You can get lucky, some of the aftermarket stuff works

What does Arch have to do with anything?

Isn’t it just Oliebollen?

It actually is. More surface area, more tasty, tasty maillard reaction

Ah, proper American values on display. Total obedience to the power, never raising a voice about anything, always staying in line, never having opinion different from what the Glorious Leader says.
And I’m actually not joking, based on the actions, it is as closest you can have to the proper American values.

The number for a tariff is a trading deficit divided by total export of a country. It’s simplistically stupid.

Women were supposed to perform all the domestic labour. All of it. That myth of liberated soviet woman shatters the second you learn about any aspect of the soviet existance.
30 years later, and I still can’t convince my mom that doing all the domestic work and be toe-to-toe with men in a workplace isn’t something all women are just have to do.

self explanatory

If you ever had to teach anyone anything, properly teach, you would know it’s a myth. It’s self-explanatory to you because you’re already familiar with the logic, language, conventions. I’m guessing, you grew up with all that from childhood, and you just forgot how you had to learn all that, and now you assume this knowledge didn’t need to be taught. You think cog is a universally understood language for settings because you always had it in front of you. Just like a lot of people think/thought that 3.5 floppy is a universally understood icon for “save”, and people who grow up now have no idea what I am talking about.
And then you assume that you are the average person, and start measuring everyone by this mark.
But if several years of teaching people of different skills, motivations, and ages, how to work with computers taught me anything, it’s that there is no universal language, there is no, and cannot be anything self-explanatory, and intuitive interface is a myth perpetuated by people who newer used anything other that one OS they grew up with. There is no amount of skeuomorphism you can employ that doesn’t require at least some amount of learning.
And when it comes to learning, let me tell you, there is nothing more straightforward to teach than “you type words and then read what the computer typed you back.”
And if several years of tech support taught me anything, it’s that if a regular person who doesn’t care about a computer encounters a problem, they don’t have inherently better time fixing it with GUI, never, not at all, not in a million years. I however always have way better time helping them, if it’s Linux and I can tell them what to type and they can read me the response. This actually true even if people are good with computers and know their OS.

neither accessible nor feasible for the average computer user.

Absolute hogwash. Learning like five short words is absolutely not unfeasible for any literate person, if a user can’t do that, you can be sure they aren’t actually an average user, they can’t do anything with gui either. And probably need help tying their shoes.
A two years old child can learn 5 short words. A grown up can write them on a sticky note and plop them on a screen.

It’s not either-or. You can install KDE on Arch with one button in the archinstall you mentioned, and it will be a GUI based distro, you can happily live moving your mouse around the coloured buttons if that’s your fancy.

as a parent it is still not your job to make it easy, yeah?

As a parent it’s your job to make it safe. They will do it, you can’t stop it. But if you allow it, if any problem arise they will not hesitate to ask for help immediately, and that’s the most important.
You can provide them contraception and morning pills and not rely on their teenage hormone filled brains to get it themselves. If they’re doing it in your home, they will less likely to do it while drunk under the bridge.
It is similar to alcohol situation. If your teenager wants to drink alcohol, it’s better you give them guidelines and help, and it’s better they get a six pack of beers with their friend in your home, than a bottle of moonshine with their 29 years old buddy Craig they met in a toilet of a waffle house.

he lost under 1% of his population to the war

This is not entirely accurate figure. The 1% is only the number of people confirmed dead by the independent sources like Mediazona. The number of people who are “missing in action” but just can’t be confirmed dead is staggeringly more than that. Also don’t forget that that’s mostly people of productive age and demographic, which skews the metrics a little. Also add to it all the people who left the country, which are also of the most productive demographics.

That being said, Russia is big, and meat attacks could indeed go on for years. It will be devastating for Russia, but not for Putin.

there’s probably worse than him coming next

That’s the scary scenario, but there is also a bunch of boring technocrats that might be put in place by the oligarchy, which sounds great in comparison.

That’s true, if you listen to Russian media exclusively.

they’d have done NOTHING

That’s not fair. They’d have elected him President

That’s because you’re not thinking like Putin. Starting this war in the first place was the worst possible idea that never made any sense, except it allowed Putin to reform the slipping grip on the country and cemented his regime and his vision for at least some time. But just like the empires of old, now his regime requires constant slow boiling war to operate.
He will happily sacrifice every Russian to this, he can easily afford losing a thousand men per day to the grinder. It costs very little to him. European countries on the other hand will be very very hurt by the war on their territory, and everyone understands it.

They will not win, doesn’t mean they can’t deal untold damage trying

If you know anything about current Russian government, you’d know that one necessarily follows the other. The more desperate Russia gets, the less reserves they have, the more bold and aggressive they’re getting. There is a combination of factors leading into it, both psychological and material.

Believe it or not, bees aren’t supposed to be immortal. Dead bees on random pavements are just sign that bees exist around somewhere.
Not good would be not finding anyone, drad or alive.

It took Germany decades and at least couple of generations to shake off the lable, and in a lot of cases they still do. Obviously it’s not forever, but decades might as well be forever if you’re trying to open an international business or whatever
