EndeavourOS, or vanilla Arch Linux by using the Archinstall script that comes with the iso file (or the old fashioned way of following the Arch Wiki and doing it manually through the command line, if you're up for it). Personally, I'd go with Endeavour. Not only because I'm lazy, it's rock solid in general, and easy to install via the GUI installer (by comparison, the Archinstall interface is...passable, IMO), Archinstall can sometimes fail, and it can be...weird with what it leavws out (ex: I tried Archinall and XFCE once. Still had to install the user dictionaries post installation. Never found out if it still does that in the newer iso's).

Do keep in mind that Endeavour is on the light-ish side, you might need to install a couple of things to make it feel more feature complete, and also you'll have to use the terminal for updating the system, installing stuff, and maintanance--tho nothing is stopping you from grabbing Pamac of the AUR (which is set up and ready to go on first boot) and doing stuff through there instead like you did in Manjaro.

Oh, no, I didn't mean it as it's something that has to be done, tho rereading my comment i can see where that's implied, I meant it more as:

Paying for the cab fare does not suddenly make the person you slept with a prostitute (that's what i got from OP's comment. That as soon as money was added into the equation, he's suddenly with an escort), hence "that's another story".

It isn't a must on your part to cough up cash for the other person at all, but I dunno, I feel like the least you can do is offer to pitch in if it's not gonna inconvenience you and she's not being rude about shit (in this case, it's hard to tell for me if she was); but that's a me thing. When you're raised to offer your help when you can and you lived in the not-so-nice parts of town most of your life...yeah, I tend to ask anyone that's with me if they can make it home alright and offer to help somehow if I'm able to. I understand if people can't or don't wanna do the same, tho admittedly, I sometimes forget that it's not like, the standard response, you get me?

The screaming Opossum

Paying for the sex? If she isn't an escort or if money wasn't discussed at all, she's not getting paid jack.

Paying for the taxi ride home is another story and is probably not gonna break the bank.

No, worries, nothing to apologize for, honestly!

As far as I'm aware, I think just walking away from a sea lion is the best course of action. Except, well, I wasn't sealioning.

I gave him the chance to explain what I was missing was ONCE(and literally going "I'm not picking a fight or being a smartass, just curious of where my screwup was"), and he just threw "figure it out" at me ...tbf, I did basically prove his original statement wrong, so it could've been that

At the risk of asking a stupid question: is there a viable alt?

Now that's art, if I do say so myself

Tactical and adorable. nice.

Oh, I'm more than sure this like, a hard two on the scale of "how wild a situation this can devolve into", but opening as an argument...i mean, is that even an arguement/discussion at that point? (Unless it's throwing it down when someone shows up to debate you without doing basic research like thatweirdguy1001 commented. That i can understand)

Fair enough, that's one way to look at it. It is also very easy to waste too much energy on pointless arguing.

Huh, today I learned about sea lioning. Neat!

I agree that people tend to romanticize thier side, even without meaning to sometimes. In this case, I was honestly just confused about the complaints, and when I basically got told I didn't get some basic concept (no other info as to what said basic concept was), i was like "he's probably doing this in bad faith but you never know" because hey, maybe I did miss something. I'm not perfect. So I stressed that i wasn't trying to be a smartass or pick a fight while commenting. Still got told to figure it out when trying to ask for clarification and leaving on a civil note. shrug

I could even link ya the video where I commented so the context is shown
