I used it for years. Donated $20. Thank you :)
iTerm2 and DevonThink are the apps I miss the most from my old days as a OSX user.

It doesn't on OpenBSD. arc4random(3) simply can not fail, and getentropy(2) does not block. Linux screwed up getrandom. High quality random numbers are available very early in the OpenBSD kernel, and there is no early boot problem for userland.
Linux has an opportunity to learn from OpenBSD.

Linux handles random in weird ways. Once I migrated from Manjaro to Arch just to learn a bit more about Linux in general. Boot was extremely slow on Arch, but the same setup was ok on Manjaro.
Thing was you need the Haveged daemon to generate entropy, something that should come within the kernel itself.
I have been using antergos for over 4 years, having dual booted it on with windows on 3 different computers. I always liked the fact that it took just 15-20 minutes for me to start working.
Arch purists may scoff on these spin offs, but they miss the point. The appeal was that even though I know how to set up arch on my own, it takes about 2 hours or so. Setting up nvidia was also a pain. With antergos, you can just sit back, and get a nice working system quickly.
Will definitely miss it
The team behind Antergos did a great service to the community by offering a ready-to-run Arch experience that was the closest to the real thing.
I will surely miss Antergos

There's a still a big catch: normally, when a computer "runs Linux", you can keep installing new Linux distros until the hardware dies, which could be decades in the future.
Chromebooks reach "end of life" after a few (edit: ≤ 6.5) years, effectively becoming software-defined garbage: https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/6220366
You can install Linux on some Chromebooks, but it's often a lot of work to disable the "press Space to erase your operating system" prompt. It would be better if all EoL Chromebooks received an update to disable secure boot, because secure boot stops being secure when it boots you to an unpatchable OS.
Living in Colombia where a refurbished chromebook seems like the best option to run Linux on somewhat good hardware, these are good news for me.

Cool Idea, and very easy to migrate between VMs.

Seems like a great alternative to AWS serverless offering.
I just want it to live past the beta, considering that last week Google killed two of their non-beta Services.

I can't even tell you how many connectivity and graphics technologies MS launched, I developed on, and then they abandoned.
I struggle to understand why people think MS deserves enterprise trust & goodwill.
I guess enterprise trust them because they speak the same language. Also under Nadella's lead Microsoft has shown it can eat it's own dog food and turn it into profit.
Turning from a software house into a full cloud business, the so called "digital transformation".
Most of their customers see that and wanna follow the same path.

Can it really outperform my analog Leica M6 + Summicron 35mm bokeh?
It certainly will. Reality nowadays seems more fake.
Can you make dmenu sort by most used? I want to switch over due to it's awesome minimalism but that's a feature from rofi I can't go without, mostly because to open my browser I can just go mod-d enter
Dmenu's patched versions can sort by use.
Manjaro-i3 uses dmenu_recency
