EndeavourOS is the real Arch, with some additional repos and some sensible defaults.

Now that iPhones have RCS messaging, is something like this still desired? Can’t everyone just use RCS instead (assuming that everyone has a somewhat modern phone/OS that supports RCS). Or am I not seeing something here?

You felt the need to tell us that it’s „far superior“, but won’t even mention a single argument.

While there may be a way to upgrade, general consensus is that it’s not possible and you should reinstall.

If you’re somewhat tech savvy, don’t have anything against the high seas and absolutely need Windows, look into Windows 10 LTSC.

Distrobox is probably what you’re looking for.

So what? I’m not a fan of Fortnite as well, but let people enjoy what they want.

Apple TV is a bit pricey, but at least it’s ad-free. Connect it to a modern TV without internet access, stream your Jellyfin (or Plex) media via Infuse and you are good to go.

Full desktop environment with decent window tiling.

Your BIOS definitely got upgraded, what you’re seeing is actually the new BIOS version. MSI said they simplified the UI because the BIOS ROM size is pretty limited and they want to support as many CPUs as possible.

Wait, you’re telling me that the price on the shelf doesn’t include tax where you live?

While this is good advice in general, it doesn’t apply as much in OPs use case since he’s using an immutable distro.

Don’t feed the troll…

From the Hyprland wiki:

A special workspace is what is called a “scratchpad” in some other places. A workspace that you can toggle on/off on any monitor.

Since GNOME definitely doesn’t support workspaces per monitor (and I haven’t seen an extension that does), I don’t think this is possible.

It’s kind of a loophole, the technique is not meant for sideloading. It allows developers to test their app on a real device, but because you only need the IPA file for this, you can use it for sideloading.

You can sideload in a way, but it’s a bit annoying. Unless you pay for an Apple Developer account (IIRC about 100$ a year), you’ll have to re-sideload the app every 7 days.

Some people prefer a Mac because it integrates nicely with the rest of the Apple ecosystem.

Because there is only one alternative (Xorg/X11), and it’s pretty outdated and not really maintained anymore.

For now it’s probably still fine, but in a couple of years everything will probably use Wayland.

AFAIK we still need this merge request here for it to actually affect 99% of games, because they all run with Xwayland, right? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/967

Just take a look at the video on the main page, it demonstrates it pretty well: https://hyprland.org/
