I feel like I learned more about linux and my computer by installing arch (before we had the neat installer we have now). So for me, arch is a better learning tool. I do really like nix (havent used it myself, but Im a functional programmer and declarative configuration is my jam) but it’s definitely a better way of managing an installation than arch I imagine. My next distro if arch ever fails me will be an immutable distro, Nix is definitely top 3 for me that I reach for

Ubuntu: Super marketable, everyone can pronounce it, no confusion, easily understandable by four language knowing people
Gentoo: So easy to remember, marketing geniuses
Godot: Inpossible to pronounce incorrectly. Children are born knowing how to say it. Exemplars of universal human communication.
Forgejo: What were they even thinking? So bad. Who can even understand it without a dedicated audio file? People who know four languages struggle with it. A failure.

“i, in all of my infinite wisdom and knowledge, knower of four languages, cant pronounce word therefore bad marketing” 😭

seriously why do you care so much about the marketing ability of a foss tool? they arent selling it?

whos the defendent, specifically?

We can name things Forge in English, but not in a different language without your criticism?

Let me guess: You think everyone needs to speak english?

Imagine seething at words in a language you don’t speak because you don’t speak it

Codeberg is a forgejo installation. lemmy.dbzer0.com isn’t lemmy itself

I like Esperanto, should stay imo

So thankful Steam and the hardworking folks who have been working on wine and linux for decades before steam gave them a penny made Linux a viable option

Some crypto are called stablecoins, which are backed by some currency (such as the USD for USDC) inside of a bank. There’s a bit more to it than that, but effectively what you get is one coin = one unit of currency.

the other response is correct (i have my Complete Esperanto book right next to me as i type this) but for the common folk around here: essentially like for-jay-oh
