Considering switching to rolling release disto

Rolling is nice, yes, but consider this. Upon the standardizatiot of flatpak and snaps I have all but abandoned arch. App availability is through the roof an every os, apps are sandboxed and more secure, update themselves, and are easily available. The only advantage something like arch has now is bloat cutdown; but guess what? POP_OS starts out empty and you get the tools yourself. Ubuntu makes it easy to uninstall everything and start fresh. And fedora probably has the apps you want packaged in anyways.

On top of all this, LTS no longer means ‘old and shitty’ to me. Theres an up to date kernel that utilizes all of my hardware and I have no dliver issues whatsoever.

Arch has only been throwing a hissy fit lately and I’m tired of it. As a now 4 year arch user, I’m done. At least for now.
