I believe OpenSUSE uses something called “meta” packages that contain a bunch of other packages. For example if there’s games-meta package it will fetch a bunch of games and during update it may try to install them again. Search through installed packages and see if you have any meta ones.
not Linux but some open-source software with premium features that have menu items with diamond icons or something like that pointing to those features. you cannot hide the menu items and it keeps sending you notifications to subscribe to an annual license.
Endeavor is basically an installer for Arch. It is litterally Arch so if arch has issues Endeavor will be affected.
Manjaro, on the otherhand is downstream from arch so when arch has an issue manjaro testinh branches will catch it before they get to the stable stream.
If you want to have fun with the open ocean waves of upstream Arch then go with Endeavor.
It is overly hyped for what it is. They basically took over from Antergos .
You cannot get an unbiased opinion asking on reddit or especially lemmy since this is where predominantly fedora and arch purists live.
What you will see is Fedora users hate Manjaro’s popularity because they are in direct competition. Fedora is the downstream of RHL just as Ubuntu is downstream of Debian and Manjaro is Downstream of Arch. RPM and RHL just have not gained traction over the years from new users due to Debian and Arch dominance.
Second are the Arch purists who will tell you that Manjaro is not arch since similarly Ubuntu is not debian. But what happens is you get tons of newbs coming to Arch and in the support forums and arch purists realize that Manjaro has a popularity which makes them jealous. Similar to how debian purists act towards ubuntu newbs .
The thing is, when a big team and community establish a polished down stream service, it will always be more popular and more polished than the upstream since it is building on what the upstream have already provided.
Manjaro is amazing . They really are the ubuntu of arch.
A fedora or arch purist cannot handle those words and will have to find something that happened while back with SSL keys getting miss managed or experimentors who mix a ton of AUR packages with their testing branches etc.
Well ubuntu users screw up their systems when they mix a bunch of debian packages into it. Same thing.
Manjaro to be honesty is frankly killing it. Amazing team and stable rolling downstream arch for newbs. They have three streams, unstable, testing and stable. I’ve been on stable for years with zero issues. I’ve got a few AUR packages which build easily . Plus new users get adequately warned when adding AUR packages and mostly it is not necessary since manjaro provides everything in their repos anyways. Installing flatpaks are a sinch and even git packages through the AUR.
The interface is also amazingly polished and I LOVE the ease they give you of installing newer or older kernels.
Does it support custom playlists where you can “weight” each track and pitchshifting/time stretching? If so, this is enormous. Of all software, it’s Musicbee that’s keeping me tied to Windows more than anything else.
I like FreeCAD, but I’ve heard people complain about it.
I’m not an ME, so I certainly don’t make use of all the CAD features needed, so maybe that’s why I don’t get the complaints. Still, it suits my needs which mostly involve modeling PCBs and building enclosures around them.
I have also been toying with the idea of some simple 3D modeling, like making custom parts for projects around my house
I think that FreeCAD and Blender are probably fine for this.
Example of something I’ve made and printed the enclosure for via FreeCAD: Fight Key Wide. It uses parameter-based design and includes some design touches like screw-holes and bezels which aren’t purely simple geometry, so FreeCAD gets a pass in my book.
If you look at the GitHub linked on the project page, it has the enclosure files which you can check out in FreeCAD if that helps you get started.
Freecad has improved considerably in the last year, to a point where I’ve gone from saying I will wait to use it, to recommending it. It may actually have been designed for humans now.
With about a half an hour of reading documentation it became very clear a couple versions ago what work benches were, which were useful to me, and how to use them. That’s maybe longer than going from inventor to solidworks or visa versa, but hardly that bad. For a beginner it will be taking a long time anyway and there will be essentially no difference, except that you’ll learn a much more robust understanding of how parametric modeling works.
Good to see OP used sudo su; passwd (Yes, I know it is frowned upon by a lot of documentation, but I don’t care). I probably would find sudo passwd $USER something that would need some careful typing in all the passwords to avoid confusion.
I usually try to avoid bad habits like this but this time it was justified.
The Ubuntu laptop had to connect to company vpn. It were using openconnect-network-manager-gnome thingy to do that. Recently the company upgraded their vpn software which is sorta incompatible with openconnect and requires a modified user agent string for it to prompt for 2FA keys. package in ubuntu 22.04 is too old to modify that in the gui. I tried in the terminal manually, editing the config manually with vim and even dumping the config from my personal Arch laptop. We also tried proprietary Cisco AnyConnect but there is probably a server misconfiguration which causes the connection to drop and reconnect once a minute. In Ubuntu 24.04 it works given the user agent modification, and even though it was released a couple of weeks ago, LTS users don’t get the update before mid August. So the easiest solution was to take the software compile it in the VM and use it there. It’s a temporary solution but we had to have something working by the next morning. With such setup it’s an annoyance to have password prompts show up. On top of that the keyboard is kinda fucked and some characters register multiple times making the situation with passwords even worse.
If you have a good idea what I could have tried let me know, love to hear new ideas.

Hmm, tough one. Suggesting to post your question as a new post in relevant Lemmy /c/ or StackExchange and so on. Here as a not so new comment of a comment it will get little exposure I guess.
I would also recommend checking out salome. It has a parametric CAD module like you would be used to in SolidWorks. It felt a little less finicky to me than freecad , and I also think it has more controllable STL generation compared to freecad.
