If you’re worried about using the terminal you could always install one of the frontends for pacman like the one Manjaro uses. Manjaro might be a pain if you’re using AUR packages (really depends on what packages you use, some niche ones like specific game modloaders or the professional JetBrains IDEs are only on the AUR) because Manjaro’s repos are delayed by around 2 weeks, but the AUR isn’t delayed at all. Depending on the packages you’re using that could break updates sometimes.
Depending on how familiar with programming you are you could also try NixOS which has an absurd number of packages in their official repo but NixOS’s config files can be kind of a pain sometimes.
Edit:
It’s also worth noting that you could start off with Manjaro and then jump over to something like EndeavourOS/Arch once you get more familiarized with using the terminal down the line. That way you wouldn’t have to relearn commands/setups when you switch, since they’re ultimately all arch-based and have the same underlying structure.
A lot of android apps are built using Java/Kotlin, so you don’t actually need to care about architecture since the JVM supports both x86_64 and arm64.
There are exceptions to this though, since some apps need to run native code. Those apps would need some sort of emulation/translation layer for the arm instructions.
The DS did have an IR sensor but (I’m pretty sure, don’t quote me too hard here) a majority of the local communication was using either wifi or a proprietary wireless connection using the wifi antenna/chip.
I specifically remember Pokemon Black/White having an IR quick-trade option where you had to put 2 DS’s back-to-back and being really confused about it because it seemed useless since it took so long to actually work.
If anything to me gnome always seemed like some weird mix between macos, android, and chrome OS. That might be the material style theming though.
Not really sure how archinstall factors in since it wasn’t around yet when I first installed, but I love EndeavourOS. I’ve installed arch before, but I really can’t be bothered if I’m just going to end up installing all of the same packages the GUI could give me in less time anyway. Yeah, EndeavourOS is just arch with some small extra packages and a GUI installer, but that’s exactly why I like it.
An unprompted steins;gate reference in the wild? Amazing
What makes you think so?
The devs said so. Check r/Suyu, that seems to be where a majority of the updates are being posted. I think there was a link to a pastebin post somewhere there as well.
The SDK mentioned was first party, presumably leaked but I’m not completely sure. And yes, that means it would be present in every other fork as well.
Edit: here are some of the links I’m talking about:
https://www.reddit.com/r/suyu/s/TqSWDlnsGs
Edit 2: worth noting that the “founder” (as they call themself) still wants to continue on the project but I believe a majority of the devs left.
Edit 3: I found the archive link from someone on the Yuzu team showing they had access to a leaked switch SDK: https://web.archive.org/web/20210114104638/https://twitter.com/Slashiee_/status/1349557173970341890
I don’t know how much of this evidence is real but if any of it is they’re going to have a much harder time finding devs willing to contribute to Suyu, even if development does continue.
Suyu died though. Right now the only actively maintained Yuzu fork is Sudachi, which is only maintained by a single person.
Apparently there was some drama about the Yuzu devs using code which came from a switch SDK as a basis for emulator code, which kind of poisons the whole codebase.
Thanks for the explanation! I didn’t realize it was mostly a maintenance limitation, I thought maybe 32-bit instructions could be an extra attack vector on a physical CPU instruction level or something like that.
Isn’t supporting 32-bit apps on a 64-bit OS a security concern though? I thought that’s why some linux distros were disabling 32-bit repositories by default on their 64-bit versions
yes, I haven’t tried AptX low latency headphones (tbf those are incredibly uncommon) but every pair of Bluetooth earbuds/iems/headphones I’ve tried had a noticeable delay. If you want good latency you need to get 2.4ghz or ideally just a wire.
If you’re actually being serious, this is Gabe Newell, the CEO of Valve. If you’re joking, internet sarcasm is hard :(

Global warming go brrrr
Ngl Windows is more annoying to install than Linux Mint or Ubuntu. The average user can just click through most of the default settings just fine unless you’re trying to have a fancy dual boot setup
It’s a lot harder to go after homebrew since there isn’t anything directly linking atmosphere/hekate/etc. devs to the promotion of piracy.
Since the Yuzu team had a whole company formed to manage their patreon funds and were clearly promoting functionality for a game that hasn’t been released yet, they were an easy target for Nintendo. The same thing happened with Team Xecuter’s switch homebrew/mods ages ago.
If Nintendo had definitive evidence to suggest the Atmosphere devs are profiting off of piracy, they’d do the same thing in a heartbeat. Same with Ryujinx, Luma3ds, or any other form of emulation/homebrew. The only reason they don’t is because they know only way they’d stand a chance in court is if they make it about piracy, copyright protection, and stolen profits.
I think they made patches for ToTK and released them in the early access build before ToTK even launched (the game files leaked online around a week or two before) so Nintendo’s argument was that they were directly promoting and profiting from piracy (different from profiting from legal emulation).
Luckily because of the way they settled I don’t think this actually implicates any forks that pop up so hopefully projects like suyu and whatever pops up for Citra can still continue development (not a lawyer tho)
They made money on their patreon and Nintendo was going to go after the fact that they had a crazy increase in patreon subscriptions in May 2023 because the early-access builds worked with Zelda ToTK before it came out.
I can tell this is going well for you even without downvotes federated to my instance. There might not have been an actual court case, but Yuzu just got pulled for offering a way to break the switch’s encryption keys, not just because they profited. It pretty directly implicates Ryujinx and any other emulator that could show up just by the nature of the settlement.
It also effectively killed off the only reliable 3DS emulator. Sure Yuzu and Citra are gone, but Panda3ds (the only other 3ds emulator with compatibility even close to Citra’s) is also screwed over because it relied on the same ARM translation layer that Citra/Yuzu used. Forks might show up, but quite frankly I doubt any of them will be seriously maintained because of the crazy complexity required to make an emulator along with the newly established risk of doing so. This isn’t another Tachiyomi situation where a bunch of forks will pop up immediately.
I’m not the biggest distrohopper but I have tried a few, both on my laptop and desktop. I still keep windows around on a dual-boot but I’m basically only using it for the odd game or two and also onenote (obsidian + excalidraw comes close but nothing really has a seamless transition between pen and typing text like OneNote)

Future?
Maybe if I can get my NixOS config to a point where I’m happy with it I’ll switch my desktop setup to that as well, in theory it should be pretty painless since i’m already using a flake setup split across multiple modules. I do really like that I can experiment with my setup without the risk of actually breaking anything since NixOS is semi-immutable.
If I don’t stick with NixOS I’ve also been thinking about trying fedora, opensuse, or an immutable distro, or otherwise just moving my laptop back to either Arch or EndeavourOS since that’s what I’m familiar with.
