No. Both CUPS and Netflix work perfectly fine for me on Arch.

You're probably confusing it with Alpine.

Despite the memes, Arch isn't that hard to install nowadays. The Wiki is stellar and archinstall is a thing (as well as EndeavourOS).

But Debian testing is a fine choice as well, of course.

It's based on Firefox, but those modifications do have a rather large impact in terms of privacy.

Outer Wilds had so many profound moments, imho. Just listing a couple more:

Spoilers, obviously

  • The core of the interloper
  • The dead Nomai in Dark Bramble (two of them in an embrace, iirc)
  • The messages from other Nomai tribes in the Vessel
  • Having to remove the warp core from the ATP
  • The number of loop iterations in the probe tracking module
  • The ending of the DLC

In my experience, once you've got Arch set up, it less work to maintain than Manjaro. On Arch, you have noticeably more frequent, but smaller, package updates. On Manjaro, compatibility issues with the AUR may occur, which happened a few times for me, while that won't happen on Arch.

Keepass allows you to use a passphrase in combination with a randomly generated keyfile. You only need to copy the keyfiles to your devices once (not via cloud services, obviously). Your actual database can then be synchronized via any cloud provider of your choice (hell, you could even upload it publicly for everyone to see) and it would still be secure.

Of course, one doesn't have to install Arch manually; archiso and Endeavour are great conveniences and exist for a reason.

That doesn't change the fact that people who rely on those tools not because they want to save some time/effort but because they're unable to follow wiki instructions are likely better off with something other than Arch.

Gut, Carlsen ist natürlich ein krasser statistischer Ausreißer - nicht nur für Norwegen, sondern weltweit. Der Abstand zwischen ihm und Caruana (Weltrang 2) ist laut 2700chess aktuell größer als der zwischen Caruana und Le Quang Liem (Weltrang 17).

Nimmt man Magnus mal raus, bewegen wir uns aber wieder in einem ähnlichen Bereich; Tari ist Weltrang 120, Hammer ist 159.

Würde dir da jetzt nicht widersprechen, aber andererseits hat grade Schach auch schon seit Langem eine "Open Category" als Standard. Genau so eine Kategorie hat ja World Aquatics beim Schwimmen grade erst eingeführt, um Trans-Athletinnen eine Teilnahme zu ermöglichen.

Es spielen halt auch viel weniger Frauen Schach als Männer, da entstehen solche Diskrepanzen allein aus statistischen Gründen. Wenn man den besten Spieler aus einem bestimmten, kleinen Land betrachtet, ist das meist ähnlich; der beste Däne ist z.B. Weltrangliste 137.

Falls dich das Thema mehr interessiert, ist aber die Karriere von Judit Polgar (und ihren Schwestern) durchaus beachtenswert. Sie hat es als einzige Frau jemals in die Top 10 der Weltrangliste geschafft (Platz 8) und ist mit Sicherheit die beste Schachspielerin aller Zeiten. Sie ist zwar nicht mehr aktiv, aber mit ihrem letzten Rating würde sie noch Weltranglistenplatz 72 belegen.

And if one is not able to install Arch using archinstall, then they should question themselves if Arch is even the right distro for them.

Without wanting to be elitist, I'd go further than that. While archinstall is a nice convenience, even the "manual" installation is really just diligently reading and following the wiki guide.

If that's too much for you, you're likely going to struggle when stuff needs manual intervention and you're probably better off with a different distro.
