    I use Arch (btw). It’s not that I prefer ir over others for anything in particular, i’m just used to it by now.

    (that’s my personal laptop, the computers in my offices are either Debian or Ubuntu)

      It’s funny, I switched off Arch… probably 8 or 9 years ago now, and went to Fedora. At that point I just kind of became a Linux user, instead of a Linux enthusiast. I moved to the Apple ecosystem about two years ago, getting sick of Google’s shit and deciding to go all in.

      Now I’m coming back to the fold, and getting back to AOSP since I still don’t want to deal with Google’s bullshit. As I get deeper into ROMs, I’m realizing just how uncomfortable I am in Fedora. It’s easy, it works, but there’s a certain lack of control that really makes me uneasy. As I start messing around with Arch again in a VM getting ready to install on my Thinkpad, and in WSL on my work laptop, it’s like I never left. Sure, I have to learn a bunch of new stuff because a lot has changed in almost a decade. But it’s less about Arch, and more about changes in the Linux landscape. I feel so much more comfortable, like coming home after a long time away.
