@Carter @H2207 You don’t really have to tinker with any distro. Once you set it up just let it be with a schedule of updates that fits your usecase. If you feel compelled to constantly update and rejigger, that’s you, not the distro. I have a Mankato machine that has been sitting for a couple of years with monthly security updates.

@CAPSLOCKFTW @anonono of I rsymc an entire drive, does it preserve all attributed and partitions, or does it just sync a particular file system.
@CrabAndBroom @throwawayish I like flatpacks and their integration into some stores and the ease of update makes me not hate them. Unfortunately, this is where Linux is headed. Containerization and immutability.
Luckily, we will always have lots of distros to choose from.
@Zeus I use pathfinder for a finder replacement. Two panes. But ever since they went subscription I have been looking for alternatives. I hate subscriptions almost as much as I hate single pane.
@Zeus and we do have options. Plasma is my go to, though I do have a Vanilla OS machine running Gnome with several extensions. It’s pretty good except for the window position thing. That’s my biggest gripe. That and the file manager being single pane, though that seems to be a computing industry standard at this point. So I install Nemo.
@Zeus I have no clue what their intention is. Is it to become Apple with their refusal to let people theme their operating system.
@Zeus I agree! I am not sure who they think they are making it for, and I fail to understand why so many distros still default to it. It is still usable, of course, but a lot of what they have done to it is very user-hostile
@otter @Zucca Public admissions of such a crime are not smart! 😀
