  I hope I’m not the only one who finds these endless Chromium forks extremely yawn-inducing. I realize that rolling your own rendering and JavaScript engines from scratch isn’t totally feasible, but Firefox is right there.

  The info from the Steam Hardware Survey is collected on an opt-in basis. I’m sure Valve has plenty of ways to get this information otherwise, but this specific data set requires acceptance of the terms of the survey.

  I’ve also had this issue with both of my SN30 Pro+ controllers but haven’t really found a reliable fix. Sometimes it works if I connect it undocked, and then plug it into the dock, but that doesn’t always work. It’s a shame because it used to work great!

  Manjaro isn’t that fragile on its own. No, seriously, their goal is to make a stable version of Arch. No wait stop laughing —

  The majority of issues with Manjaro itself (notwithstanding the team’s other issues) would be fixed by retiring the AUR as an official software source altogether. It simply isn’t a repository built with Manjaro’s slower burn in mind; it demands a bleeding edge system. If you don’t use the AUR, Manjaro is as stable as any other system. It just sucks for many other reasons, which is why I personally wouldn’t use it.
