Indeed. Maybe I'll give it another try if/when arch botches itself again.
The idea of a reproducible system is honestly great.
nixos solves this problem by allowing you to boot the last working system state prior to updates
I kinda don't want that. I want a system that doesn't break in the first place...
My experience with nix was very short lived. It mostly consisted of me wondering how to install something and people telling me to package it myself for a day of two til I gave up.
Are there any viable alternatives?
I was not aware there have been leaks. Thank you. And oh yeah. I always verify the technical stuff I tell it to write. It just makes.it.look professional in ways that would take me hours.
My experience asking for new info from it has been bad. I don't really do it anymore. But honestly. It's not needed at all.
Yes. I had both actually. Hardware and debian specific bugs, on a clean install from the live iso with barely any packages installed from apt and like 10 flatpaks. I'm a bit exhausted rn to find all the links. But let me find at least the worst one for ya.
This was the most egregious one. essentially. On a fresh install updating was broken. Yeah. It was that bad.
In addition to that there was the amd ftpm stutter. Which isn't necessarily debians fault. But it's still bad.
And I was having screen flickers. Not sure why. I was tired enough of it bugging out that I just gave up on the stable dream and went back to arch.
I tried debian stable a week or two ago. Had about 4 different showstopper bugs in 3 or so days. It doesn't seem to help much from my limited experience.
Using arch but honestly. I don't "like" any of them. Every distro I've ever used has required more setup and maintenance than I would have liked.
I really just want a system that doesn't bork itself on updates and let's me install whatever software I want. You would think that wouldn't be so impossible to find.
Won't run on tablets. Not in any useful way anyway.
And don't drink the kool aid. It's great for some things. But it's trading a set of problems for a different set of problems.
I don't play games with dark patterns anymore. And seems like almost all of them went deep into that territory which severely limits what I can play.
Indeed. bought SC in 2014. I think I accepted I got scammed and moved on around 2015.
It's insane to me there's still some people to this day that don't realize it's a pure scam.
