Thanks for the suggestion! However, I'm more than comfortable going with Arch now, something that wasn't true when I first picked up Manjaro (over 6 years ago).

I've settled on Manjaro for this computer, and I'm pretty happy with it (I've stooped distro-hopping, I just don't have the energy, nor the time to entertain that on my only laptop), though I'm considering changing to base Arch for my next one (which I hope is still 3 years or so in the future; this machine is only 4 yro still). Why? Because the version wait on Manjaro seems a bit arbitrary sometimes and that lag often doesn't play nice with the AUR (which I love). Sometimes I think of switching to more esoteric distros, such as the neat Alpine (which I've been using on servers for a while) and reproducible NixOS, but then I question the day to day usability and pain points, which are quite relevant to me atm.

Why do I like Manjaro though? I like the Arch made easier, the mhwd tools, the support forums (which I know people have mixed feelings on, but my experience has been nothing other than very pleasant).

Feel free to discuss my points!

As a slight joke (but only slight), ministers and other positions of power. It's incredible how poorly qualified some nominated ministers are, over here...

Democracy should allow anyone to run to be elected, but people nominated by the prime minister for specific ministries, should have some degree of education or experience in the field. Until very recently, there was essentially no assessment of skills. Now there are some forms and whatnot, but I still find it very lacking.

For example, we had a minister over 10 years ago that got his Bachelor's nullified by a court ordering following an investigation of some shady deals with the University.

Seeing Portugal in second depresses me, but it's kinda expected :/

No, you can leave it in case someone might be thinking of asking the same. The community isn't really moderated atm either way (though that may be changing soon :tm:).

Incredible update, well worth the wait!

Congrats to everyone involved :D

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 2 points 7 months ago

Nice to hear! I'm sure you'll get the hang of it again :P
What classes were you best at?

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

hehe let me know how it goes!

[–] tmpod@lemmy.pt 2 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Nice! Would love to see you around :)

Yeah! My current favorite is Uncletopia, which was created by the popular UncleDane TF2 youtuber but is now run by a community of dedicated people (but I think Dane still pays the bills). It has non-vanilla tweaks, such as no random crits, no random bullet spread, voting for maps and team scrambling, etc. The skill ceiling is also a tad higher than regular casual, which I like since it pushes me to improve further. I love the tweaks, the community and have never seen any bots, so it's great!

Skial is another major network that has been around forever and is still rocking like a champ. I don't play as much there, but I always find it a nice place as well :)

Yeah I feel you. It's often hard to be fully alert of what you're sharing all the time. I have slip ups but it's usually fine, I'm only mega careful regarding things that could give away the city/town/village I live in, and where I work. If I ever really want to talk about it, I will use a different (often temporary) alias.
