It may just be a pre-configured Debian in which case there will be nothing to convert or it may have several additional repositories in which case it will be easier to install the new one.

5·4 days agoNo one ever mentions Crux Linux
It was called Elvis back when it was a smiley
My all-time favourite programming language was a dialect of BASIC. HiSoft BASIC on the Atari ST.
RIP.
The only time I come close to that number of updates (300 - 350) is when KDE Applications and KDE is updated at the same time. I update twice a week.
I should have been clearer.
😆 I meant back to static release
Man your reading comprehension is really low.
Endeavour OS because once you go rolling you can never go back.
If I do it straight after the constructor, then definitely but if I get distracted by something else then it’s only probably until I run it through valgrind and see the leak. These days, I mostly use smart pointers in new code though so there are fewer opportunities to need a destructor. It’s funny that I never forget when opening a file or db connection!
The compiler will still generate one. It won’t be any use but it will be generated :)
Yeah the compiler generates it so it’s always there
There’s always a destructor though. It may do nothing but it’s there.
You should have basic maintenance knowledge like checking tyre pressure and the fluid levels in your car.
By doing it all for them, you are perpetuating the learned helplessness encouraged by Microsoft and Apple over the last few decades and doing them no favours at all.
Consider what they would do if you were unavailable to help them.
The best way to help a non-enthusiast Linux user is teach them basic system maintenance.
Another vote for Endeavour OS here
Only if you’re a bad programmer :/
That is Beverly Crusher played by Gates McFadden
Again it depends on what those repositories do.
EndeavourOS (Arch based) adds a repository which appears to be for their utilities, otherwise they use the Arch repositories. You could probably continue using it with minimal disruption although the utilities would be unmaintained.
Manjaro (also Arch based) uses its own mirrors of the Arch repositories and adds some of its own. If it vanished, it would quickly become out of date and full of security holes. A new install would be necessary.
In either case, I’d do a clean install of Arch because why give yourself the headache.
