Most people think it’s a single executable that does everything and breaks unix philosophy, rather than a suite of tools that adhere to it, which is what it is.

I want per device firewall and DNS rules for myself, the wife and the kids. With opnsense or pfsense I don’t believe this is possible with SLAAC, which is what android only supports.

Shove all devices on a flat network with no special firewall rules and you are probably golden. But trying to control your own network, last few times I’ve tried, is impossible.

They refuse to support DHCP6 and will only use SLAAC on Android devices.

Ipv6 is broken for those that want control over their home networks thanks to Google and terribly written RFCs.

All that was needed was an extra byte or two of address space, but no, some high and mighty evangelicals in their ivory towers built something that few people understand 30 years later. Their die hard fans are sure that this will be the year of ipv6. The Year of Linux on the Desktop will come 10 years before the year of ipv6.

I had Slackware running on a couple of 386 machines with 200MB hard disks. It was impossible to do almost anything as it was all compile from source but I didn’t have the disk space to install all the compiler tools and what I was trying to run on them. I was originally going to use them as part of a distributed system for my degree, but in the end I didn’t use them and did something different instead.

I used CentOS at work a lot for several years and liked it, but only fully switched form Windows at home 10 years ago and I went to Ubuntu at the time. Installed KDE on it, messed around with i3 and had a great time. I then went hopping and landed on Endeavour OS which I’ve been really enjoying for many years now and have no intention of moving from. All my servers still run Ubuntu LTS Server as it has been unbelievably solid.

Sounds like something written at the likes of Manjaro which differ enough from plain Arch for it to be problematic.

To be honest, with EOS the point is moot - they have their own excellent forums and if you do insist on going to the Arch forums, just say you’re using Arch.

Jist install EndeavourOS. You’ll get the wallpaper and the best distro to boot.

Can confirm EOS works beautifully with Steam and has done for all the years I’ve used it.
