Maybe the decent folks have moved to derivative OSes?
So while techie absolutists stayed at Debian/Arch/RHEL,
the commons folks have gone to Linux Mint/Cachy OS/Fedora?

Can I tell you off from Arch Linux?

There are around three Linux families to choose a derivative Linux OS from,
some are more obscure ones and then some really obscure ones.
Choose one of the Linux family OSes and choose the most popular derivative of that one.
So for example Aurora is a derivative of Fedora, which is a derivative of RHEL (derivative-(in)ception).

The reasons to choose derative OSes and not one of the basic main three is that:

  1. The Linux derative OSes have bells and whistles build on top of the parent OS. This is especially true for the extremely bare bones Arch Linux, that will throw you back into 1985.
  2. And this is most important... community support! You will at some point have issues and a forum where developers and experienced users can help you out are a godsend. Derivatives tend to have better community support than the bare bone ones. I've experienced this with the Arch Linux community. I'm not sure if Debian or RHEL communities would haved fared better, but to me this community felt like having a conversation with a real life Sheldon Cooper. I am really thankful for the excellent expert level help I did get there, but I will not go there back again. And I don't know if I even can, because the last time I was there, I got banned for a third time.
    I've had great experiences on the Ubuntu, Linux Mint and Manjaro communities. Other communities from less popular Linux OSes have been too small in my experience to get help on time.

For Debian, the most popular one right now is Linux Mint, a derivative of Ubuntu (derivative-(in)ception). It used to be Ubuntu, but Ubuntu tends to take big moves and risks that don't always pay off.
Linux Mint I consider to be the safe option for beginners.
Debian is known for stability.

For Redhat it's Fedora. I haven't used it that much.
Redhat is known for good security.

For Arch it's Endeavour OS and recently Cachy OS.
It used to be Manjaro, but they fumbled a lot on security issues.
Arch is known for having the best documentation,
and the largest amount of software available,
especially made by fellow users,
and if I may add myself, having the best package manager.

I still use Manjaro myself, because I don't feel enough need to switch to a new one,
and I like the community there.

You're born female.

No, it would require usefullness compared to cost.
How are you going to use the wheel when there are no combustion engines, no roads or even domesticated horses?

Declare that pi is 3?

I see that people aren't that familiar with Rutte.
He's a perma-chameleon and master manipulator, not a lackey.

Half of his views just happen to overlap with Trump.

Rutte is a Dutch lib.
US leftists are irrelevant unless they reform or topple their regime,
with the former being the more unrealistic option.

You made it sound like anything changed.

I remember it and it's still the same with the only two differences now being that for one the
voices of the democratic socialists are slowly going back to their roots,
becoming more and more anti-NATO.
And two, the fearmongering is now geared towards Russia.
Rutte's bootlicking and increasing EU's military budget while buying US equipment is not just what Trump wanted,
but the Euro libs as well.

You just start tunneling at the right spot then.
Most people in China would only need to start in their back yard.

I've had him as prime minister of my country for many years, so this is no surprise.

Rutte is trans-atlanticist. These people will do anything to keep the peace with the US.
They're Joshua Wongers with diplomatic talent.

Don't know about any of it, but I've had Rutte as my prime minister.
This reads like the way he talks and thinks.
The biggest strength of Rutte is that he's a chameleon,
so there's no telling what he actually thinks,
but considering his party allegiance it's pro-NATO through and through.
