What distro should I use?

This always feels like a loaded question. I don’t believe there is a one choice that is “right.”

After distro hopping and trying many, I have come to a few realizations for myself.

There are a few factors to consider:

• What Desktop Environment (if any…): KDE, GNOME, XFCE, Cosmic, etc (this gets a bit more complicated depending on if you don’t want a desktop environment. You could just go CLI or with just a Window Manager like Hyprland, Sway, i3, or others I’m unfamiliar with.)
• What package manager are you comfortable with? And what style of package management do you want? Do you want older but tested and more stable? Do you want bleeding edge?
• Is systemd a deal breaker for you?

Really what I am getting at, you don’t know what you don’t know. So test out many! You can do this in a Virtual Machine with Virtualbox on Windows before switching.

I’ve wanted to give NixOS a shot, but I have very little reason to switch away from Arch. I have my install tailored to be exactly what I want. No fuss in maintaining it either.

Perfect! Thank you!

This isn’t reddit. You wanna be toxic go there or elsewhere. Your shitty attitude is stanking up the place. Get bent lol

You misunderstand, it’s not about not liking it. It’s how you’re conducting yourself. If you don’t like something you can move on. You didn’t have anything constructive to add to the conversation. Come in talking about your emulator when someone suggests an emulator after your mini outburst. Instead of being insufferable you could have offered constructive criticism. It’s not that hard to do, unless you lack the brain cells and common decency. Or you could have just moved along.

Why are you being such a toxic twat? Who pissed in your Cheerios? You okay m8?

I’ve been playing with it. And I can’t say I love it like I love Nova.

It sure seems customizable, but the UI and wording about options could be better.

I can’t seem to make my taskbar/dock have more than 4 icons.

I’ll give this launcher a shot. It’s UI and setup is clunky comparatively to Nova. But I will play around with it more yet!

Why? I mean I’ve read talking points for having systemd and for not. What’s your take?

I have been running my own dockerized instance of SeaeXNG for years now. I love it. I have it setup behind a reverse proxy to serve a cert for https and I am always VPN’d into my home network (split tunnel for only apps I want to use my home network anyways) and it has been working like a charm.

Search results are reliable, and it’s customizable.

I am currently using Nova with internet access blocked. There is one feature no other launcher I have ever used has that Nova does: swiping on an icon on the homescreen up or down allows to launch a different app or activity.

I want to find an open source replacement but no matter what launcher I find, they all lack this feature.

Honestly, who gives a shit about the umpteenth rendition of the same damn game. Like, every single year it’s the same game with a differeny roster. Yet they release a whole new game.

They legitimately could release one every console cycle, and charge for new roster updates each year.

This type of shit is old.

Clearly it’s an LFS guide book… LFS isn’t Gentoo.

Hey valid complaints. As someone not in the need for professional editing tools i felt I’d be better to ask than to assume! Thank you for sharing

How is running windows in a virtual machine going to get stopped? Please elaborate.

Can I ask you what “sucks” about GIMP?

I much prefer handwriting in shorthand, scanning it in, running it through OCR, and cat to a file.
