To me, AUR and rolling release.
up-to-date packages is the most important thing in linux world since you want to try it when it released right away rather than waiting for it to get released for certain years or month.
I don’t think so.
Did Ubuntu replace Debian?
Yea that year will be 4022.
Well, if we take into account that the universe is ~14 billion years old that’s pretty soon, literally like tomorrow ![]()
Artemis has just launched so once it orbits the moon and slingshots off the other side it may be a 2024 landing?

I haven’t tried all Linux distributions either. Nevertheless, EOS has been working stably for quite some time now and serving my needs.
Wouldn’t it be more like seconds before I actually posted?
On EndeavourOS and Arco Linux, the kewl animation while “pacman” downloads packages. ![]()
Although I suck at the video game LOL.
Also the video-game character is brown, should be yellow… but it’s a minor flaw.
Manjaro is VERY BORING about this though and increasingly offended by it.
“apt” on distros directly Debian-based comes up with this green text for progress marker, WTF is that? With the same ######### as Manjaro’s “pacman”! But that’s while it’s installing, not while downloading. I want to change it…
The “dnf” or “yum” or whatever it wants to call itself on Fedora is boring too. BTW I prefer command-line-based install/remove utilities because I’ve had really bad experiences with Discovery (buggy), GNOME Software (imposes what it wants), dnfdragora (shocking Fedora has this for MATE, they need to measure screens for tallness or put vertical scrollbars on it), Pamac (keeps asking for password everytime I move toward it) and others. Synaptics is OK but the GSlapt/slapt-get act-alike for Salix turned me completely off. Very good at installing extra packages but leaving orphans when the fetched app is not wanted anymore. I also didn’t like ALT Linux’s version of Synaptics and even less the one that comes with OpenSuSE.
If I weren’t for the EndeavourOS “way” I wouldn’t have appreciated how Arch family is different from other families. During intense distro-hopping I would have been one of those people intensely frustrated unable to get a working installation. I would never be “intermediate” Linux user anyhow.
So you were just a distro hopper like me.
Although I settled on Debian for a long time while I was learning the ins and outs of Linux.
