Just skimmed my AUR install list, and yea most of them seem to be on there, good to know! If my laptop ever shits the bed, I’ll give this a shot haha.

I keep hearing about NixOS, is it possible to leverage both NixOS and the AUR from arch?

As others have said, Ubuntu is great for non-technical users. The only issue I could forsee is drivers. Apt loves to brick itself after 1 mistake. Since apt lags behind it may not support new hardware, forcing you to download drivers elsewhere, which is a recipe for disaster.

Task manager is one of the few Windows apps that works really well. Glad to see the design making it’s way to Linux.
