As a hopeless Gentoo user myself, I must warn you: it's very addictive and it will become your one and only hobby, whether you like it or not.

For the love of all that's saint, can we please stop recommending Manjaro to people, especially newbies?
It's not really a preference thing, Manjaro team did plenty of questionable stuff with it, as in DDoSing AUR, mind you, twice, or letting their server certificates expire, also more than once.
It also routinely shows more stability issues that led to the infamous "I swear to god, if it's Manjaro again..." in AUR discussions. Apart from AUR problems, they also shipped alpha quality things to their users, like this and this.
I've used Manjaro myself for around a month. If you are treating it as a regular Arch installation, you will break it.
If you want something up to date, but more stable than Arch, just use Fedora. If you insist on it being Arch-based, use something like CachyOS. Or you can read the wiki and install Arch itself. Arch is a DIY distro, after all.
If I encounter subs with positioning, my brain generates far more happiness hormones than I ever should be allowed to have.
That's a completely different tool, though, no? I just do this for determining when I need to clean up:
df -hx tmpfs
Gives me enough information for this purpose and, again, does not require any additional software, df is part of coreutils.
I call this part "shut up, tin can, I know what I'm doing".
Sometimes you just don't care about these 42 files find couldn't access. If I don't have permissions to read them, I'm not interested!
Yea, I love du -hd 1 | sort -h when cleaning up. I absolutely love that I don't need any extra software to quickly locate whatever takes up space. I can do this on any machine without installing anything extra.
Some of this is totally on Google Translate.
In the second picture, the text is 飯テロ見ながら、寝るよ
飯テロ is not "terrorist attacks". 飯 is food, テロ is terrorism, together they form a slang word that is used when someone posts pictures of delicious food while you are hungry.
So, this person was just going to watch food porn while lying in bed, but... Yea, translation error.
Inconsolata LGC with nerd-fonts. I edit all my text and code in Helix, a TUI editor, and having proper support for Cyrillic and Greek is important for me. Also, I like how it looks.
Once a year I just poke at ChatGPT and try to solve some not so common task with it.
I'm a Linux user, last time I tried to forward a MIDI stream to Minecraft with the help of ChatGPT. On Pipewire, Java won't pick up any MIDI sources by default. I was going back and fourth with it for around an hour while it was trying to make me install software for different audio servers and was very confident that this is the correct way. When I get frustrated enough, I do my regular searching routine. In this case, 10 minutes of searching led me to this:
modprobe snd_virmidi
I literally needed to modprobe one driver. Java starts to see Pipewire's MIDI bridge after that. Experiencing this once in a while makes me very confident that this thing would be extermely toxic for anything I do.
You can also ask it about something you are an expert at. The amount of stuff it gets wrong is insane.
That depends on what your goals are. And with Gentoo you can have a lot more elaborate goals than with other distros. Mine, for example, was to get rid of initramfs. I spent a week compiling and recompiling the kernel with different configurations before I was able to see a TTY for the first time.
Of course you can grab your distribution kernel and get default and perfectly safe use flags for everything, but, I would still be an Arch user if that was my jam.
Helix? 😢
