The good news is it won't be full bipartisian. Plenty of junior politicians know which way the wind is blowing here. But its still going to pass and it will be largely bipartisan.

Arch is deliberately minimal making it a good base system in the same way Debian or Fedora is. It's smaller, simpler, updates faster than the others and is far more configurable. It is however not built for the average user and most distros built on top of it that try to make it more "usable" are IMO pretty dangerous ideas. I think the only derivative i've tried that was good was SteamOS because they made it Atomic like nix or silverblue.

None of this really has to do with the AUR. That was always labelled as "use at your own risk". And to their credit they caught and addressed the attack within a day of it happening. Still, hosting user PKGBUILDs and leaving it to individual users to audit them is not a secure solution, its just punting on the responsibility.

Holy shit the intercept has gone downhill with the AI images.

They probably can just block IPs of foreign DNS but I suspect there's ways of mirroring around that.

Regarding the specific issues mentioned: Nvidia support is subpar on Linux. There's many distros that are specifically designed to handle all the graphics support for gaming and Ubuntu isn't one of them.

Little bit of lore here: When I first started using Linux Nvidia support was better than ATI because they actually bothered to maintain a proprietary Linux driver. There were open source drivers for both but they weren't performant. The proprietary ATI driver existed but it was maintained by one dude and required a goat sacrifice to install correctly. Since then, however, maybe after AMD bought ATI, they started investing in the open source driver. After that the open source driver just works and competes with the proprietary Nvidia driver. After that I've been brand loyal to AMD.

LibreWolf chewing up 3.2Gb is regrettably just normal for a modern browser. Firefox and Chrome will do this too. I'd be genuinely impressed though if Vivaldi has avoided that.

Better trade relations if we keep imposing tariffs on them, obv.

Or were you asking why the Peoples Republic of China and the Republic of China would ever have anything to reconcile over?
