@bahua what distro seem to be on the high?

@jasongodev
Derivatives of Ubuntu(Mint, Pop! OS, Elementary) all seem to be doing well.
I have seen a surprising number of people reading the docs into Arch, and a lot of others jumping into its derivatives, like Manjaro, Endeavour, Alpine, and Void.
I've also seen a lot of enthusiasm for oddballs like nixOS and Solus.
If you're curious, they're all easy to run in a virtual machine.
W...w...wha...whaaat?!
I'm not sure if I should be Happy or Sad about this :/
Finally! I can switch from English to modern hieroglyphics.
I don't know if my Ubuntu system is on high or anything, but I realized that if you remove a package, you also lose your ability to install it again.
For example, when I remove a package called `dmd`, and search it, it just shows the package `dmd` without any description, with the tag `residual-config`. And if I try to install it, it will split an error back to me, says that the package `dmd` doesn't have any release candidate. And if I `purge` it, it will magically vanish when I search it, and install it will just say `No apt package "dmd"`.
