I just use pacman and yay. I avoid flatpaks as best I can, I don’t see the hype.

Yes, and we all got by fine with things the way they have mostly been. The last thing we should be advocating for is this stupid trend of removing features and calling it “user friendliness”

Give the user the ability to torch their system - it’s up to them whether they want to use things they can’t handle or not. Not up to the devs to baby-proof the software and strip abilities away from capable users.

Linux becoming mainstream would be a trap too… It will lead to the enshitification of the distros as they get more and more watered down to satisfy the average dumbass using it.
