Arch Linux based distros (arco, Manjaro, endeavor) have my favorite package manager in the world (not pacman) but yay. I’ve tried every package manager and for me nothing comes close to yay. But the sad part is arch updates have completely destroyed every arch based distro I’ve ever had. The last one (endeavor os) literally made me hate Linux for awhile, because I put a great deal of work and love into setting up a desktop environment, configuring the hell out of my terminal and my dev environment and one update just destroyed my whole desktop. It takes me more than 2 days to completely get my Linux desktop configured to where I like it, and endeavoros just breaking my desktop environment really demoralized me from trying to set up another Linux box again for a long time, so I just went back to my super stable MacBook that wasn’t as fun or ergonomic but at the end of the day it’s never given me serious issues. Of course I’m back to using Linux, this time with stable old Ubuntu.
I’ve been an athlete since a child so in some weird way I guess I’ve been raised to just enjoy the discomfort of working out because I know the reward is tenfold of whatever discomfort I’m feeling while working out. So basically don’t raise sedentary kids, give them a love of working out so they can live a healthy and happy life.
Lately it’s been Islam, because of the clean living aspect. Like they consider alcohol, cigarettes, pork, and anything bad for you a sin. And I do respect that about their religion, it’s a good value to have in your life.
