    TV weather people saying that the temp will be in the 80s is less useful to me than if they tell me if it will be 27°C for example

    Well this isn’t really an accurate comparison. If they know an exact temperature, they would say it in both measurements. But they don’t. So “in the 80s” is the perfect range. Preparing for 80 degrees is almost identical to how you would prepare for 89 degrees. There’s no metric equivalent. The “20s” is way too big of a range. 20 vs 29 is a huge difference. Also, with it being base 10, you don’t really need more information. 80 is 80% hot. Think of the hottest weather you’ve been in. 80 degrees is about 80% of that. And before you say “I’ve been in 115 degree weather”. Yeah, so have I, I lived in arizona, and 115 is honestly not too much different than 100. After 100 it doesn’t matter much. Same with below 0. But the 0-100 range, each degree matters quite a bit

    This means, that there isn’t that much testing before the release. This can cause lots of problems for the end user.

    Lol you’re buying into the FUD. ubuntu doesn’t test every possible combination of packages, nor do they test how updates actually impact the user. Generally updates are always good for users. They fix bugs. 99% of the time someone comes to a linux forum asking about an issue, the answer is “this was fixed in the latest kernel, try updating”. But because they’re using distros that use ancient, 3 year old kernels, they can’t.

    Unless you have a staging computer where you stage your updates, you’re living in an illusion about “stability”, and using ancient tools with ancient bugs for no reason

    The arch wiki is the gold standard for Linux, not just arch. But it definitely talks specifically about arch.

    So, there are built in install scripts now. There’s no GUI installer, but it’s 1 command to get a full arch setup installed with a desktop environment. Arch is a 100% reasonable choice for a new user.
