• My roommate is rebuilding his Volkswagen 2012 Golf R’s engine right now. We were watching on YouTube, you can get a whole engine on Alibaba for like $500. Seems like it’s 50/50 of it working and being like a brand new car, or just a huge clusterfuck that won’t run and turns into a shitshow disaster

• I’m an electrician and would do it myself if I wasn’t covered by trees with a house facing north in one of the least sunny parts of the country lol

• I mean they have their own repos and take a position of “hardened updates” that are two weeks older than the bleeding edge ones of Arch. I used it briefly out of curiosity a couple years ago. It seemed generally fine, although I seem to remember having issues with some AUR stuff. That’s kinda to be expected and could even just be general fuckery on the part of the package maintainers, not manjaro. It could also be on manjaro’s fault lol.

  I’ve just stuck to Arch since then. Garuda and endeavour OS are both cool but I don’t feel like I’m gaining much by using either. And Garuda includes a bunch of packages that I don’t even want.

  I’m more interested in what manjaro can do in the mobile phone sphere. If they can build something viable yet fun to tinker with in the next few years that has a rolling release schedule, it could make for a cool Linux phone. Ubuntu touch is probably the more stable choice tbh, but that’s the beauty of Linux.
