Plasma has a cycle of releasing a bunch of new features and changes, and then squashing bugs every week when they discover them.

Debian is on a 2+ year release schedule, and the packages are frozen long before the release. So plasma might be either working fine, or be broken for 2+ years.

Fedora is semi-stable because it's on a 4 month schedule, and AFAIK they don't rush upgrading to new major plasma versions, so plasma works a lot better.

Generally from my experience, plasma works best on rolling distros, while it's crap on stable ones. Stable DEs like xfce are incomparably better suited to stable distros.

It's an obvious vector for malware, arch by default doesn't come with it, and users have been warned the entire time to check pkgbuild. There's nothing fishy, it's just that arch has enough users to be worth it to hit it.

Wrong shaped beak for that, shovel instead of spear

I'm currently running a home server using Ubuntu OS, but I'd like to try and explore other options for operating systems to better my skills with linux/unix.

What are you hoping to explore? Distrohopping servers is pretty much pointless, especially if you're using docker.

Like you're going to use dnf to install docker instead of apt, maybe configure selinux instead of apparmor, and that's it. Definitely not worth it IMO.

Let's ignore all the anti-consumer bs (like selling user data to Amazon) and just focus on snaps.

• each snap installed slows down your boot time
• snaps get installed even when you don't expect them to (apt get install firefox for example)
• snap store is closed source

Wait for the environmental changes and the mass extinction event to break your knees because you're overdue on your vig

FOR THE EMPEROR!?!!

You when you mess something up and only figure it out later?

Are MX users just low key quiet, am I escaping their presence or is there a different reason for MX' high HPD score?

That's definitely a factor. People write and talk about new and exciting stuff, MX is neither. There's no point in writing an article that goes: MX experience - same as a year ago because nothing changed, see ya again in a year.

Because you have 20 of them around the house and don't care if you lose them?

Why would you use disposable refills at all if you care about the environment? A fountain pen can last for many years, the ink comes in glass containers, and it's far nicer for writing in most scenarios.

Ff with sidebery is pretty amazing. Although, it's annoying you need to add a CSS file to disable regular tabs.
