Changing from arch to fedora was mostly based on his ties with Red Hat. I am still waiting here for ANY REASON for a private person to chose ANYTHING from red hat, without having ties with them. Their documentation is horrid and mostly hidden behind some kind of login bullshit.

Edit: Also the take on KDE "being" bloated. It misses the point. KDE has so many moving cogs that it gets quite hard to fix issues you come across. That is why its "bloated". Nobody is complaining about working features which are useful. But if some window rules are bugging out, good luck fixing that on KDE.

This is not true. Also this is shepherding to a false definition of security.

This needs to be at the top. Starforged is amazing, because Ironsworn is an amazing system. All the influences you mentioned in starting post are also mentioned as influences for the making of Starforged. The only problem I see, is that your focus on mechanical system for the ship stuff.

Ptba is inherently not as mechanical as other meta systems. But I highly recommend checking it out.

Second suggestion would be Stars without Numbers, Crawford is praised for almost every release he does. You can't go wrong for Sci Fi with his system, it offers quite more crunch than Starforged (from my knowledge, I didn't read or play SWN myself!). But it offers, similar to Starforged, amazing tools for building worlds in a scifi setting, which can be used in any other system you might prefer.

Your experience with FreeBSD compared to OpenBSD is very similar to mine 5 years ago. Didn't manage to get FreeBSD working but OpenBSD install was pretty easy. Although the performance still sucked compared to Linux.

This is how mac user do statistics?

There is no great/simple linux music player with proper cover display. Eliza was so wonky when I tried it months ago, the most simple functions didn't work properly (like sorting for release year etc.)

Yea my brain can't comprehend any other game, please enlighten me Mr. Right. Sheesh, get off your high horse.

Thanks for pulling corner cases from dark places... not sure if we misunderstand but my point was as written, you use the package manager/repository which ships with your distro. So the original quote was:

I wouldn’t worry too much about the package manager, just worry about whether the distro has a good package repository. Which in my opinion is misleading at best.

Users not being aware of what kind of package they install on their system and how AUR packages can conflict with normal repo packages. Additionally its a big security risk if you cannot/don't read the code.

AUR is basically like installing software from some kind of online source which is not supervised by anyone.

Still no reason to use the flatpak if a repo packet exists.

Exactly the reason I would advise any newbie to stay away from AUR or Arch alltogether.

Noooooo. If you recommend BSD then FreeBSD. OpenBSD offers security, no desktop user needs. I doubt performancewise that OpenBSD can compare to debian.
