Thanks for that, it looks much nicer than Latex!

Good to know regarding the (non) stutters! Is there a mechanism to reconnect applications to the compositor after a crash so that they'd survive? (or at least a plan to make such a mechanism?)

Vizia looks really nice, but the book only covers a counter example... Sadly, this is the state of most Rust GUI libraries at the moment...

Well done :) I specifically best like 3, but my description probably applies to all of them.

So they're fine with cheating with someone's wife, but without kissing?

Pedophilia is a mental condition, much like homosexuality. They don't choose to be one, they know it's wrong. I bet there are plenty of closeted pedos (i.e. don't act on their urges and trying to lead normal lives). The only difference is that homosexuality occurs between consenting adults, and doesn't hurt anyone except for the sensibilities of some righteous pious {profanity}, while pedos hurt innocent children, which is fucked up.

tl;dr some pedos are (very) bad for acting on their sexual preferences, they aren't bad for having them. Taking this conclusion a bit further - making child porn is obviously abhorrent and one of the most heinous crimes I can imagine along with rape and murder, but watching these movies once they are made without profiting the perpetrators, isn't so morally depraved. Especially if it keeps the urge to rape a child at bay.

I'd say you're pretty lucky. Just a month and a half ago, there was a package conflict for my installed BLAS due to this. Last year there were this one, and this.

It's not such a big deal, and it depends on the software you have installed. But it's something one should know could happen.

AFAIK, Opensuse Tumbleweed doesn't offer the LTS kernel... At least I haven't found any documentation on it. Could have been great.

How long have you been using it, and on how many computers?

From the Arch wiki:

Before upgrading, users are expected to visit the Arch Linux home page to check the latest news, or alternatively subscribe to the RSS feed or the arch-announce mailing list. When updates require out-of-the-ordinary user intervention (more than what can be handled simply by following the instructions given by pacman), an appropriate news post will be made.

Before upgrading fundamental software (such as the kernel, xorg, systemd, or glibc) to a new version, look over the appropriate forum to see if there have been any reported problems.

Users must equally be aware that upgrading packages can raise unexpected problems that could need immediate intervention; therefore, it is discouraged to upgrade a stable system shortly before it is required for carrying out an important task. Instead, wait to upgrade until there is enough time available to resolve any post-upgrade issues.

So unless Endeavour devs are doing anything special to make sure you can safely upgrade without checking the Arch news (and AFAIK, they don't, like most Arch based distros), you should probably check it. Of course it's a matter of chance if your system is the one that gets hit by some bug or conflict, YMMV, but eventually you'd hit a snag if you ignore Arch's devs advice.

Does Opensuse Tumbleweed offer that option?

He wanted something stable.. Arch based systems require you to read the release notes each time you upgrade to make sure there's nothing special you must do. Those who are unaware of this requirement often end up with broken systems. Also I wouldn't call Arch based systems without GUI configuration tools not being too complex... Arch is for those who like to tinker, edit lots of config text files and read man pages and wiki entries.

Personally, I like Arch Arcos and even Manjaro (Probably EOS as well, but it doesn't play well with Ventoy) - but I wouldn't recommend it to someone who just wants things to work out of the box with minimal tinkering and not require special attention when updating.

What GUI framework did you end up using in C++? Qt?
