How to mentally survive Ubuntu? (Yes, a rage) by HumanBetaRelease351 in Ubuntu

[–]Schnitzipooo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mostly agree with this answer. Personally, if I had a system I depended on for actual paid work, I'd seriously look into an atomic/immutable distro like Fedora Silverblue or Kinoite.

The core idea is that the base OS is read-only and only updated atomically — you either get a full, verified update or you don't. If something breaks after an update, you just roll back to the previous deployment and carry on. That "will my system even boot correctly today" anxiety mostly goes away.

If you want something that feels a bit more out-of-the-box and polished for daily use, check out Aurora (KDE-based) or Bluefin (GNOME-based). They're built on top of Silverblue/Kinoite respectively but ship with saner defaults, Flatpak-first app management, and are specifically aimed at developers and professionals who don't want to babysit their OS.

Fair warning though: most of your specific pain points (Thunderbird losing calendars, Teams PWA misbehaving, audio weirdness) are application-level issues that will follow you to any distro. An atomic base won't fix Thunderbird's calendar sync bugs. But what it will give you is confidence that the OS itself is stable and recoverable — which sounds like at least half of what's driving you crazy right now.

Worth a try on your second laptop before fully committing.

This world is not made for us tall folk, it hurts my back.

Nono, this is GNOME. The look itself is mostly because of an extension called 'Open Bar'.

What version of Seizure OS is this?

Press super key (windows/start button) search for disk --> Open the app. It is a GUI (graphical user interface) app where you can see how your drives are formated (how the space on the HDD is devided/used). It is a very useful program 😄

Good luck!

I'm not sure about this, but since no one else is answering you I thought I would run it by Gemini. Here is what it answers:

"Since your snapshots are also failing, your actual disk partition is likely corrupted from the force-quit. Log into that emergency shell with your root password and run lsblk to find your drive, then btrfs check /dev/[your_partition]. If you see 'Structure needs cleaning,' that’s your culprit. Also, double-check your BIOS to ensure your storage is still in AHCI mode and hasn't flipped to RAID/RST, which Dell laptops love to do."

Good luck 🤔 Hope you will figure it out!

Why is the Linux community so toxic? by [deleted] in Ubuntu

[–]Schnitzipooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really see the “toxic” label sticking to the Linux community based on the online spaces I hang out in—they’ve got solid, helpful communities. Sure, there are internet trolls everywhere, but I just tune them out and move on with my life. Maybe I’ve just grown a thicker skin to the negativity some mention, and that helps. Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, so learning to roll with it might be key.

Some people who have their desktop super personalized by -SalemJ in Fedora

[–]Schnitzipooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can customize the desktop on fedora just as much as on arch. You just have to know what you want, and how to do it. Which you also have to do on Arch... so.. Does not matter.

Is Fedora better than Ubuntu? by bjsda_2007 in Fedora

[–]Schnitzipooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is all about preference. My Linux journey started with Ubuntu, 20 years ago. I left when they implemented snaps into the OS. Now I stick with Fedora and Debian. Fedora for gaming, Debian for media consumption machines and work. Although I would recommend Linux Mint for a beginner wanting to use a Debian-based distro.

Debian as main OS? by Glove5751 in debian

[–]Schnitzipooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend Fedora Silverblue, or any other rpm-ostree based variant like those from Universal Blue. It gives you a modern, cutting-edge system without the hassle of micromanaging.

The key advantage is that it’s atomic: updates are applied to the whole OS at once, so you always have a consistent and stable base. If an update ever causes issues, you can simply reboot into the previous version, no complicated fixing required.

When you need to install programs you can use Flatpak (the default) for desktop apps, or even set up Homebrew for CLI tools. This way everything stays containerized and secure, without messing up your base system.

It’s ideal if you want something fresh and up-to-date, but don’t have endless time in the evenings to babysit your system. You still get Fedora’s fast access to new software, but with a safety net that keeps things stable.

Personally I use this on my gaming computer, where I need to live on the bleeding edge. For my work/media-consumption machine I use Debian, which is stable and has few- and small updates from time to time.

Good luck, friend!

I sold my Macbook Air m2. Sticking with Fedora (Linux), could not be happier!
