Also, different solutions have different benefits and downsides, and are better in different scenarios.

That's because of users, not OS.. right?

It's a factor, but constantly upgrading to the newest version of software does come with risks. I've had Arch and derivatives fail to boot on multiple devices plenty of times after an update.

Some people say that they run arch for years without having any issues, but that's either extreme luck or bs.

I love to deal with problems but I don't want to waste my time.

You can usually just use a btrfs snapshot to rollback, boot, and try to update later. But there were situations when I had to use arch-chroot, and it can be problematic to install new packages in that situation.

All setups have tradeoffs, but I'd wholeheartedly suggest a stable distro like MX and nix + home-manager. It avoids all of the previously mentioned issues, and comes with other benefits. Do note that you might need to make or copy a hyprland.desktop file because home-manager can only alter files in your ~.

Sure, but if you do that, and then follow it up with often outage and security issues, I'm going to seriously rethink using your services.

Oh, yes we have. Gitlab, Codeberg, Notabug, etc. You can even host your own Gitea or Forgejo instance if you want.

Self-hosting is right out for most people. It's pretty expensive to even get started without compromising your home network (router with VLAN, switch, multiple servers (at least thinclients)), and then on top of that you need to maintain it, and can't really ever max out your download/upload speeds because people are depending on your internet to interact with the repo.

Gitlab is also for-profit, but also has blackouts and devs going rm -rf on the production DB. It's often in the news for bad things, so I've generally avoided it.

Codeberg is great for personal repos, but most smaller git hosting services have horrible SEO. Like I've had issues finding repos when searching for their exact name, if I had to use general search terms I'd only see github repos.

Gitlab: For profit (wouldn’t say it’s much better than github)

It's got that added excitement that comes with a risk of someone doing a rm -rf on the production DB

You're not using KDE connect perhaps?

Aaah, so that's why it takes them so long to update packages.

I'll bet you anything they're not reading the code for every random package and dependency. But yeah, with free distros it's at least possible to read everything that's on your machine.

It's not, Xfce can only have one systray
