I have fully switched my arch to flatpak only( for user installs obviously). There are still some apps missing features like anything requiring secure credential storage (i.e tutanota) , but for the most part using flatpaks has been an amazing experience, if you can live with the increased required storage needs.

came here for this

I don’t understand the hype with Bazzite. I mean, any linux is better than windows and Bazzite is just linux with bloat and a bad one at that.

my experience with Bazzite: install, use LACT to attemp a small overclock, crash, reboot, lots of packagers missing from distro, uninstall, went back to vanilla Arch.

immutable distros are just a hype and nothing more.

I’ve been an arch user for years and recently switched to Cachy cause of performance promises and curiosity. I did use their repos before in arch,but I ended up with a mess and instead of fixing the mess I decided to wipe the slate clean.

It’s a decent distribution ,like most,but it did offer me 0 stutters in Path of Exile 2. With Arch I had so many stutters for some reason that it was really unplayable. I think anancy-cpp or kernel schedulers, or everything combined, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Anyway, fire up a vm, or install on baremetal and decide for yourself .

it’s a very interesting distribution. it feels and probably is slightly faster than arch, with their optimised packages (I had v3), but to be honest you have to rely on their prebuilt binaries and I prefer flatpaks.

I used it for ~ 3 months, but eventually went back to arch and flatpaks (using flatpaks on cache defeats the purpose of having v3/v4 packages, until someone starts bundling optimised dependencies ).

I prefer the originals always, but it is a viable alternative if you enjoy a friendly installer (their Anaconda is very nice).

my favourite shell just got better!

All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of systemd/Linux!

but are they really? how about distros without systemd what would you call those OpenRC/Linux? systemd is indeed a giant intricate project,which is why some people don’t like it or are against it,but all its components are working alongside the Linux kernel, without which there wouldn’t be a need for system. I would say it’s rather Linux with systemd,as systemd is optional.

edit: useless autocorrect

kde without a doubt. I tried so many times to get into gnome,even using fedora and always failed after a couple of days and went back to plasma.

I just accepted it in the end and stopped even caring that gnome exists. Competition is good though and I do hope gnome keeps going.

Still no Wayland support for Budgie. That is really the only reason I used Solus in the past. As a rolling distro Arch is still king.

I genuinely didn’t know about this. I’ve been avoiding immutable OSes as I’ve had issues with distros like Bazzite in the past where packages completely disappeared from my system after a freeze when overclocking my GPU,which ruined the whole experience for me.

However, I’m interested in blend os,which unfortunately comes with gnome by default,but I will give it another try with layering plasma on it next time I try it,cause the idea of a distrobox centric distro is really appealing.

End rant.

Thanks for sharing this.

I could never get that to work for some of my devices,so I had to use virtualbox,which works very well.

Very very nice work. Thanks for your effort and willingness to experiment with new stuff. i would definitely be interested in trying it out once it reaches “production”.

That FreeBSD club looks pretty good. There’s a niche for every niche.

Thanks for sharing this. I will install hyperland.

Do you base all your thought system on what the internet says? Poor kid…

Right,let’s release all murderers on purely the fact they didn’t think they were going to kill someone. Jeez and I thought Lemmy would be a better place…

No,not death sentence,but i noticed people here are worryingly apologetic for murder. It is murder,not in the 1st degree off,but still murder.

25 years with no parole and that’s that. I’m sorry,I just can’t find excuses for drunk driving murders like some people do. It’s my belief system,not a standard.

Imagine having your children killed - probably hard if you don’t have children and the reading your comment.

I anything ,the justice system should be more punishing for such cases. How can you even mention forgiveness for drunk driving,showing off,killing people and then asking for it with such a worryingly easiness?

Forgiveness for what,for being a blatant sociopath? Really? If I were that lady I would have preferred enjoying the rest of my life with my children as opposed to forgiving a murderer and knowing he might do it again,cause it’s easy to forgive and “Forgiveness is a powerful thing”. This is not a case for forgiveness,but harsher punishment.

Again: you’re asking for forgiveness for a drunk driving murderer of people and children.

Same here. Ir’s very bloated. You can decide on what to install,but if you do install all that bloat,you need to be prepared. I tried their AMD GPU overclock tool and after a got a black screen, I ended up with missing packages. Immediately went back to Arch.

Edit:words

I calculate percentage like this. If 100% is the value, then I know what 10% is, then1%, so I do increments of both until I get to the correct value.

It may sound stupid,but it does help me get a % fast enough.
