After using Archlinux for a weak I just give up.. There are so many annoying bugs.. Not system breaking bugs but little annoying bugs which drive me insane. First virt-manager was not working while using Virtio-GPU drivers and now blender showing a missing library error..

No wonder why Arch is called an unstable distro. Rolling release distros not cool for a consistent environment.

I am going back to my old arrangement which was Debian+Backports+Flatpaks

Archaeologists working in a burial cave in Catalonia have unearthed human remains alongside ornamental artifacts and animal bones left over a period of 4,000 years.

Led by renowned researchers, the excavation of the burial cave in Catalonia has uncovered tantalizing clues about prehistoric burial rituals and societal evolution. Could this cave have been a haunt for our Neanderthal ancestors? And did they deliberately manipulate human bones found within?
