How is it a scam? They're offering a service and asking for a price. It's the same thing everywhere in software, if you want longer support you need to pay up.

Downstream distros are a bit of a special case, as they don't really test these packages so much as inherit them from upstream, so what you're actually getting is ubuntu's and debian's version of GNOME in Mint for example. If you're going to do that, I'd just cut out the middleman and go upstream here as Mint isn't bringing anything of value, worse it's just another vector for untested bugs.

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=297558. this is just the first thing that came up, i'm sure there are hundreds of similar bugs. bottom line is when you install two things next to each other that aren't being actively tested together, you're bound to run into issues.

My recommendation is that if there are no spin with your favorite DE, you simply do not use that distribution as it's not being tested against.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Switching desktop environments can be tricky, it's better to do a clean install - especially for dotfiles which can cause bugs, and get the distro spin that you want from the get-go.

Nautilus already features the tree-view as an option which lets you "jump" laterally, it's in the preferences as "Expandable Folders in List View". Personally i prefer moving up and down the file hierarchy, you have less information to process and you can navigate with the mouse button shortcuts.

I'll take the faster loading thumbnails instead, thanks.

There's no arch hate, it's just not a distribution for new users. Your downstream distribution might be a bit better at handling the arch quirks by default, but i guarantee you it doesn't go through the same testing that new Fedora solutions go through before new releases for example. I'm glad you found something that suited you, but for most people, people that will never try to bypass the immutability in the first place, Bazzite is better ootb.

That's already a thing though? It's up to the applications to implement their shortcuts through xdg-portal.

Bazzite is downstream from fedora, which i'll remind you is partially handled by red hat, aka a large ass company with "a lot of money to throw into things". The bazzite developers only handle a smaller portion of the maintenance that distributions require, and really only as much as they want and are confident in handling.

You probably have a higher q angle than usual for men which changes your preferred sitting position, it's not that big a deal.

It's just about bone structure at the hips, it's more comfortable for us to sit legs apart.
