None of that other stuff matters if they’re this incompetent at something as basic as SSL certificates. It’s not dogma. It’s not nitpicking. This is Security 101. I can’t recommend a distro that fails this badly at a basic security task to newcomers.
I’m sorry, but the fact that they failed to renew their SSL certificates and told their users to change their system clocks as a workaround, not once, not twice, but FIVE times so far… well, that’s not petty. That’s security 101. That tells me they can’t be trusted to provide a secure operating system.
The rest of your points, I mostly agree with you on. I really wanted to like Manjaro when I tried it a few years ago. I would love to see more newbie-friendly distros that aren’t based on Ubuntu and GNOME. But I can’t recommend a distro that can’t even manage to do SSL renewals right.
That sounds more like forced than willing to me.
True, that’s why I said they were brainwashed
That too. But I also know a lot of people who aren’t tech-literate who refuse to consider buying anything that doesn’t come with Windows because “it’s too hard”
Don’t forget about the disposable laptops with Windows 10 that are no longer supported because Windows 11 doesn’t like their TPM or CPU!
“Why do people willingly use Windows?”
Because they are brainwashed into thinking it’s the easiest platform, and that any problems they encounter are because that’s just how computers are.
The dems dropped the ball in the 2024 election, by pretending Biden was sharp as a tack and gaslighting us about his mental health until they couldn’t hide it anymore during that disastrous debate, and since they lied about him so long, they replaced him with someone who flopped HARD in 2020 and lost the election in 2024.
I voted for Bernie Sanders in the primaries and watched as the DNC did everything they could to destroy him and install a good little establishment guy like Biden.
When Trump’s a psychopath and the opposition keeps gaslighting us about the mental health of the president so long that they have no choice but to hand pick a replacement because it’s too late for a primary, a lot of people are just going to say “fuck it” and not vote.
They’re still being delusional and refusing to face facts. Hopefully they can learn from this.
That, and he just fires anyone who gives him news he doesn’t agree with. And we all know how Trump feels about climate change.

As someone who generally likes Arch, I feel like this isn’t brought up enough. Every Arch user seems to love pacman, but I find it way clunkier to use than apt and dnf. It’s like they made it cryptic on purpose.
