I don’t understand why Arch is associated with troubles. It was more complicated to fix my issues with Fedora and I don’t like Ubuntu default choices. Having the desktop that I like is much easier with Arch and its derivatives.

You should probably check Comaps instead of Organic Maps.

That’s typically the kind of videos I will never watch. The thumbnail is ridiculous (as per YouTube’s guidelines), the title is vague and clickbait. For those who did, what made you click?

PS: thanks OP for adding details

They are using automatic dubbing by default here in France! I was horrified the first time.

As cardfire said, I just have to take my debit/credit card from where it’s usually stored. I have never lost or damadeged my phone since I got one in 98, that’s more than an hedge case.

And I can also buy on the internet without needing physical access to my cards.

The only use case for physical cards is unfortunately gas stations. So 6 times a year in average I need them.

Tap to pay is essential to me. I never carry anything more than my phone, so no credit/debit card.

Wow, it seems to work, thanks !

Swiping with Heliboard is very frustrating. In my native language, I have to rewrite 50% of the words. I’ve never managed to make it write “c’est” for example.

I had no trouble transferring my playlists to Deezer, but I only had dozens of them.

Same for me, I got tired of the same artists being played over and over. I’ve switched to Deezer who does a much better job. I will probably switch to Qobuz soon.

Piracy doesn’t have an easy way to discover new songs (somethind Deezer is much better at than Spotify). I’ll probably try Qobuz soon.

I started using Manjaro in 2018. I can’t remember any significant break.

Usually, the stable branch is updated every 2 weeks or so. Look at the past releases: https://forum.manjaro.org/c/announcements/stable-updates/12

I’m not a fan of getting updates every single day, sometimes breaking little things. I prefer less frequent homogeneous and tested releases.

It’s funny because I see the same cult behavior, but for Fedora. I’ve never understood the point of this distribution that has never worked well for me.

I’m on Manjaro by the way, because I love everything about Arch except the release style.

Here in France they drive at 70km/h in a 90km/h road. They also drive at 70 in a 70 road. And 70 in a 50 road. And 70 in a 30 road…

I gave up on eReaders after 2 bad experiences with Kindles. I still have the last one I bought but it keeps on rebooting after a couple of minutes and couldn’t find a way to fix it.

I had a look recently and they’re all 180€+ now. Back to real books then.

I hate to tell you that because I appreciate your post, but it doesn’t fit in /c/technology

An alternative is to rely on Yunohost where installing/upgrading Nextcloud is a matter of 2 clicks: https://yunohost.org/

All ancient phones unfortunately
