Downloading packages as an unprivileged user is a pretty neat update for people who want to do that.

I noticed that the computer was magnetic and played with magnets around it. The hard drive was totally wiped. Now my parents could have reinstalled the operating system but they just got a new computer instead.

More devices need to come with Linux out of the box. It should be possible to buy a device with Linux at your local Walmart.

It won't, but it will be sold, and the moderation and censorship practices will change.

First full time distro was Manjaro. First exposure to desktop Linux was Ubuntu on a crappy school netbook. Now I use Arch (btw)

Why is Lemmy, with a tiny fraction of Mastodon's MAU, more fun than Mastodon? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Like others have said, the community aspect of Lemmy allows me to follow things I enjoy, not people who may or may not post something I like. Additionally, even a simple algorithm that sorts content based on perceived relevancy makes it so I can see the stuff I want to see first (though someone did point out that that isn't entirely fair, but the "New" sort does provide that experience).

Most smart TVs have a dumb mode. As long as you can plug in anything you want you should be fine.

TVs are also a product that seems to last, at least on my experience.

Even if packages weren't broken, the fact that they make it easy to use the AUR is problematic because the AUR expects the latest packages from the Arch Repos. Often, AUR packages will break on Manjaro for that reason.
