I use Mint, PopOS, or Arch/EndeavourOS more or less interchangeably. I've sincerely never had any issues with Arch's stability. The term "stable" when describing a distro refers more to the package versions than system stability or overall reliability. Things aren't necessarily broken cause they're more up to date. Back in 2020, my laptop didn't play well with Ubuntu 20.04 because of some power management issue caused by a kernel bug. My only real option was getting off of LTS and switching to 20.10 which had a newer fixed kernel version. So in effect, the Ubuntu LTS was less "stable" for me because of them keeping the kernel version stable.

YMMV, obviously, but most of what I'm doing when doing a fresh install is installing the packages I need, and configuring them. I can do this pretty much regardless of the distro. Most of the difference is if those packages are available in the first place, and how I'll have to install them if they aren't in the base repositories. Configs/dotfiles are usually pretty portable. The rest is just well... Linux as usual.

Has to be Manjaro or EndeavourOS. If they're just getting their teeth in, my guess is on the former.

I mean, you do have it codified in your Constitution as its very first amendment. Now, how much is it really protected, in practice...

That's still quite massive for a driver based fix alone.

This. If anything, they wanted to claw back some of that Blackberry market. Apple wasn't even on anybody's mind yet on the mobile side of things.

He specifically said "unit tests" though, which aren't black box tests by definition

If you trust your barber's work quality, you can always straight up ask him for input. I told mine I don't want to deal with styling my hair every day, but would still look fine if shaped. He asked a couple questions on my preferences - clipped and/or faded sides and back, length, integrating the beard or not, etc. Then off he went. I keep going back despite him being a bit more expensive than all options around cause I just don't have to worry if I'll like it.

A CLA isn't worrying and in of itself. Not all CLAs are made equal. No idea about Audacity's specifically.

"You" being who?

Edit: it was a genuine follow-up question to a statement that I feel could have been interpreted in a couple of ways, and his answer did give some precisions on his position, which is why I wanted to ask, rather than assume. No idea why refusing to judge hastily warrants downvotes lol

Sandisk MP3 player stuff has always been kind of meh, IMHO. It's mostly that the wide market quality stuff has disappeared. A similar thing happened with CD players when MP3 players became commonplace. Barely anybody buys them anymore, so the only brands still doing it are probably just recycling old designs and doing with whatever hardware they can get batches of on the cheap.
