Been running arch on all my computers for almost two decades, including my work computers the past 6 years. I find arch very reliable. Aur enabled.
Gotta say though, the experience leveled up after I started using ThinkPad’s. I guess the hardware fits quite well.
As for the bleeding edge strategy from my perspective; if you do something a lot, you tend to get good at it. In my opinion stability in spite of bleeding edge software was or is just a matter of time
I see way more “China is good”-propaganda than any other nation or group of nations
Edit: they are also quick to downvote, delete my comment or ban me when I write things like this
If China is so great, why the constant need for propaganda?
You lived in ignorance, but now you see? I’m sorry to say the problems of the world aren’t limited to west versus east
So much anger, so desperate for control. You have my sympathy
By flawed I mean that there is a hierarchy where power consolidates at the top between a small number of humans. The reason why I call this a flaw is based on three premises:
As for China; take Hong Kong and or Tiananmen Square. Or something more straight forward; their conflict with Taiwan. They are pushing a narrative that Taiwan belongs to them, even though Taiwan clearly does not belong to them, which then reduces the statement to propaganda and an attempt to reframe what is true
To be clear, I favor communism as an idea. It’s just the implementations of the idea historically have been flawed. I don’t know anything about communistic subgroups. Take China for example; changing historic events by pushing an alternative “truth” is not focusing on facts. A list of books is a good indicator, but the contents of the books are also relevant
Yeah. Historic communism has the same problem as capitalism. People in unchecked power at the top. Doesn’t matter what ideology we follow if we refuse to fix root problems.
It’s also a problem that people love to gather around either worshipping or hating a certain individual, party or political direction. I wish people would focus more on the politics beneath, facts, statistics and causality
Kinda hard to compare when china is so good at controlling what information comes out
