Yeah, it is a tool, and it has to be used correctly. It also offers a trade off when you research some topics: You gain time, but slowly lose the ability to conduct the research yourself. If I don’t have time constraints I avoid AI, so I can maintain my skill of searching, categorizing, and piecing together information, which is a key skill in a fast moving industry (SW dev)

Also for learning I usually use it for follow-up questions, without a base understanding it can halicunate whatever and spoon feed it to my brain. Nothing can compete with an AI which designed to burp out the most sound phrases ever existed. Unfortunately correctness is not on par with it.

I often help my yunger sister, she wants to learn programing, and I noticed she uses extensive amount of AI. She can solve issues with the help of an AI but cannot solve it alone. At least its not Vibe coding, she uses it for sub-tasks. But I fear it hinders her learning.

Manjaro is way different, its spearated from the Arch repos. Never used tho, and not plannig to either.

I think so, I use EOS on my desktop, but installed no desktop environment, and installed&configured a tilling wm and other stuff for my daily use. I installed Arch on my laptop and aside from the different tilling wm (and other apps for the wm) and some sensible default helper eos apps, the pacman reports are the same.

I think everyone should use whatever they like. Its ok to share experiences, and have expectations.

I use Arch (btw) on my desktop (EOS, but why reinstall arch, basically a same thing, especially cos I installed headless, and installed/configured my tilling environment) Never had issue with Gaming, even with an Nvidia card. And I have an arch installer pendrive if I need to boot into a live environment to chroot, and I have my config/rice tailored to my workflow.

Mint on my less used laptop. Currently has prue Arch with Hyprland, but I have no time to play with configs, and update regurally. Maybe I should look into Suse or Fedora? As for desktop environment, I would like to have a tilling wm without bar (small screen) but with the eas of full DEs like KDE Plasma… no such thing as far as I know.

Ubuntu or Debian for hosted/selfhosted servers. for stability/reliability ofc.
