Correct.

Can confirm. Works on every distro I’ve tried.

It would have been better if I had something better than dial-up internet.

As far as I know, there are only two independent rolling distros that are stable: Void & Solus. Solus comes out of the box ready-to-go with little-to-no tinkering, with a good aesthetic appeal. I like rolling distros because there’s no retiring my version. I keep it updated and it keeps getting updates. Support for life.

There’s been a few times I built from source but flatpak has been quite the blessing. Solus is also looking for more software maintainers, so if there’s something not in their software center now that you want, it could be a good opportunity to get involved.

A canal through Israel would involve about 15x the amount of digging as did Panama. Doubling the capacity (Suez + this suggested canal) would cut revenue to less than half (doubling capacity but also introducing market competition). But the operation costs of Suez would also be much lower. Plus all that traffic would create a security risk because it would introduce a new mode of importing terror into the country. It isn’t going to happen. This is the stuff of conspiracy theory.

Budgie 11 should be coming out soon and is supposed to be full Wayland. Arch is nice if you can stay up on your updates and can tinker if things don’t work right.

The engineering would be implausible and unprofitable. The terrain does not support that type of plan.
