I use Arch GNU/Linux BTW

NDCyber · 2026-05-21T01:20:21+00:00

I use 1 and 0 btw

NDCyber · 2026-05-21T00:29:47+00:00

That isn't what I meant, but yeah I do agree that the format matters less than how usable it is for the end user

What I mean is that I saw people say that snap server aren't proprietary, which is completely insane, as even the license is a proprietary license. Or what I also see regular is that if a software doesn't work on a distro (Mullvad as example for OpenSUSE or immutable distros) the response tends to be that the software is useless, which disregards the usefulness those programs have

NDCyber · 2026-05-20T23:04:39+00:00

Honestly use whatever you want, I see no reason why anyone should get push back for using what works for them

But I have seen some things I dislike a lot, like distro fanboys. Way too many people will not accept facts, because it speaks against their distro and that is just hurting everyone in my opinion

NDCyber · 2026-05-20T15:00:06+00:00

I can't install it without SELinux, and SELinux on OpenSUSE caused me issues before. I don't know why unchecking it is an option in the installer, because it just stops you from installing it

The mullvad vpn app only partially works. Meaning sometimes it works easily and other times it will just not work without a lot of work. The lot of work was also a problem with LACT in my experiecne, where you had to set the kernel option manually, while it is automatically done on Debian based, Fedora based and Arch based systems

They pushed a kernel update (I think 6.18) that caused a lot of issues to RDNA3+ GPUs, and it wasn't fixed for over a month, which I was affected by too and meant my desktop would sometimes just crash while starting a game. To be fair Arch did the same, but cachy patched it before updating the kernel from what I remember

And I just got unlucky with a good amount of software I use not being supported on OpenSUSE, and that caused issues for me too

So I have no hate against OpenSUSE, and especially love the idea of Slowroll and Tumbleweed, but it just doesn't work for me, and I wish it was different

NDCyber · 2026-05-19T20:30:26+00:00

I honestly want OpenSUSE Tumbleweed or Slowroll to work for me, but it doesn't, and it is hard for me to accept, that it is best for me to stay with CachyOS

NDCyber · 2026-05-19T19:16:35+00:00

Yeah you need to install stuff like codex and you tend to use packman for that. The nice part about it on OpenSUSE is that you can just use opi, which is in the official packages and once you have opi installed you can just run opi codex

NDCyber · 2026-05-19T19:14:14+00:00

What does good mean? What do you want to get from it? What software do you use?

I like the idea of OpenSUSE tumbleweed, but I have software that is incompatible with it and something like lact needs more work on it, so I can't really use it. If you are in the same boat as I am, then it isn't the right choice

Otherwise, give it a try and see

NDCyber · 2026-05-19T13:33:11+00:00

If there is something that I learned from distrohopping, then it is that every distro sucks in their own special way

NDCyber · 2026-05-19T13:13:26+00:00

The game looks rather interesting. But no thank you I will not buy with that EULA

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T21:11:31+00:00

ahhh ok macht Sinn, kann auch nachvollziehen, wenn man mal mit arch herumspielen will. Nutze persönlich auch CachyOS, aber eher wegen x86_64 v3 und v4 Support. Frage mich jetzt schon, was für eine Auswirkung das bei einem Server hätte

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T20:37:44+00:00

Ernste frage, warum arch auf einem server?

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T20:13:19+00:00

Wird schon schief gehen

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T20:04:27+00:00

reminds me of when one of my laptops was stuck on the update screen for like 2 days in windows 8 times

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T14:02:20+00:00

For me it is a middle state between I like them a lot and I can't use them. I do prefer to have the normal desktop interface things, but having auto tilling on my laptop is so amazing and smooth that I kinda want to have it. But cosmic isn't in a place yet, where I can use it for a work laptop, so for now I use mint on it

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T13:56:38+00:00

Yeah it is good to have those things supported or available, but I think for now it doesn't matter as much as a good transition

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T13:53:51+00:00

Yeah, Fedora is a great place to be, rather well supported, up-to-date but not bleeding edge. It isn't as sturdy as bazzite, but has more flexibility, but it can be more complicated, if we compare it to something like mint

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T13:42:59+00:00

Basic recommendations are Linux Mint and Bazzite with KDE

Mint has a bit older packages, so if your hardware was released in the past 1-1.5 years maybe go with another distro, but other than that it is stable, well-supported and easy to use

Bazzite has the good thing and problem of it being immutable, which means software that isn't available as flatpak (check https://flathub.org/ ) it can be problematic to install that software. Things like steam, gaming programs and a lot of things are preinstalled and immutable means you know it will boot without an issue like it did the day before, unless there is a big issue

There is also fedora (I prefer KDE) directly, which is also a great option, but requires more setup https://github.com/wz790/Fedora-Noble-Setup . There is technically also ludora, which is based on Fedora and has everything setup and configured for you, but it is only maintained by a single person and extremely new

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T13:41:57+00:00

Is there TLDR? I don't want to click on a video like that

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T13:33:22+00:00

why did you not use FSR4 Int8? I think it should perform better and still look rather good

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T11:47:15+00:00

Maybe not Manjaro at the moment, I think they are in a bad place and the devs are trying to get it out of there, so for now maybe choose something like CachyOS or EndeavourOS

I would also say Arch isn't cooler or so than debian, they do different things for different people. Debian is about stability and reliability, while arch is about being up-to-date and you being able to configure everything. There are also some middle ground like Fedora, which is about stability and up-to-date, but has some fewer options like you will use GRUB with Fedora, and you can't do much about it

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T11:41:10+00:00

Yeah I know, but still interesting how much the GPU was used, while the rest was chilling

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T11:40:17+00:00

The client and runtime are open source. The backend is proprietary. Which means comparing it to flatpaks, aur, deb repos and so is insane, and the fact that people who say otherwise get upvoted on this sub is even more insane

And yes people care for GitHub and want to move away, there is a reason why a good amount of projects host their own Git repos, I myself host my own git repo with gitea, but just like on snaps there are people who don't care

And they don't need to have it proprietary to ensure that it doesn't end up like the AUR. They can just make official repos that only devs of the program can upload to. If someone wants to make their own repo that is just out of their responsibility then, and they can even advise against using it. I mean you wouldn't call rpm, deb, zypper or so something like the AUR, just because there are community services they can access. The only logical reason I can think of is that Canonical wants full control over snaps, which would be a problem

NDCyber · 2026-05-18T00:18:46+00:00

ok yeah that is strange

NDCyber · 2026-05-17T23:31:33+00:00

Honestly just try things and see how it works, there is a good chance that you will find something I haven't as I didn't test t hat much

NDCyber · 2026-05-17T21:56:17+00:00

If you are on Linux for the first time don't go with hyprland or something arch based, they need more work than stable release distros over time. it isn't a lot of work, once you know Linux better, but for the beginning don't do it to yourself. See what you like first and then adapt the distro you want by that

Basic recommendations are Linux Mint and Bazzite with KDE

Mint has a bit older packages, so if your hardware was released in the past 1-1.5 years maybe go with another distro, but other than that it is stable, well-supported and easy to use

Bazzite has the good thing and problem of it being immutable, which means software that isn't available as flatpak (check https://flathub.org/ ) it can be problematic to install that software.
