Alternatives to Google, to YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, Messenger, alternatives to Chromium/Chrome browsers - these are important things to be aware of.
SearXNG has search handled for me - scraping Bing and Google amongst others (and often I see Google results are low down on my list).
Haha this is stunning - that someone will choose something so they are not forced to use a terminal.
Please tell us how you can install and use SearXNG, or Prowlarr, or Overseerr with your superb GUI tools?
Let’s face it. For anyone who ever used and is knowledgable about Windows, we must admit that the road to make Linux really useable from GUI alone is a very long one (and one that most of us just get bored with).
YMMV
I run Manjaro with KDE on X11… I use a lot of mouse gestures, so I can’t sit with Wayland.
I found the SYSTEM is extremely stable for ME. It is important to say this every time…
I find KDE is often less stable… I had at least 2 issues I couldn’t explain/understand and just fixed with restoring contents of .config from snapshots.
This is one area where Manjaro ‘held back’ and did actually save us from a lot of the bleeding edge (5.26 was a rough ride)… but that’s not an ‘Arch’ issue, that’s a ‘KDE’ issue.
But the USER likes to tip the boat until it does a barrel roll, or sinks entirely… and this is mostly what divides the happy users. Sometimes it’s just basic hardware, sometimes it’s the USER habits/modus operandi.
So we have Snapshots, and we have rsync backups to a mounted drive… Then it matters not - a quick restart fixes most issues, and a reinstall takes only 6 minutes with no data lost -> in backups.
That’s stable enough for me.
BTW, I use AUR quite a lot - and it never actually caused me an issue, other than some stuff needing rebuilds.
Just install pingu. You must learn the basics when you install an operating system…
I’d do…
yay pinguparu pingupamac install pinguThey’d all work.
Then I just did pingu lemmy.world
Haha Pornhub - proof that most visitors use Windows, and they’re a bunch of wankers.
