Why sometimes Linux is hard to switch to

Switching is easy. Sticking to it is harder and involves relearning most of your activities in a new context.

So now I face another reinstall…

I’d honestly think that CachyOS was more ‘sturdy’. Though, I suppose it’s curious that you don’t mention anything about your troubleshooting attempts. Beyond your rollbacks in hopes of resolving the issue*. If you don’t like/want to (learn to) troubleshoot, then reconsider if CachyOS is your home.

FWIW, over (almost) 4 years of Fedora Atomic, I was only once ‘forced’ to reinstall; which happened in the first week (or so). And that was 100% a user error.

This and having to dive into the deep end of terminal commands to get drivers, programs or games working can be quite frustrating.

This isn’t recognizable to me. Would you be so kind to clarify/elaborate? Perhaps with an example even?

I understand why people are turned off and go back to Windows…

The only time I felt this, was when I just cold-turkey switched to Fedora Silverblue and bashed my head to the wall when trying to implement Madaidan’s hardening 😅. But, again, that was just very naive.

Onto NixOS for me.

NixOS is definitely based. So go for it.

What would your ultimate distro be like?

Stateless, and hardened AF. So, probably an amalgamation between your favorite security-focused Linux (be it secureblue or Qubes OS) and NixOS for its impermanence module.

I feel like you’d love tldr.

OP, I urge you to clarify and/or elaborate in case you desire better engagement. Like is your goal to make a long list of Wine-related software? Or, instead, understand which one is preferred?

Furthermore, a more meta suggestion: a quick glance at your profile shows that you have almost three times as many posts compared to your comments. You’re free to engage however you wish. But please, consider engaging more with the community output. Thanks in advance!

Ah, okay. I was looking at niri’s .gitignore 😅. But yeah, I can see it now. Thanks again!

Thank you for bringing this up! But, while you’ve clearly pointed out where to look at, it wasn’t quite enough for me to understand what exact content gave it away. Was it

• short/brief .gitignore?
• /target?
• /result?
• Any combination of the above?

I desire to learn this in the hopes of improving my vibe-code radar.

I suppose it depends mostly on what you intend to do.

FWIW, Wine makes you potentially vulnerable to malware that targets M$ otherwise. As such, I prefer sandboxed solutions. This used to be Bottles for me. However, currently, I don’t have any need for it; I play my games through the Heroic flatpak and don’t need Wine outside of that.
