But the AUR is (was?) the much tauted reason to use it! I had a pretty bad time with Arch and its derivatives, but I wonder if Arch + flatpak + distrobox (steamOS, basically?) could be great these days. Probably.

Man, I tried Sabayon twice (both a long time ago) and quickly regretted it both times. In my experience, it was extremely fragile. I had used Gentoo at the time and had a mostly good time with it, and wanted to try something that set it up easily.

I happen to agree with your assessment that talking like a pirate when you're being circumspect about copyright infringement is cringe. (Moer liek incringement, amirite?) I don't usually love to make judgements like that, but man, so-called "pirates" need to lighten up. They think they're warriors on the frontline of an important battle, but they're just downloading anime or whatever without paying. I do it too, but getting all self righteous about it is EMBARRASSING.

I can imagine such a scenario. I can imagine being a manager of a team, and having someone come in and say that, and just feeling dread and sympathy. You're right, and not all employment situations are the same, not all managers are psychopaths. For many, though, they are not working under such "managers."

But I'm grateful to you for pushing back against the pervading darkness in our collective mind. Let it not, however, dampen our efforts to seek a remedy.
