    However, manjaro places the button to enable it right next to enabling snaps and flatpaks. Both of which are perfectly safe to install if not safer than average packages.

    The snap store has already been used to distribute malware, one guy lost a lot of money in crypto, and I’m sure it wasn’t an isolated incident. I think it would be naive to think flathub isn’t being targeted in the same way. Same advice as the aur, be cautious.













  • I tried PC/BSD on a desktop quite a few years ago and it was pretty good, apart from having to build a lot of my software from their ports tree. That ultimately put me off and I went back to Linux. I tried FreeBSD on an old laptop last year and no matter what I tried, I couldn’t get it to recognize my Wifi adapter. I gave up after a couple of days.

    So, if your hardware is supported BSD is good, but if it’s not than it’s really not.
