I thought it was a huge disappointment, most of all due to the CG.

• Everything looks hueless, often with only a few colors, with weird light angles and enemies often shown as a blur. As if it was made to put everyone on the same level as those who are colorblind and visiually impaired.
• Soundtrack was a dissonance of what went on on screen.
• The towns and villages were beautifully animated and showed wide shots of them, so one could be sure that they were missing any signs of food production or water sources.
• The world did not just look dry in color, but also literally dry. Especially the shire which gives it a plastic feel to it.

All of those put together made me feel it was taking place on a pre-dinosaur earth or not yet fully terraformed planet Mars, rather than a place of fantasy and wonder.

And Saruman’s death was absent in the theatrical cut. One of the most important parts of the story was simply cut out.

I grew up with pasta and ketchup at home.
It was my favourite dish.

Volunteers? I thought fedora/red hat was one of the few professional Linux OSes with this particular distro family focusing in on servers and security?
I could be wrong though.

I use Manjaro and little bit of Artix.
If I would recommend anything, it’s either EndeavourOS or Manjaro.
They’re Arch-based and friendlier.

I stopped using Arch because I got banned from their forum for changing my username.

Ah, singular their.
It’s not that common.

Did you married your cousin, did she marry South-East Asia or was the guy from your high school randomly at his own wedding?

I would say it’s not very different, just one league above all the others that I’ve come across.

The three things that stand out in my opinion is how much their package manager can query packages, it’s rolling release and the number of packages they have in the AUR.

It makes Arch the most complete and up to date Linux distro,
with the exception of a user friendly forum,
that doesn’t look like the nazi soup kitchen from Seinfeld,
and an installer.
