A few years ago I got a nuc to use in my van. Being uefi I wasnt able to put win 7 on it without getting brain damage so linux it was. I saw ubuntu had a new ui so I thought I would try it and optimise it for touch screens.

It was just like an apple os. It was disgusting and uncustomisable. I tried to put cinnamon on it but nothing works right in linux so it didnt work well. Just went to mint in the end. So when I see this (I only watched 20 seconds), I'm like, yeah. Linux is the way forward, because its a shit as apple and modern windows, but at least if you have a brain you can spend 3 days trying to make a printer work and it will work.

You are correct that Ubuntu is disgusting.

I was forced to use ubuntus kernel in mint because at the time the intel video drivers were not working in mint. When the supposed best distribution of linux, has the shittest ui, it means its going the way of the main OS. Toilet.

The other way ubuntu goes the way of "main OS"s is it tries to protect you in absurd ways. "We're going to prevent you from installing new software. It's for your own good." Like any npc-tier OS it operates on the assumption that locking people down and getting in the way is helpful.

It's gotten so bad its now incompatible with basic modern server software. It's one of the reasons Docker exists. How do we get an operating system that traveled in a time machine to run software from 2025? The world is moving fast so there is good reason to want to run software from 2025.

"We're going to prevent you from installing new software.
Uh, all linux is like this. Every single one. And unlike windows, you can't just turn it off with some setting hidden somewhere. You have to manually edit config files to force a sudu so on startup on the system.

software from 2025.
No. If you are using modern systems to make modern software then I dont care. You can suffer for that.

Not arch. Here is the package for qbittorrent.

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/qbittorrent/

Updated to the version that came out yesterday. I didn't even cherry pick. It was the first package I checked. By default you get the newest.
