
Most distributions are fine honestly. Ubuntu is clearly not my thing. Not a fan of Redhat-based distribution either. I wanted to appreciate OpenSuse as they've been supporters of KDE for a long time but wasn't comfortable with Yast.
Apart from that, Manjaro is awesome, Arch amazing, Debian brilliant, etc.
Exactly I really don't get the argument there. Manjaro's handling of kernel selection is brilliant. Multiple LTS kernels, a recommended one, bleeding hedge and experimental ones. There's something for everyone and it's super easy to use.
Did someone really manage to convince you that Fedora would be more stable than Manjaro?
For the record, I've been using Manjaro for 3 years without any reinstall on my main laptop and I still haven't witnessed any stability issue. My experience with Fedora has not been similar at all...
6.1.0-17 is the one I received today. I was on 6.1.0-16 until now.
