  • Definitely, you have to want to learn Linux fast and possibly a little more painful if you choose that path. Especially that SteamOS comparison annoys me, you spend basically all your time in a completely sandboxed environment with that (Steam uses Flatpaks for everything) so it has very little to do with Arch for most users!



  • They aren’t unstable perse but there are always issues with some update and as a beginner with no clue about Linux I even struggled to solve Mints very rare issues, I think it’s better to learn Linux first or that person might have a very frustrating experience!



  • It’s better than it used to be but for gaming a Debian base can still get in your way and if you don’t mind the change in interface anyway it might be worth checking out Nobora. That’s a gaming focused edition of Fedora by Glorious Eggroll, the creator of a really cool version of Valves Proton called ProtonGE and highly regarded in the community! It’s basically Fedora with a few modifications and great defaults for gaming and only a Gnome version.











  • They include extensive Telemetry as well, fired most of their employees while significantly increasing the executive pay once which lead to the death of various projects most notably Servo, they perform experiments on their users without notice, the build in tracking blocker is anything but great and they repeatedly defended Google for very shitty moves (probably because that’s who pays them), they spread rumors about Google ending payment once to cash out and they keep inventing products in the hope of even more money most of which goes to talentless executives rather than development.

    This list is out of my head and might not be 100% accurate and complete but what I can promise you is that Mozilla sucks too! :/
