Yeah it’s stable, as long as you aren’t messing with the core of things you’ll be good. Gaming isn’t the worst on most systems but it can still be a challenge. And if you have a laptop trying to set up your GPU so it won’t destroy your battery can be a challenge. Those are really your only pitfalls though. If you just want to install it browse the Internet, code, do office stuff it will work perfectly. If you start trying to do anything too fancy there is a possibility of running into unstableness from misconfiguration
Ok now do inches to miles, what about distance bigger then those measured in miles what now? Try miles to yards without looking it up what about measurement smaller than a 1/16 of an inch? What are we just gunna start using even smaller fractions? 1/1000 of an inch? or would it be some arbitrary unit called a speckle or something that’s 18/29382 of an inch?
And no one makes their one rulers except physics labs, and maybe ruler manufacturers.
Metric has more precision due to its definition based on a universal constant. Imperial could have that to but it doesn’t shake it’s weird conversions. Yes they are easy if you are doing surveying work but there’s a reason scientists use metric. It’s much easier to check and use especially when dealing with scientific notation.
Also fun trick for feet to miles is 5-tomatoes = 5 two 8 Os
Now let’s do kilometers Oh wait it’s literally just it’s name 1000 meters

Very precise so when you measure something you get it’s length so that it’s length can be compared to other objects. And portable so that other people who don’t have access to your specific ruler can fashion a ruler of their own that will give measurements that are the same length as yours
An error of several inches in any real world use case for a measurement system could very well end in disasted.
And from inches to foot, foot to yard and foot to mile.
Metric is easier to remember conversations, easier to use, and is way more portable and precise
I mean it’s not really about as big of a persons foot though is it. It’s just it’s name, measurements are meant to portable and precise with a real definition. Not just about the size of someones foot who’s foot? Your foot? My foot? Those are probably off by several inches. Plus conversions are huge pain in the imperial measurement system which can lead to huge issues.
e: your opinion on measurement systems lowers my trust in your other opinions
I second everyone else dont use manjaro. As someone who was in a similar position to you, I started with mint just to toy around with it. Personally I’d recommended fedora, or Ubuntu (fedora over Ubuntu). I didnt stick with mint long though, eventually I just took the deep dive and installed arch as my daily driver which I wouldnt recommend unless you have time and energy to tinker with what us broken. If your uncomfortable with using Linux full time try duel booting that way you have windows as a back up system in case you bork something. If you have any questions feel free to DM me. And remember flatpak is the linux beginners best friend.
Unless you both use exactly the same config files… Which is the point of nixos… Everything is versions locked. If you have a working config you can give it to your buddy and build it and it’ll work the same way
