Is it the same system that created omnipresent and blatant corruption Xi’s been purging locally for the last decade?

I say locally because exploitation and cultivation of corruption is still the basis for their relations with developing countries.

Try Nobara, it’s Fedora but with sane defaults. IMO it’s the best of the (relatively) stable distros. The main downside is that Fedora will remove x11 support in the future versions.

I’ve recently moved from Arch based distros because I was tired of having to fix minor crap all the time. I went through Debian, MX, Mint, and Opensuse during that period.
