While on one hand Manjaro is very polished. Some things they do is questionable. Like the time they suggested to change your date and time because they let their repo keys expire. Or accidentally DDOS the AUR. Just to name some. The Manjaro team has a rather bad track record of these things.
I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?...
In my case not at all. But that is by choice. I always start from a server install. For me i like rolling as i do not get major version updates. And with tumbleweed it is very solid at the same time. Snapper and btrfs are also great aditions.
I was playing a game, alt-tabbing froze my system so I waited a bit and then rebooted by using the button on the case, since I couldn’t do differently....

What are your ‘defaults’ for your desktop Linux installations, especially when they deviate from your distros defaults? What are your reasons for this deviations?...
Honnestly. Firewalls shut be enabled by default. Specially on laptops connecting to public places.
A good default shut be choosen by the disteo maintainer. A default shut not overwrite your own config. Like any config really. So no upset folks that like to change the firewall. Also if you dont block much outgoing trafic you are not likely to run into problems. And for people that like to poke holes in the incoming trafic. Your a “advanced” user anyway.
Their are not many programs that require open ports for incoming trafic. Things like ssh or a web server do. But then again those are services you would manualy want to open anyway.

You are able to force devices to use a specified DNS. even when they have hard coded DNS in them. Your router/firewall must be able to support redirection of network traffic though.
Just a curiosity. Theoretically FRP (factory reset protection) can use the current login password as a way of authentication after reset. But everything on the web states that you will need a Google account to take advantage of he feature.

I have some USB sticks, and I want to use them as portable Linux USBs. However, I am stuck on which distro will function the best. Here are my possible options:...
In the basis you are right. But nowadays a good large USB stick shut be able to handle it fine over a long period. I would recommend to put the cache and temp directory’s on a memory drive. that way you do not constantly stress out the USB.
On the other hand nowadays their are USB cases for M.2 SSDs. this would eliminate the entire problem.

I assume you do not use the AUR much then? Personally i tried Manjaro in the beginning and broke it in less then 2 months. Hat a ton of dependencies conflicts due to using AUR packages. installed arch and everything was fine. Now using tumbleweed just to switch things up a bit.
Honestly this is a bit extreme in my opinion. I have been printing ABS for some years now. It is what i print in the most in fact. I am using a prusa MK3 (now S) without a enclosure. and it works just fine even rather large prints. Only thing to keep in mind is the fumes. In my case the printer is in a separate room which is well ventilated.
In my case i do not use any sort of glue. I just print straight on the texured or PEI sheet. Never really hat issues. If it does not stick welll, I clean it with dishsoap. Seems to work best after a wile of use.

I have been using Mint for about six months now and while I am not going to start distro hopping, I slowly want to start exploring the rest of Linux....
Although I agree with most of the things. Saying “they are all the same” is very wrong imo. Very similar sure the same? no. Personally I like Tumblweed more because I love to tinker and break things once in a while. so snapper and btrfs are great in this case. Mint i would use on a set and forget system. Like for my parents.
Saying Arch,OpenSuse,Fedora,Debian and Gentoo are all the same for example is saying that your Toyata Prius is the same as a bugatti chiron. Sure they are both cars and “just look and feel is different” they are not the same at all.

I have in my old laptop a dual boot setup of windows11 and zorin os. But I am interested in switching Zorin to OpenSUSE tumvleweed. How can I safely do it without losing the data?
This is exactly what I did. I hat a poco X3 NFC. I did install lineageOS on it which was a absolute pain due to MIUI and their unlocking method. A few weeks ago it flung off the motorcycle on the highway in Germany. got my self a google pixel and instantly installed GOS on it. and i am loving it it works great is secure and privacy focused. i do not miss any google services at all.

I think Manjaro is a bit of a mixed bag. A good distro in it self but their are issues. Arch is great and a big part of it is due to the AUR. When using the AUR you can easily get dependentie conflics if you use it on Manjaro.
Also some sloppy things from the devs. From adding broken patches (some driver thing). To exidentely ddosing the AUR.
I’ve installed arch Linux and liked it, but lfs and Gentoo would be too time consuming compiling everything and not doing anything during and after install. Are there any distros like arch that don’t have me compiling everything?
