    Sure… let’s keep hallucinating how a Trump win is some isolated result and how other countries will cope with it.

    They won’t. They will follow the same route.

    The exact same propaganda that fried US citizen’s brains is working everywhere and it’s completely irrelevant if the current German government is united for another year or disbands in 5 minutes. The next election will see the same kind of right-wing lying populist morons, just in a slightly different flavor, win in Germany (it’s no coincidence they spend the last years in communication with MAGA idiots for pointers how to campaign).

    They don’t hate them. They just want to cut all support for citizens to have more money available to finance more tax cuts for rich people.

    But to do this you need to somehow convince the masses that money spend on them is a bad thing. For decades trickle-down fairy tales of how spending money on the already rich ones will help the economy and then be beneficial for all worked. But not anymore. So the next phase in desinforming gullible voters is much more dystopian and involves straight out brain-washing to decouple them from reality and make them believe that people actually helping them are evil and need to be fought.

    With nuclear, you’ve got a raging anti-nuclear crowd.

    No. With nuclear you have very real unmitigatable risks and very real insanely high costs. Which also don’t solve anything as nuclear production isn’t fitting demand fluctuations either, so you still need mass storage (or waste overproduction 90% of the time, combined with already insane costs).

    The raging crowd is the pro-nuclear cult on social media that ignores reality and sputters sci-fi fairy tales all day long in the name of their savior.

    Linux is Linux.

    We should send all those people, pages and guides suggesting distros to hell.

    And then instead we suggest update-schemes (fixed, rolling, slow-roll), package managers and Desktop environments. People with enough brain cells to start a computer are then absolutely able to chose a distro fitting them based on that. Everything else coming with a distro is just themeing/branding anyway…

    (and just for the use statistic: Archlinux, Opensuse (Leap and Kalpa), Debian here…)

    I’ve been using Arch and Manjaro for couple years each and in my experience they both break regularly. But, for some weird reason, Arch Linux is praised, when Manjaro is shamed upon.

    No, there is not some weird reason but actual very good ones.

    Things can break on a bleeding edge update scheme. That’s to be expected from time to time. But the questions are “why did it break” and “what is done to fix it”.

    If something breaks on Archlinux it’s because of some new package with a issue that escaped testing. Then the fix come out as fast as possible (often within minutes even, but let’s assume hours as those things need to move through mirrors first…).

    If something breaks on Manjaro it’s either because of the exact same reason as above, but 2 weeks later. Because Manjaro keeps back updates for two weeks “for stability reasons”, yet doesn’t do anything in those 2 weeks. So they just add the same problem later, completely defeating the argumant about stability. Oh, and fixes are of course kept back for 2 weeks, too, because… reasons.

    Or it breaks because they fucked up their internal QA. For example by letting their certificates expire again and again and again and again… of by screwing up their very own pacman-wrapper and then ddos’ing the AUR for all users, not only Manjaro ones.

    Or -speaking about the AUR- it breaks because they give their users full access to the Arch User Repository (without any warnings about user content being less reliable and used at your own risk) pre-installed. Also they do it on a system generally out-of-date because it lags 2 weeks behind. Which is not what AUR packages are build for (they assume up-to-date systems) and is a straight path to dependency hell and breakings… not because something went wrong but because the whole concept of an out-of-date system not running their own also 2-weeks behind version onf the AUR is idiotic. On the “plus” side they have an easy fix: blame the user, because he should obviously know that an pre-installed part of Manjaro is conceptionally flawed and shouldn’t be trusted.
