Where? I have never seen this…

I literally said

I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.

in my post

Pray your luck continues, backup regularly, when it inevitably fails switch to something immutable so you never have to worry about such things again.

A remarkable paper has just come out on this topic.

I’d also like to ask how you feel about this paper:

Manjaro

I highly recommend avoiding manjaro like the plague, their team is incredibly incompetent (see: https://manjarno.pages.dev/ ), I say this as someone who has given people manjaro for years and regretted it, I was also their it person, manjaro regularly broke every few months and gave people a very bad taste of linux

for example, why are kernels given version numbers in packages? This caused 3 separate peoples computers to break multiple times. Everything good about manjaro comes from arch, everything bad about manjaro comes from the manjaro team.

Y’know how it’s not rolling release because they delay packages by 2 weeks? They actually do no testing in this time. How do I know this? They pushed an update that caused steam to uninstall your desktop environment. Famously covered by linus tech tips… this is something that should have easily been caught, and yet the two week window did absolutely nothing.

the truth is for manjaro there is no real usecase, there’s no set of desires that align with manjaro being the best choice for you. I am not asking you to switch away from manjaro, but I do not think we should ever recommend it to anyone, and on your next machine, I recommend trying the arch installer.

But if what you’re looking for is an easy pre-setup arch, use endeavoros

If you want something simple and up to date, use fedora kinoite

If you’re a power user and want to configure every little thing about their system, use arch or nixos

If you don’t care at all about updates and want the most rock solid system possible, debian.

Yes except element call is a frontend for voip and p2p

there’s a graphical indicator if they send something unencrypted, and there’s no way to turn an encrypted chat into an unencrypted chat on matrix. Plus they start encrypted by default, I honestly don’t even know how to make an unencrypted chat, I don’t think there’s any good way to other than using a client that doesn’t have encryption.

this is not a real problem.

Did you watch the video I linked?

It seems to be essentially about a way to trick them into doing general reasoning, and a direct response to your comment.

Is it not the case that predicting the next word often requires reasoning about the next word in order to have any form of accuracy?

And that if you select for better and better prediction, you have to also select for reasoning?

How is it more secure than matrix? I can’t even self-host it.

No they don’t, it’s just confusingly worded

Element X is a matrix client that will eventually replace Element for android/ios

Matrix 2.0 is the server suite, some of the changes in matrix 2.0 are necessary for element x to work.

They didn’t though? Source?

Yeah but this only happened because they ate Schrodingers cat

Make sure to go immutable so you never have to do maintenance. The atomic spins are fantastic.

At first I installed Arch on my main rig, but I then decided to switch to manjaro because I am worried that Arch might be a bit more “volatile” when it comes to updates than a more “stable” distro like manjaro.

Their “stable” releases are fake. They literally just wait two weeks and don’t perform ANY tests, the manjaro team is ridiculously incompetent.

How do I know this?

They shipped an update to steam that uninstalled the desktop environment, this should’ve easily been caught in their two week period if they performed ANY tests at all, and they did not. Manjaro is an incredibly incompetent distro that has had fiasco after fiasco.
