I primarily use it for C++ in Unreal Engine and use it almost exclusively to write log statements. The way to log something is done via a macro like so:

UE_LOG(LogCategory, Warning, TEXT(“My variable: %s”), *SomeStringVar)

Writing that boilerplate soup gets tiresome after a while, so having Copilot autocomplete the log statement for me based on other statements in the same file and the context of the function is godsend.

It does of course happen that the text contents are wrong, but then I have that skeleton to work with. Just erase the text and type the correct contents I want. Saves so much time.

I used Manjaro for about a year around 2019 and it was awful.

I liked its selling point on being based on Arch and having access to AUR, but the official repositories would only have stuff that is vetted to work on the current release of Manjaro (at least that’s what I had heard about Manjaro at the time)

The amount of times a package update shit the floor is too many to count.

Before that I was using Ubuntu and for the most part it was fine.

The first distro I used was Mint since the desktop environments, Cinnamon, resembled Windows XP.
