I might have glossed over details, that felt like a lot of words just explaining what the distros are instead of your experience with them, but did you run cachy? Did you run into issues? The update experience with the immutables makes sense, but I've never had a problem with arch in over 3 years (though I do update regularly). Is it more of the issue of manually updating?

That's fair, my tire settings need reset a few times per year. I don't have the ac problem, but the sound for the speakers doesn't work maybe once a month for some reason. Like I said, definitely quirks, but much better than my experience with the kia.

The things I don't like on the kia are deliberate design decisions (or perhaps wild after thoughts in design) that I have to deal with every single time I drive it. I don't know if I've ever had the level of disdain for a vehicle ever. In fairness, there is a lot to like, but I feel like it's definitely vehicle for people who either don't like driving, are passive drivers and indifferent to the vehicle or both.

I've had a polestar for a couple years now, and it's by far my favorite vehicle. It has quirks, but most I can get past. I also have a kia EV and I fucking hate it. It forces you to get handheld through everything and it has some really dumb software choices. Everything I hate about then could be changed with a software update to give options, but I don't foresee that happening ever.

From my memory, it's just a $50k reservation, and if that's the case, it's going to cost a lot more than that in actuality.

Do the new ones still require you to use the app?

Yeah windows 10 was fine for me, and I really liked 7 and XP generally speaking. It really feels like 11 is constant obstacles and harassment from Microsoft. Maybe that's because I'm more of a "power user" but I can't imagine a normal person enjoying the experience

I have to use a windows computer for about 1 day a week for work currently. It always amazes me how fucking slow and laggy it is compared to my arch setup (which isn't riced/dialed basically at all). System update? Have fun waiting for 30 minutes with random restarts. Want to check your files? Forget about the onedrive nonsense, fucking file explorer takes my work laptop a full minute to open and be usable. It's really something.

Yeah I've been bordering on expanding storage for like a year or so. I should have just pulled the trigger when I was at like 50% capacity before the spike in prices when I first thought about upgrading

With the advent of endeavor and cachy, I would argue there's zero point to using Manjaro. If you like the arch style and figure on reading updates to ensure things don't break, might as well be on a distro that's just arch nicely preconfigured with a nice installer.

Manjaro adds another later of complexity to that by holding some updates back for reasons, that as far as I've seen doesn't really do much in the way of helping stability.

At first I wondered why, but after reading I think it's a fair change. I'm not sure how I feel about nura, but it's definitely fine.

Seems they (the article) worded it in a pretty uncharitable way. If we're comparing likelihoods, then it's a big difference like you said almost 50% more likely. That's like saying something going from 1% likelihood to 5% is a 4% increase, instead of saying 5x more likely.

Nice! I personally really enjoy using hand tools when I can. Not needing hearing protection and dust collection is pretty underrated lol
