Thanks for that, it looks much nicer than Latex!

Good to know regarding the (non) stutters! Is there a mechanism to reconnect applications to the compositor after a crash so that they'd survive? (or at least a plan to make such a mechanism?)

Haven't they started working on Cosmic instead of using Gnome and gtk because Gnome devs restricted theming? It sounds weird that they'd be able to import their themes to gtk apps, when it was the trigger for their move in the first place.

Looks very nice, hopefully they'd fix the stutters visible in the tiling example before the final version. Also, I wonder if they also keep applications alive in case of compositor crash, like KDE would in Plasma 6 (but Gnome does not yet, AFAIK).

Vizia looks really nice, but the book only covers a counter example... Sadly, this is the state of most Rust GUI libraries at the moment...

Well done :) I specifically best like 3, but my description probably applies to all of them.

It was not long ago that homosexuality was also categorized as deviation in psycho-sexual development. The American Psychiatric Association listed homosexuality in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 1952. In 1968, DSM-II also listed homosexuality as a mental disorder. Not until 1987 did homosexuality completely fall out of the DSM. Pedophilia is in the DSM just, as opposed to Homosexuality, because it could possibly cause harm to others - that's the sole distinction.

There were no big studies regarding the effects of consuming child porn, but the little there is seems to suggest it does not exacerbate the condition, or lead to higher probability of a physical offense: https://bmcpsychiatry.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-244X-9-43

Moreover, child pornography seems to be a protective factor, according to Diamond, Jozifkova and Weis (2010). They examined the number of sexual offenses that took place in Czechoslovakia from the 70’s till the end of 2007. At the end of 1989 the velvet revolution took place; the Czech Republic became a democracy and the prohibition of pornography was lifted. During the next 17 years child pornography was accepted. Initially one would expect that the number of sexually abused children would increase, but Diamond and his colleagues concluded the opposite. During the same 17 years, they found a decrease in the number of cases of sexual abused children. Also in Japan and Denmark child sexual abuse decreased in the period when child pornography was not prohibited.

In fact, there's a suggested investigation for treatment utilizing virtual child porn.

Yep. It's fun in coop mode.

I'm a pretty strange dad with coordination issues.

You command one or several cities and gangs of creatures (some of them beasts, some presumably sentient), lead by a person who's armor and sword somehow makes the other creatures in his group stronger. These gangs capture other cities and fight other gangs, but they're very civil - they let each take their turn at it.

It's always best to fire your top general just before going to war. He must have learned that from Stalin and Putin.

So they're fine with cheating with someone's wife, but without kissing?

If you don't say it, they don't exist.

Pedophilia is a mental condition, much like homosexuality. They don't choose to be one, they know it's wrong. I bet there are plenty of closeted pedos (i.e. don't act on their urges and trying to lead normal lives). The only difference is that homosexuality occurs between consenting adults, and doesn't hurt anyone except for the sensibilities of some righteous pious {profanity}, while pedos hurt innocent children, which is fucked up.

tl;dr some pedos are (very) bad for acting on their sexual preferences, they aren't bad for having them. Taking this conclusion a bit further - making child porn is obviously abhorrent and one of the most heinous crimes I can imagine along with rape and murder, but watching these movies once they are made without profiting the perpetrators, isn't so morally depraved. Especially if it keeps the urge to rape a child at bay.

I'd say you're pretty lucky. Just a month and a half ago, there was a package conflict for my installed BLAS due to this. Last year there were this one, and this.

It's not such a big deal, and it depends on the software you have installed. But it's something one should know could happen.

I've installed Arch, Arcos and Manjaro (from the Arch based distros). Manjaro and Arcos are faster and easier to install and setup compared to Arch. Manjaro has nice GUI to select kernel, GPU drivers and install software (and does not automatically move you to the newest kernel, as opposed to Arch or Arcos). They had fucked up (I think 3 times) with renewing their SSL certificate, and for a short while their ISOs were unverifiable (not that big of an issue if you ask me). Since they delay their packages' updates, running them in testing for a few months for extra stability, installing from AUR is bound to break.

I've installed Manjaro on 3 computers, and worked with it extensively for about 3 years. It's a decent distro that doesn't deserve all the hate it gets.

AFAIK, Opensuse Tumbleweed doesn't offer the LTS kernel... At least I haven't found any documentation on it. Could have been great.

How long have you been using it, and on how many computers?

From the Arch wiki:

Before upgrading, users are expected to visit the Arch Linux home page to check the latest news, or alternatively subscribe to the RSS feed or the arch-announce mailing list. When updates require out-of-the-ordinary user intervention (more than what can be handled simply by following the instructions given by pacman), an appropriate news post will be made.

Before upgrading fundamental software (such as the kernel, xorg, systemd, or glibc) to a new version, look over the appropriate forum to see if there have been any reported problems.

Users must equally be aware that upgrading packages can raise unexpected problems that could need immediate intervention; therefore, it is discouraged to upgrade a stable system shortly before it is required for carrying out an important task. Instead, wait to upgrade until there is enough time available to resolve any post-upgrade issues.

So unless Endeavour devs are doing anything special to make sure you can safely upgrade without checking the Arch news (and AFAIK, they don't, like most Arch based distros), you should probably check it. Of course it's a matter of chance if your system is the one that gets hit by some bug or conflict, YMMV, but eventually you'd hit a snag if you ignore Arch's devs advice.

Does Opensuse Tumbleweed offer that option?

He specifically asked for a minimal distro, that was why I brought it up.
