October 2024. I cannot wait for that to happen!

Sure. One of those cons is that you have more packaging problems when you interact with non-Manjaro repos—like the AUR.

Nope. Both pamac and octopi work fine with EndeavourOS. In fact, they work better because the packages are not delayed like they are in Manjaro.

Fair enough. Of course, you know that the exact same graphical installer is also available on EOS right? It is not installed by default but it is in the repos.

Backed by a hardware reseller. Likely to be around as long as they stay in business.

What did you not like about EndeavourOS?

It is still about $2 billion at today’s price.

Good luck getting any of that for the campaign though. A billion of that goes to him. The rest goes to lawsuits.

The downvotes make me chuckle. You know, I actually did not really think about how much Apple hardware I had until I listed it off. The Apple fans and I obviously agree on some stuff ( just not the OS so much I guess ).

I do have an iPhone 15 though ( running iOS ). I am not very likely to put Android or Linux on it anytime soon.

Except Macs that go out of support do turn into pumpkins. Because software will start to refuse to run on it because the OS is too old. That is how I define unusable.

OpenCore Legacy patcher is awesome but it is not without issue.

I guess some people think that unsupported operating systems causing GPU glitches or being stuck in ancient application versions is a better experience. Not me. I am very happy to put Linux on a Mac, get better performance, and enjoy totally up-to-date applications. If I really need to, I could always run one or two macOS or Windows applications in a VM. I am not sure what those would be though.

I am about to inherit another iMac from my wife. I put OpenCore Legacy Patcher on it to extend the life and she has hated it ever since I did that ( I put Sonoma on it ).

I am going to downgrade her to Monterey ( a massive pain since macOS does not support downgrades ). If she still does not like it, I will have a 27” iMac running Linux. Even if she likes it, it won’t be long before Office or Teams or something won’t run on the OS anymore. So, it will be Linux eventually.

I have Linux installed on an iMac, a MacBook Air, a MacBook Pro, and a Mac Pro ( Proxmox ).

It does not sound like we would agree.

Thank you for suggesting we not harass anyone. That is a lot better than I have seen elsewhere related to this.

Basilisk is the odd one out here. It is a continuation of pre-Servo Firefox ( Firefox before Rust ). It is not exactly a “new” engine.

Ladybird is probably the most exciting project as it is most likely to create a new independent browser suitable for daily use.

Servo was very exciting back when Mozilla was heavily invested in it. Sadly, it was long dormant. It really seems to be heating up again though so that is awesome.

Mozilla is not really associated with Servo anymore.

I would be surprised to see Firefox move to Servo.

Gecko is of course Open Source. It is also pretty much the oldest browser engine code base and written in C++. Servo is modern and Rust. Gecko started at Netscape.

The other problem is that Gecko is hard to embed.

Triumph of visual design over interactive design. These days, most “designers” only care about graphics visually. The much deeper science of how people use and understand things is beyond them. Worse, they think the problem is that everybody else does not “get” visual design.

Style over substance.

Did they tell you it is the same for cows in Japan?

Was it Manjaro? Just asking…

I have been using Arch and EOS a lot longer with no borks.

Been using EOS a lot longer and always flawless.

The only problem I have had is leaving a system too long and having to remember how to get the damn keyring to refresh. That is my biggest complaint.
