You literally can’t get one because they already sold every single one they were able to manufacture and there’s a wait-list of a few months for the next ones they will be able to manufacture.

You completely missed the point. OP made a claim “EV cars have lots of gimmicks”, this comment is saying “so do non EV cars”.

You seem to have already tried something and didn’t liked it, what was it and why?

I feel most newcomers often overthink this question. You should pick something aimed at newcomers that’s meant to be user friendly, that’s the main idea behind most Ubuntu based distros, and why I have been recommending people to use Mint for almost two decades, and that’s still my recommendation for new users.

There are lots of things to learn when migrating to Linux. The main one is to not expect it to be Windows. But most distros are essentially the same, their differences are mostly philosophical rather than technical, but philosophical differences can have technical impacts. For example, a distro with the philosophy that things need to be tested before given to users will have a smoother but outdated experience than one with the philosophy of latest is best, or for a more extreme example, a distro with the philosophy that your system should be declared as a configuration will require much more different kind of maintenance than one where it’s more install things around to build your system.

Finally there’s one thing that I think most new users don’t realize, any distro can look like any other distro very easily. The difference between distros is not cosmetic, it’s much more engrained into the core of how to use the distro, but most day-to-day stuff is identical. The graphical part of a Linux system is called a Desktop Environment (DE) or a Window Manager (WM), technically a DE is a full set of programs that includes a WM. I would strongly recommend you start with a DE, installing multiple DEs and playing around to figure out what you like is an excellent idea, personally I like Plasma even though I don’t use it daily because I prefer tiling window managers (possibly not something to worry about now), but other people prefer Gnome, Cinnamon, etc, play around and figure out what you like, this will have a much larger impact in your experience than changing distro.

fuel cells do not burn hydrogen.

Why not? Isn’t burning a common term for exothermic oxidation? As in 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O + heat

There are some advantages, batteries require more pollution to be created and have a larger environmental impact if not dealt with properly. A hydrogen car has the potential to be 100% clean. That being said I don’t think it’s that big of an advantage considering some of the difficulties involved in it.

Most hydrogen is made from oil.

In your country. Countries with green energy use renewable sources, so they use water to split water into hydrogen and oxygen and then they can combine hydrogen with oxygen to generate energy and move cars around, all without generating almost no pollution at all.

It always amaze me how people train a random number generator to perform a task, and then go surprised Pikachu face as the random number generator proceeds to attempt random things to get a better result at that task.

It’s like all of the times an LLM “escaped”, no shit Sherlock, you put up a random machine into a box and asked it to guess what’s outside, how long until it randomly tries the strategy of peaking outside the box?

It’s a movie with a talking dog, in which the dog says something along the lines of “dogs don’t like belly rubs, they only get them because it makes humans happy” to which the human replies they only give them because dogs like it, and they argue over who likes it.

Did you just watch Absolutely Anything?

Not the person you’re asking, but I went the other way around like you, the main reason for me was that mealie can extract and import from plaintext, so it’s easier to migrate away if I ever want to. I rather have things closer to plaintext whenever possible.

Thought I had replied this. Not strong ones, but IIRC vim-racer is per keystroke, as in a puzzle trying to find the less amount of keys needed to do something.

Yes, when there’s a causation link between things there’s also a correlation between them. But correlation does not imply causation means the link doesn’t go the other way. It’s like, every dog is an animal, but not every animal is a dog.

Correlations might be useful to figure out common causes, for example the correlation between student height and reading skills, could mean taller people are more educated, or, more likely, that your students are young enough that age is an important factor at play.

And finally, correlation might be just a fluke of chance, for example the amount of automotive recalls related to AirBags correlates almost perfectly with the popularity of the first name Killian: https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious/correlation/2599_popularity-of-the-first-name-killian_correlates-with_automotive-recalls-for-issues-with-the-air-bags that site has other similar examples.

So yeah, correlation might be important, but they might be nothing at all, so don’t just assume that a correlation implies causation.

Are you in any way related to https://vim-racer.com/ ? If not you should consider changing the name of your game.

Also, is your game per time or per key presses?

I think you’re suffering a bit from this: https://xkcd.com/2501/

You know the feeling you have about Gentoo? That’s the feeling for someone going to Linux, even to Ubuntu, the more complications you add the worse the feeling is.

