    Newton was evidently searching for meaning in the universe and God, and I don’t think it was a bullshit code search. The scientific establishment back then was extricably connected to Christianity, and esoterically with alchemy. It wasn’t the scientific establishment post-Victorian as we know it now.

    The Victorians popularised Utilitarianism, which cut away those elements that otherwise Newton was a part of.

















  • You could still distrohop a bit if you want. Debian (as well as mint) is stable, loads of deb packages out there. I really like Fedora (less packages for my use case but COPR is similar to AUR in that there are thousands of packages outside of the main repositories). Ultimately like they said, Arch is really out there with the rolling releases, but sometimes you’ll need to reconfigure. Recently firmware packages got split up and that required manual intervention. Haven’t had any breaks so far, so EndeavourOS is a good choice imo.
