You assume I give a shit about the state where I live.
That's my only concern with running pure Arch. I like my computer to be usable. I'm well beyond the state where I want to spend more time tinkering and repairing than using. I do like the idea of rolling release but not bleeding edge (i.e., released 5 minutes ago). Also, I removed snaps from my Kubuntu instance first thing.
I'm looking for both personal and business. My net is cast pretty wide.
"You had my curiosity but now you have my attention." I'm a very light Infomaniak user now but I'd love to explore a NextCloud host that offered similar features.
That makes sense. I have found a new love for KDE. I had been a GNOME user for years before but I went with Pop_OS for a bit before feeling like that was a bit old. I moved over to Kubuntu for the new Plasma 6 hotness and I really like it. I've run Arch before and wasn't really keen on the instability so I haven't delved into any of the derivatives yet, although they are looking nice these days. Maybe I'll dip my toes in those waters soon. I'm still in a test phase for full-time desktop Linux, though. I'm probably going to buy a Tuxedo laptop soon and I plan to give their OS a try with the purchase.
The companies that don't buy into this hype are going to be positioned well when the bubble bursts.
What are you running now that you've moved on from Kubuntu?
There's nothing here of value. The intelligent among us want out.
Can the recompense for that be that the US citizen is then given asylum in that other country?
I guess my next system should be an AMD just because Intel may not be around for much longer to support.
I gave snaps a fair shake as well. I've never been beholden to any specific distro or family line either so I've always been open for new and better. I just struggled with the lock-in and the slower responsiveness.
I didn't have much trouble with updates on the Arch side but I saw it more as an accomplishment than a daily driver. I did run it for a few years on an older system where I needed to squeeze out efficiency. I haven't been one of those users that needed to tweak everything always for a long time.
I also appreciate the delineation between regular updates and security updates. I did my biweekly system updates for work yesterday and that delineation helps me gauge the time it will take before pressing enter.