Arch is not hard, it’s not complicated, but there’s a lot of unknowns unknowns that can bite a newcomer in the ass. If you’re already familiar with Linux Arch is easy peasy, just like Gentoo, it’s just some small things you have to learn.

Think about it this way, you’re already familiar with 99% of what Gentoo will ask of you and still it’s not something you’re up for doing, imagine the frustration of not knowing what’s anything and having to go through that.

Re-read my post, and tell me where did I said Arch is complicated? My view is summarized in the last paragraph, and I can summarize it even more here “good, but not beginner friendly”. Arch expects you to know how to deal with it, it expects you to read the news, it expects you know how to downgrade a package and it expects you’re comfortable in a terminal. A newcomer is unlikely to even know about any of that, they already have to learn a lot of other things like package manager, learning what’s the name of each program and how they behave slightly different from what they’re used to, etc, they don’t need to learn about pacnew/pacsave files on top of all of that. If you’re already comfortable in Linux, yeah, Arch is amazing, but if you’re presented with a terminal not even knowing what KDE/Gnome are you’re going to have a bad time.

And that’s the thing, it’s not that it’s complicated, but it’s the unknowns unknowns that will get a new user, they don’t know they need a session manager, they don’t know they need a printer daemon, etc. And if you bypass that by using Manjaro/Cachy, you’re now in a position of using a distro that expects you to know about that but didn’t taught you about them.

You know the weirdest part? Arch used to have a TUI installer when I first migrated to it, it lost it at some point between 2009 and 2012 (since I discovered it didn’t existed anymore on a laptop I bought in 2012. Weird that they redid an installer after all these years (and yeah, I know that technically pacstrap is an installer, but it doesn’t do much)

most recommended was debian and debian based. But I for myself(Even though the post says otherwise) now chose to use an arch based distro

Why are you asking our opinion on the matter since you clearly have made up your mind already?

because of the better supported and newer nvidia drivers

Newer doesn’t necessarily mean better, there’s a reason other d’Ístria delay packages and it has to do with compatibility and finding early bugs.

as well as automatic hardware detection.

What? Debian based distros have automatic hardware detection, Arch expects you to know your hardware and install things accordingly. Hell, almost nothing in Arch is automatic.

So I wanted to hear some experiences of you, that you may have had in the past considering EndeavourOS, CachyOS, Manjaro and Arch itself.

I used Arch as my main distro for over 15 years, it’s a great distro it has a lot of advantages in my book and it’s still the distro I feel most at home with. But it’s definitely NOT beginner friendly, you’ll get the latest packages with the latest bugs and incompatibilities, sure you might get the latest performance gains, but that’s when you’re not facing the latest regressions in performance or in compatibility.

Don’t get me wrong, I still love Arch and have it on some of my systems, but it’s something that you have to know how to deal with.

I personally have gone for Manjaro now

If you must use Arch go with plain Arch. Manjaro and others essentially give you a pretty GUI installer, nothing more, and they cost you the customization of building your system from the ground up and knowing how to rebuild and fix if things go wrong for whatever reason (plus every Arch community will first ask what distro you’re running, and if it’s not pure Arch they won’t even look at your post). Also worth mentioning, AUR packages are built for Arch, they might work on Manjaro or Cachy, but they might also not due to the slight version variations.

In short, I think Arch is a great system, but it has some difficulties attached to it that could potentially make it a problem for someone that wants something that “just works”, which is what most new users want, whether they admit it or not.

Uhh, that’s hard… I guess I would say, in no particular order:

• Dead Cells
• Factorio
• Outer wilds
• Dwarf Fortress
• SOMA

I spent a while getting Ansible to be able to setup and maintain my server(s). And ended up not using it as much as I should, mostly because the computer I used to run Ansible from became a “Steam Machine” so I’m rarely sitting on it with a keyboard now and I don’t want to have personal info and keys on my work computer.

But it was a good learning, and useful while I used it. Now I just use ssh and compose files directly.

Except good artists and coders enjoy the creation process, so they won’t use it like that.

I need to change every instance of this function to another? Sure, let an LLM do it, that’s tedious to do and easy to verify. Implement a new system? Hell no, that’s interesting to do and hard to verify. I imagine artists have similar feelings on the matter, but I don’t know what’s a tedious task that’s easy to verify for an artist.
