    This isn't going to do anything. I feel like this was made to make subsequent internet control laws easier to implement.

    Not for me, no. But for many others it will.

    At what cost? I would never trust a company like Riot where farting at your employees is normal behavior to have a rootkit on my PC.

    I believe in C and C++, header files could be auto generated by the compiler most of the time.

    No performance impact as far as I know. Might be even better perf due to better dependency management. Also thanks for reminding me, will fix that ASAP lol.

    I'll answer the title: Yes! I would otherwise forget to read anyone's new posts. RSS feed are essential for me because I read so many blogs.

    Then we wouldn't get anything done. Which would probably be a good thing.

    It's pretty good except for the codec situation can be painful if you need it for some reason. For that you should check out rpm-fusion for 3rd party codec repos.

    I mostly run it vanilla since I have AMD GPU so everything just works. Nvidia needs installing the proprietary drivers by hand, which I think are also from rpm-fusion.

    Kubuntu/Ubuntu without the LTS version is also a solid choice if you want something Ubuntu based. They also have the 6 month cycle, but they don't update as fast as Fedora i think.

    Edit: As for DE, I recommend KDE Plasma due to it being very moldable and very windows-like by default. And I am bit biased since I am a KDE dev :)

    You don't need rolling release like arch. Just consistent release. 3-6 months. Fedora does this perfectly, it has updates every other day for all the things you use. You don't get the newest things immediately like on Arch, but after some time of testing.

    edit: This is in comparison to distros like debian, where things update every 2 years. Rather have update every now and then than 2 years.

    The worst bugs are often in the system apps, not in regular apps. But yes, it's better nowadays.

    Avoid "Long Term Stable" distros. They get updates very slowly so if you find a bug, which is probably already fixed, you have to wait for year or two to get it fixed. They're good for server use...

    Avoid "Long Term Stable" distros. They get updates very slowly so if you find a bug, which is probably already fixed, you have to wait for year or two to get it fixed. They're good for server use or enterprise use, but I would never have one on my home system.

    I recommend Fedora KDE because it actually gets updates. Kubuntu non-LTS might also work really well.
