sometimes issues crop up with bleeding-edge updates, just keep an eye on the forums before updating.

So to me, that sounds not ideal for someone new to Linux.

I know someone who was fed up with Windows recently, and they decided it’s finally time to switch to Linux. Me and another person recommended Linux Mint, but they got many other recommendations for Arch. They went with Arch, and it hasn’t gone boom yet, but I’m not sure if it’s a matter of time or what.

I have heard Arch is more “stable” these days than it used to be, but I’m not sure.

I use Ubuntu myself except for on my ThinkPad where I use Mint, and I’m gonna switch to Mint on my desktop eventually.

That said, I’ll take what you said on faith, because I think you’re spot on with everything else.

I mean, it’s not a secret that governments everywhere run really outdated software (think things like Windows 7 and older) because “it works”, so it really shouldn’t be too surprising.

Yep, just like serverless computing that doesn’t use servers, or how games benefit heavily from the blockchain and companies are always hiring blockchain devs despite not knowing what the blockchain is or why they need blockchain devs other than because they heard they need it.

Don’t get me started with IoT.

Nope, people in IT know that the cloud is just someone else’s computer lol

They sent thoughts and prayers.

I feel like the reason the reason why it’s taking off so much is because it’s not federated.

It’s like people hear the term federation and they get afraid. I know it’s not that simple but still.

In other words, people don’t know what they actually need.
