Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!
General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I've only been using it for a few months and it's been the most stable distribution I've ever used. We'll see as time goes on.
Agree, it's great for gaming or using custom kernels and such. It's an excellent base because it generally goes with the defaults provided by package maintainers.
These strengths are also weaknesses though, because oh my god I just want to connect my Bluetooth headphones and use them for the most obvious use case without needing to look up and enter commands in the terminal.
And I say this as a lifelong hobby amateur computer scientist. It's not that I'm afraid of the CLI, it's just that defaults are kind of nice sometimes. Arch is great because it's an un-opinionated Linux install, but it also refuses to make anything "plug and play" which is more than a little painful.
