    Where all my cachyOS homes at?

    I went Kububtu -> Pop -> Arch with Sway -> Fedora KDE -> Arch again, now with KDE. I like Arch, been using it for years now and no interest of switching.

    I was using Ubuntu and Linux Mint more than a decade ago, then I switched to Debian, so I guess I skipped most of this curve, lol.

    I had thought of going to Fedora next but I ask myself why !

    SUSE is German Ubuntu, change my mind.

    Ive only been using linux for a few months and still dont feel confident that I know what im doing except when the gui can do a thing intuitively, so probably that beginning stage, except the distro Ive been using (ZorinOS) isnt on here. I think its based on Ubuntu tho so maybe that covers it idk. Been thinking about trying a different distro to see if its any better but reinstalling all my stuff again sounds like a hassle so I might just stick with the setup I have for awhile longer.

    I've bricked my installation just by logging into root in openSUSE. I am not touching this shit again. I love my arch

    I ve been running SUSE for 3years now, it never broke; when I wqs unhappy with an update O rolles back. This is the chilliest distro in my opinion after trying Mint(2 years) and Debian (2years)

    Out of curiosity, where on this curve lies "20k lines of Nix config"? (Asking for a friend πŸ‘€)

    I have Mint on my laptop, manage Ubuntu Servers at work, run Debian on my home servers, have a working LFS build on my old pc, but use Windows on my main desktop. Where am I on the chart?

    I like to think I'm the right-most Fedora, but some days I'm for sure the other Fedora.

    I started from Ubuntu. Now I use Mint.

    [–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

    Kubuntu on my desktop, Debian on my server, postmarketOS on my phone. Where do I fit?

    "Almost bricks their machine" lol

    It's not an iphone, breaking the boot sequence won't brick it. But sure, go ahead, lecture everyone else...

    Plotting a route to the peak of mount stupid, I suppose.

    I've needed to change my computer within the next six months for the last five years, and the plan is to try out NixOS, because as a programmer it looks like a reasonable kind of OS, despite all the warnings to the contrary (shame it's Linux and not BSD, though... the more I learn about Linux and BSD, the more reasonable BSD looks).

    I haven't significantly used Linux since I was studying over two decades ago, and I'm pretty certain the last time I set up a Linux system it was Slackware.

    My plan is to read the allegedly insufficient documentation and try to figure it out from there. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

    Wish me luck, I'll certainly need it.
