Going to try these out. Thanks bud.

You're correct! One of the devs wrote an article about why they made the change.

Because the regular cheese was the snacking cheeses and I ate the last of it days ago. Keep forgetting to stop at the store on the way home so now I'm surviving on ingredient cheese.

For breakfast, 1 serving honey from the jar and 1 serving apple butter also from the jar. Lunch will be every pepperoni in the house. Dinner is handfuls of shredded cheese paired with a few bites of a raw carrot and frozen cookie dough for dessert.

You've got it right. I appreciate the directiness of the forum moderator because it was a clear signal to me that the Arch community doesn't value my experience at the level I would like.

Supporting iMacs for 8 years taught me Apple doesn't value my experience either. I'm happy to upend my system and workflow if it means I'm a step closer to living in the world I want to exist. Most of my life is chosen for me so I want the decisions I have control over to be meaningful to me.

Daydreaming about this now.

I'd like to be able to take it all in but I can go weeks without the energy or interest to read a wall of text. Other times I'll start an update and lose interest while it downloads. I realize these are personal problems but that's why I value custom tools like Linux I can adapt to my needs and shortfalls.

You're probably right, this is a issue that isn't unique to Arch. In this case, I would have been fine if a default had been chosen for people who didn't do the reading. Something like installing a plugin that will keep basic functionally of the app working.

I agree that reviewing terminal output is a valuable skill. I'm often lacking the attention or energy to pay attention to every update. I wish that wasn't the case because I believe I have higher than average emotional reactions when things go unexpectedly but the lack of attention -> unexpected event -> emotional reaction loop is a pattern of my life I've come to accept.

Luckily just installing the plugins worked. Thank you for offering advice.

Opensuse Tumbleweed has made my list to try out.

Thanks for CachyOS. This is my first time hearing of it so I've got some reading to do.

My first experience with Linux was Ubuntu back in 2007! I thought it was interesting but didn't become a Linux user until 12 years later when I realized gaming was possible without dual booting.

Something I experience a lot is getting excited for new features. It gives me an energy I can use to start a project I wouldn't have done otherwise. I need to be able to start soon after hearing about the new feature or I risk losing the excitement and missing out on the energy it would have provided.

You just gave me words for something that was previously just vague internal grumbling and emotions.

Manjaro knows how to aesthetically please me with their color choices and background art. I've got a negative impression from various podcasts and forum posts but I'm realizing I need to look into that more because I can't recall specifics besides something about a past issue with package distribution.
