It does but theirs a certain auth plugin/security setting they enable that only works with chrome

I think this just bases off Debian stable which makes it not too bad

Are any commonly used desktop distros debian based besides Ubuntu ? Ubuntu derivatives are not as they follow the latest upstream packages 1:1 usually iirc. Monjaro has its own dependency update schedule so it creates a new userspace dependency set to build against. If 10 distros follow the same thing we have 10 different timestamps of arch you have to build against.

Maybe my info is out of date, I just use arch & fedora.

thankfully so

Soon we will have forks of arch forks and each one will have a completely different set of dependencies depending on when the owners decide to freeze the package. Then someone will use it and wonder why theirs so many bugs

I use Linux for work and our company requires chrome to view Google Docs and such

I have a dream, that one day people will stop making arch derivatives that fragment the user space even more

Im curious what you felt was a downgreade. I think its much better designed but I feel it lacks so many more features vs modern Linux

Add a 3rd Dimensions and you will find BSD chads laughing at us from their jail’s
