Tbh if you value speed and ease, Flatpaks are hard to beat. For most users (arguably also those on Manjaro rather than Arch), they make software installation and updates really convenient.
Fedora and its derivatives have been great for me. No issues with my rx9070xt and felt like magic compared to my windows partition. It’s not rolling-release, but if that’s important surely this is where where base Arch shines for full control?
Manjaro feels like an awkward middle ground to me and my experience with it a few years ago was negative. Though I understand it may have improved. I don’t have use case for it.
As for package formats, for opensource, compiling from source or COPR has worked for me.
I’m really not sure what the use case of Manjaro is.
Arch exists for good reason, and if you’re not comfortable with the complexity of setup just use another distro?
Fedora, Mint and Ubuntu both exist if you want a simpler installer. I’ve started using Bazzite on more machines too and couldn’t be happier with the results.
Genuinely I think most people just confuse distro with desktop environment. If you don’t actually need arch just go with another simpler distro and set up the DE you need.
Very interesting- coincidentally I’ve been evaluating Godot for my own needs. Many apps have a “gamification” element that in my experience can feel clunky to implement on some frameworks- it then clicked for me that a game engine might be a better tool for the job
Good point. However, in my experience messing around with choropleth maps, I often find myself resorting to web scraping in the end when I want something more current (opinion polling). Despite this data being seemingly everywhere, and companies often wanting you to use it (with attribution) so they can get advertising for other services, they never seem to have an API.
I think there is a tendency to overcomplicate things, and human nature is such that most of the time colleagues don’t bother to update records properly. That’s the real-world experience CRM salespeople won’t tell you.
What also happens is that we have all these CRM tools in parallel with these “godawful workflow management” systems.
Theoretically there is a productivity gain, sure, but senior executives don’t make use of these tools, they hire a PA. The implementation of these CRM systems is usually done really really badly.
A good superset dashboard on the other hand- then we’re cooking with gas
Reason why I ask is that there are many form/survey builders out there, as people often underestimate the complexity it takes to set one up that supports things like max diff, routing etc.
Looking at the forums I can see that some have managed to achieve what you need via plugins (albeit the one I see that is confirmed working seems to be paid…)
Just thinking contributing an open source plugin to a great open source scripting tool would save you headaches down the road :)
