That thing hasn't been "valid" in half a decade.

There are three distros derived from Arch that try to do very different things:
- Endeavour is Arch with a friendly installer. That's it. It will install faster but then you'll be using Arch, and that's not a good idea for a beginner.
- Garuda is also Arch but with a few more helpful tools and apps. Same reasoning as above.
- Manjaro uses Arch packages as an upstream source (like Ubuntu vs Debian) but does things to them to make it stable. Which, unfortunately, makes a certain kind of Arch fan foam at the mouth and you've probably already been linked to "manjarno" and similar idiocy. So you'd have to deal with that.
But seriously, I have mixed feelings recommending Manjaro to a beginner. The distro itself is super-stable and easy to use because you basically have to do nothing. I have non-computer savvy family members on Manjaro without admin privileges and it works perfectly.
But the trick is that doing nothing part. You have to leave it alone and not modify the way it works, and beginners often feel the need to tinker with the system.. Not only that but it's hard as a beginner to figure out online what's generic Arch advice and what's Manjaro-specific and which of that can be applied safely on Manjaro and which is an Arch-ism that will ruin your install.
If you're set on trying Manjaro I can offer a list of recommendations to give you an idea of how to navigate the dos and donts.
The Deck is configured by Valve in a way uniquely suited to it, and they also make sure it works properly. It's not going to be the same on vanilla Arch installed by you on your own PC.
Common wisdom for a beginner is to use something like Debian or Debian-based like Mint or Ubuntu because they're popular and stable so you can get a safe start. I wouldn't recommend Arch or Arch-based to a complete beginner.
I doubt they intend to mine it. For the Russian state is easier to acquire Bitcoin by hacking wallets than mining, and the plebs can't afford the electricity.
Trading is trading and they'd be risking sanctions whether they take payment with Swift or Bitcoin.
What version are you on? I'm on 7.0.58.
Why do you need a new launcher? You're good to go for several years until (if) Android implements some completely new feature. Right now Nova has pretty much everything.
There's no reason for them to keep defying the court. It could make the ruling worse for them and GDPR fines are hefty to begin with. They can't possibly hope to gain anything of equivalent or greater value to the fine from a bit more data.
Depends on the distro, some have started to offer btrfs by default.
Things you can't do with the website:
- Login with biometrics. Wants password and 2fa each time. As it should, but it gets tedious, especially when I want to confirm online payments (which need to be confirmed inside the interface after you login).
- No contactless payments. You can enroll a card into Google Pay but fuck Google, I don't want them seeing what I buy.
- No notifications, hope the bank is willing to send SMS instead.
- Bit more tedious to send money to someone because the website can't look up contacts by name, have to look them up separately and copy the phone number over.
Looking forward to this one. I use vertical tabs on Edge at work and it's very useful on wide screens.
Hope they remembered to add a bottom to collapse/expand the tab bar.
Now we only need tab groups and we'll be all set.
It happens to everybody, including Microsoft, Google, Amazon etc.
