Ah yeah, I feel like there’s better selection here, definitely. I think they sold the Volkswagen e-Golf in the US, no? Not great range but it’s just a Golf for the most part. Not still manufactured though, would have to look used.
Depends on where you are. In Europe some of the cars that have a shared platform—as in you can get an ICE or EV on the same model—are worth looking at. A bunch of the Stellantis-built stuff, like Peugeot or Vauxhall, are pretty “standard car, but EV”. Similarly Renault has some good options.
The OS on the Steam Deck is Arch based, just like Manjaro, so I imagine it’ll do games.
I’m a fullstack developer as well, and use Arch as my daily driver, and have for the past 9 years. While I can’t speak for Manjaro directly, just the upstream, I have some coworkers that use it without issue. I think it’d be fine for your needs, at least worth trying out. I hear a lot of bleeding edge horror stories thrown around but in that 9 years 95% of problems were of my own doing, and the 5% were easily fixed with a rollback of a package. Out of that, my downtime isn’t worth mentioning it’s so negligible. I feel my coworkers on macos have more issues with major version upgrades by far.
On Arch-based distros, pkgbuild is a great way to handle custom packages when needed, and the AUR is gives me almost everything I need that isn’t in the official repos. It’s a great developer environment.
I’m very interested in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed as well, was thinking of trying it out as my next distro on a personal machine to try out something new since I’ve been on a single distro for so long, but not because I need anything new, just sounds like fun.
I can’t figure out how to make a spoiler section in Lemmy so I won’t say much, but the lore that describes some of the transformations in dead space was just so disturbing, still sort of sticks with me.

Signalis is a great game with a story that stuck with me for weeks. I wouldn’t say it “terrifies me” but it’s definitely both disturbing and heart wrenching.
I have left arch installs un-updated for months and had them be fine. I did leave one for a year once and the update hosed it, but it was still recoverable and runs fine to this day.
so, I wouldn’t worry much about the “update every week” thing. even on my daily driver I forget for a month sometimes.
I feel like this is the answer. if you’ve ever had to maintain a build pipeline or repository for .deb or .rpm, it’s not exactly pleasant (it is extremely robust, however). arch packaging is very simple by comparison, and I really doubt they’d need much more.
well now I’ll be expecting it

neither of these were in a genre I’d usually consider, but they got me into it. still when I listen to either, they’re in my head all day.
like most things, some of it is very good but the vast majority of it is extremely poor. I wouldn’t say I like or dislike it as a rule but I’d say on average I dislike it by far, and when it’s bad it has a way of being very intolerably bad.
not an issue if you live in a city centre where you won’t need to drive, or on the outskirts of somewhere that has good public transit. hard to say what your requirements are though; if you’re planning to have to commute or otherwise.
humanscale makes lovely stuff. I have some of their monitor arms and cable management and they’re top notch.
lol, that’s a huge bummer though. when I picked up this chair I lived in a fairly major city, and it was during the “we’re not doing return-to-office” times so I might’ve gotten lucky with what was being liquidated.
I have a sit/stand desk and so I spend about half the day in my chair. I use a Steelcase Think; I like how it’s relatively simple but still has a lot of articulation in its armrests, which makes it easy to get decent arm support where you need it. It’s very sturdy and of nice quality. my only complaint is that I wish its back didn’t have an inch of give before it hits the lock point at the furthest forward point, but this is really very minor.
if you live somewhere that you can go to an office surplus store, I’d super recommend doing that. I picked out this chair after trying a bunch out, and it was much cheaper than MSRP since it was used. they had like 20 different models and perhaps 5 of this one, and I picked out the nicest of the bunch.
I walk into my home office, as my company like many went fully remote during COVID and stayed that way. However prior to that I had two options:
I could bike, it was about 5.5 miles with bike lanes the whole way (until downtown, where the roads were shared but marked for bike traffic). I think it took me about 20 or 30 minutes, but honestly I don’t remember anymore. Going home took longer as it was uphill compared to the way in.
The other option was I could take public transit; there were both buses and a light rail and I greatly preferred the latter. When I did that, it was a 5 minute walk to the light rail, about a 20 minute ride, and then a 10 minute walk to the office.
At the time I lived in a decent sized US city, but since going remote I’ve moved somewhere smaller. However I really loved having good public transit, and if I ever had to go into an office again either being able to bike or public transit in is a big requirement for me; I can’t stand car commuting: it’s stressful and wasteful, and has a very negative impact on cities for those that live there.
smoking: I decided it was disgusting. it was like a switch flipped and I had no desire to do it anymore.
and it helps that it actually is super nasty (I can only imagine how I used to smell), and ruins everything; I just had to realize it.
