Not the first time this has happened, but recently the Snap store from Canonical hosted a scam bitcoin app that claimed to be Exodus wallet that caused a user to lose money.
If you game, definitely Fedora. If its mostly work, it doesn’t really matter…
FYI is going to include opt out telemetry in the near future if the proposal ends up passing. (If its not already decided)
You could also check out Opensuse Tumbleweed, since it’s future proof and requires zero maintenance unlike arch. However, Arch is definitely one the most minimal distros.
IMO there’s nothing about Arch, or any other distro, that makes it worth using, beyond whatever goals you have. If Arch helps you accomplish that goals, great. If not, pick a different distro that does.
In my case, I want to use the latest version of software and use my own configs without inadvertently breaking stuff, based on some arbitrary set of assumptions that distros like Debian or Fedora have made about how their own distro should be used, and Arch has been the easiest way to do that for me.
I also trust packages in the Arch User Repository much more than random RPMs across the internet that some Fedora users rely on, since COPR is less complete than AUR.
sudo snap remove * && sudo apt purge -y snapd && sudo apt install -y gnome-software-plug-flatpak

after you feel like hopping
i’m between debian & fedora, what do you like about arch?

nice
Until you upgrade to next semiannual version and it installs snap back
I swore to myself if they ever pulled this microsoft move again id hop, but they seem to have stopped doing it for now.
Oh that’s good to hear. I hopped to Debian when they installed snap and changed Firefox to snap version in 22.04 or something
