I tried both Manjaro and Endeavour early in my distro hoping days. Endeavor, like others have said, is basically Arch with a good installer and some good defaults, but it is still Arch, which requires you to pay more attention and get more involved in your OS.
Manjaro was kind of an “easier Arch” for me until they pushed an update and black-screened every one of my computers. Twice.
After that, I was done, which is a shame because I rather liked it.
I think that the closest thing you will find to PastePal is CopyQ.

America should have stopped giving them funding decades ago.
Fuck Netanyahu right in the ass with a 2x4

One nice thing about switching providers is that it gives you the opportunity to rid yourself of years of built-up cruft and spam.

RockyC@lemm.eeto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Whats on your USB stick? Looking for recommendations for handy toolsEnglish19·1 year agoDo yourself a favor and skip the USB drive - they are ridiculously slow compared to a compact external SSD. I found a cheap m.2 enclosure on Amazon and put an old SSD in it and the speed difference is breathtaking.
My SSD has a bunch of Linux distros grouped into folders along with Windows 10 & 11, every macOS from 10.13 to present, along with Rescuezilla, Hiren’s and a few others I can’t remember at the moment.
Rescuezilla was my #1 go-to during my days of distro hopping. Makes it super easy to try out a distro on bare metal instead of a VM.
I am having this exact same problem on my MacBook Air running Ultramarine Linux, a Fedora derivative.
I finally gave up and plugged in a Panda USB Wi-Fi adapter. Not ideal, but it works.

There are mountains of bigger fish to fry, y’all. Social change doesn’t happen overnight. It can take decades or longer.
Widespread language changes have historically taken decades or even centuries to occur.
Ask any woman or person of color over the age of 50 about the CONSTANT slights or worse endured every day for most of their lives for some perspective.
Fight the good fight, absolutely, but this isn’t worth getting angry over - at least not from what I’ve read so far.

If so, are there any compatible wifi cards with open source drivers for Linux?English10·1 year agoI got tired of fooling around with mine and just plugged in a Panda USB Wi-Fi adapter. It’s ugly, but reliable.
How random. My 2014 MBA with Intel HD Graphics 5000 runs Linux beautifully. What a difference a year makes.

The word mark that I’m using is a vector file and not a font.
It’s possible that the word mark uses custom glyphs, because I don’t see any mention of the typeface on the official logo GitHub page.
If you have any luck locating the typeface, let me know and I’ll be happy to add LMDE.
