  • I agree, also the holding back of packages just for the sake of waiting probably doesn’t make it more stable, despite what the devs say; also having 300+ packages updated at the same time might make it worse for troubleshooting in case something goes wrong.

    As someone who actually started with Manjaro back in 2020 before moving to EndeavourOS after 9 months, I would say that there is indeed a steeper learning curve as you don’t get for example a GUI package manager (Pamac is awful and even as a newbie I used it for maybe three days before I started to use the CLI, but a Linux beginner might want one) and the fact it is a true rolling release means you need to do some more research and maintenance, so I wouldn’t call Endeavour a distro for absolute beginners, unless one is determined to learn a lot about how a computer works… but again one shouldn’t probably use a rolling release then; Manjaro just tricks you to believe it is easier, but it probably is only if you don’t use the AUR.

    Maybe Garuda is more beginner friendly than EndeavourOS while avoiding most of the problems Manjaro has? Although I’ve never used it as I don’t see any advantage over Endeavour, and I’m not a fan of excessive out of the box theming and Chaotic AUR enabled as default…



  • Congratulations! I’m about to try to get a professional assessment, although in the particular region of Italy where I live it’s a long process for adults that involves getting appointments with two doctors before going to the “Regional Autism Centre”. That has discouraged me for quite some time but this sort of limbo sometimes is hard to bear and now I just want to know it for certain…


  • I use the following ones (on Firefox), except for uBO the others are just for conveniency:

    • Bitwarden
    • Gesturefy (for some time from early 2021 to late 2022 I used to use Vivaldi as my primary browser and now if I’m using a mouse, not having gestures in a browser feels odd…)
    • LibRedirect
    • Plasma Integration
    • uBlock Origin (middle mode and with some additional lists)
    • User-Agent Switcher and Manager (if I find a site that says it doesn’t work with Firefox).
