Aye there's some reet proper creatures on British news shows. Scarily sometimes they don't get made to look quite as daft as that
The stupidest thing about it is that the name is based on some imagery from the film for The Wall by Pink Floyd which very much made the point of "Fascism bad"
About average. I have a master's in maths, and am pretty competent at tech stuff. Also do a lot of music. Those are just interests though, really. It's easy to get caught up on the idea that being good at the skills society deems as "valuable" or "smart" means you're in some way objectively smarter than other people. I've just found that isn't remotely the case though. People have different interests, I've heard "dumb" people passionately talk about things they love, going into complex inner-workings that I would have to also spend hundreds of hours trying to wrap my head around. Also, a lot of the "smartest" people I know are utterly clueless at anything social. Sure they may end up as maths researchers but they can't pick up on nuances of social interaction.
Some people would argue that the metric for smartness is a little more set in stone, usually the same people who think that IQ is anything more than an ego-trip to justify MENSA charging people money for a shitty magazine and "proof" that they're smart. It's never felt that simple to me though, there are so mant facets of life to be understood and everyone has different understandings of them
If you don't mind having some outdated packages (or using nix for the few you want to be most up to date) then you may find Debian works best for your needs. Manjaro's also a solid choice but the team behind it have been in some drama over the past few years so more people are saying to avoid it these days.
You could use Arch, its installation is nowhere near as difficult as people often state (it's also got much easier in recent years) but I don't think it'd fit your "it just works" needs. It does "just work" once properly set up, but the issue is making sure it's properly set up. If it's your first time doing that extra bit of configuration then you're bound to miss a few things
Probably not "angry" downvotes. OP provided a link where it's explained exactly why the switch was made. Even if you don't care for Rust it's pretty clear that this was done with more purpose than just "Ooo let's make it in Rust for fun"
