Businesses like this always end up veering towards changing privacy policies to the worse.
And depending on your threat model, not even a good privacy policy is enough.
It sounds like you want a rolling release distribution. Which means the software repository will have versions close to upstream, or the latest versions shortly after they hit. There's plenty of those.
The best entry level rolling release distribution is, in my opinion, EndeavourOS. It is based on Arch Linux, but provides a fully working desktop out of the box. It grants you a package manager with a rolling release repository.
Next up would be Arch Linux. Similar to above, but it comes with a minimal system and you have to explicitly install most applications that aren't required to boot and start a terminal-only session, including your desktop environment.
Next up would be either gentoo or nixos. But I feel like the other two will cover your bases so I won't talk about those unless you want me to.
You made good money because of guilt tripping people into tipping 20% instead of demanding your employer pays you, and crying on social media about how waiters make almost nothing.
The entire reason people tip is out of sympathy, and restaurant workers really weaponized that. Instead of having trouble with your employer not paying you, you joined forces with them.
For the record I tip reasonably, but I find it crazy that restaurant workers do this.
The vast majority of anti-LGBT attacks in Europe, or even Germany specifically, are not Muslim.
I didn't talk about people in this thread. Sorry it wasn't clear. I'm only talking about the mod
That's awesome! Good luck on your journey and ask if any questions come up!
Daaamn 70 downvotes, I guess people are really attached to their IPAs
NixOS is a decent leap from Garuda as a first distro. And it may not be that good if the user isn't a programmer, which I'm not sure if OP is.
A lot of the comments don't fit your criteria. Everyone is just recommending the distro they like. Which is fine, but they should at least say that.
I personally don't have a good answer either. Most my experience is in minimal distros that let you built out those components yourself. It may be worth considering that option (in which case, Arch is a natural next step), but you have to explicitly install wayland / flatpak / kde / etc to fit your criteria.
I think from Garuda to slackware is too large of a leap
I learned to enjoy multiple usernames. It's just more fun. Cyclohexane is cool also!
I posted a bunch in this community before it surged in June / July. I still comment moderately here, and read comment threads moderately.
Overall I'm not super active. I would just watch my regular feed and comment threads like I currently do, and if I see something uncivil, I'll intervene. So if I am chosen, it would be ideal to have other mods as well, as I may not be enough on my own.
