    I agree with this 100%, every word. Well, almost every word; the expression is “dumbed down” not “dumped down”, but other than that, this is basically what I was going to say.

    I find that elitist, gatekeepy posts like what OP said are completely unhelpful. They’re worse than wrong, because they can’t even yield useful discussion, really - just neck beards nodding vigorously and everyone else rolling their eyes.

    You want a stable, locked down system? Vanilla OS, Silverblue, Blend, and Aeon will have you covered. You want to tinker? Debian, Fedora, Arch, and OpenSuse are still there. Linux is about choice, and it’s just silly to worry that Arch is going to disappear just because Blend (or Garuda, or whatever the hell) exist.
