    I got tired of Microsoft. I had seen that Linux was now good enough for what I wanted to so, so I decided to jump ship.

    It wasn’t a quick decision. I only transitioned from Windows because I finally got around upgrading the PC.

    So far? I mean, there was the kerfuffle with the AUR recently. And I still haven’t figured out a few issues here and there. But damn it just works and there is no worrying about updating or not updating or anything like it.

      no worrying about updating or not updating

      What? Isn’t the entire AUR attack a vast net of worry cast on all update managers and the digital supply chain? Linux has suddenly become much riskier to use in recent years, even as it’s also steadily improved otherwise. We need to be just as brutally honest about its pitfalls as much as we can praise it over its strengths, lest we deceive ourselves and others.
