yes, i think we can all agree at least on the last point: that developing forward as a community, any Linux is better than corporate OSs. not because they're evil products of capitalist agenda (even though that's the case), but because developing them allows you to have a choice, and also incentivizes large companies to meet these security and freedom standards.

yeah, i mean apart from people satisfying their masochistic desires and highlighting their moral superiority by using CLI (look mama, ima hacker), Arch is genuinely a great OS. and, honestly, like i argued in my post, not as "masochistic" to install as people paint it to be.
i experimentally found that peeing standing (handstanding to be precise) is the ultimate way, so i learned how to do that (like i said, was last year)
in my case it was kinda easy, since they were actually linked in the Arch wiki directly!!! but, yes, i guess in general it might be an issue. maybe look for keywords such as "easyeffects profile " or something along these lines. you can also play around a little with the app to find the settings that work for you.
agree, yes, especially the ProtonDrive configured through rsync: i really need it to be reliable, since i often travel and absolutely need my documents synced automatically with my PC. even in the early versions of ProtonDrive windows/mac app, it was often not syncing, and i would find myself on the road need to download a few gigs worth of slides and pdfs.
totally understand it. it took me about a full day to setup everything the way i liked (i'm also quite picky when it comes to usability), but honestly the next time i do it, i can probably do it in a couple of hours, since i now know all the ins and outs.
tried it... :( not really a replacement for me
honestly, i like the idea of Arch being completely bare bone. you can then keep track of everything you install afterwards, and that helps a lot when later you try to troubleshoot any issues, since you know exactly what's installed, what's modified, and what's running in the background.
like i mentioned above in the comment, i really meant to say OnlyOffice (but i also tried Libre, and a bunch of others)
I very much hope so too!!! i made myself to drift away from the Fusion 360 (they just took it a step further by moving a lot of stuff to the cloud) towards the FreeCad, and am enjoying its capabilities ever since. hope the same happens to GIMP. and it's not about getting used to it after Photoshop, it just really lacks some of the basic functionality i absolutely need.
A free-falling observer lives in a locally Minkowskian space-time, so feels no such thing. So I like my metric flat.
