FOSS projects tend to be nice with their communities because if you piss off enough tech savvy people, your project just gets forked. Sooner or later there is a fork that everybody will recommend instead of the original project.

I'm yet to find a person who likes Snap, actually. Even if you prefer that way of installation, people just go to Flatpak.

My congratulations on your discharge, because only someone who's been in a coma these past few days haven't heard people screaming from each and every corner about how bad the thing is.

Just check the comments under their announcement video, for example.

Outside of specialized B2B software, I never met a tech rep that would be helpful with an issue. Do you actually have experience where you'd call Google/Apple/Microslop and get help with their software? In Linux world, with many programs I can just go and nag the actual developer of the thing, which often works wonders.

Excuse me, they do what now? Do you have a source on this? Because I know of this little article, but that was quite a long time ago.

I mean, it doesn't magically appear on the device. You pay for the installation, it's just included in the price of the device (with Windows you also pay for the license key, by the way). There are companies that'll install Linux for you. Hell, pay me $30 and cover shipping, I'll gladly set you up with, I don't know, Fedora and even add a timer with notifications that'll nag you about package updates, just like Android does.

One of the reasons Manjaro lost a lot of users is that there are better alternatives now. If you want more or less vanilla Arch, but easy to install, go for EndeavourOS. If you want Arch that's optimized for performance, you have CachyOS.

May I offer you a candle in these trying times?

いえ、気にしないでください。

I have a fix for your problem. Install Gentoo.
