Debian caring about reproducibility matters quite a lot to some people, but not most, etc
- deaddodo 3y agoYou're just reinforcing my point, not countering it. There's very little experiential difference, being superficial at best. But governing body and community differences are chasmic, meaning the Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora communities have little reason to add information for other distros to their guides; despite the instructions being 99% compatible.
- mikepurvis 3y agoAlso visible in the popularity of the Arch Linux wiki as being reliable, up-to-date "how to fix it" instructions for common problems, regardless of whether you're actually running Arch.
- deaddodo 3y agoNot sure why you downvoted my response when we're agreeing; but yes, I fully concur.
- mikepurvis 3y agoWasn't my downvote.
- jokethrowaway 3y agoThat's the reason I started using arch and that's why it's the distro I used the most (moved to nixos now, though)
- mikepurvis 3y agoRight, but most users don't care about that at all. Particularly for non-technical users who are only ever going to use the GUI frontend to the package manager, almost none of the underlying system matters at all. In a world that has almost completely standardized on grub, systemd, fhs, etc with major applications being shipped in container-like blobs (snap, flatpak, appimage) that mirror a Windows-style setup.exe workflow and then bypass the filesystem and package manager and talk right to the kernel anyway... yeah, if you're an end user, your distro choice doesn't much matter. Pick whatever has out of the box drivers for your laptop's trackpad.
