    can’t understand how manjaro is still alive, given how much better endeavouros configures the system

    [–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Yeah, no idea. EOS is much better in every single way.

    I haven't tried endeavor is yet. In what ways is it better than Manjaro?

    [–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

    in my experience manjaro install had a weird unnecessary customizations in terms of configuring things. Applications broke more often and it was harder to apply common fixes. Not very beginner-friendly because of that. Endeavor results in a much cleaner and simpler install

    If system-breaking updates ship to consumers, the QA system doesn't work.

    openSUSE TW is rolling release and their openQA system is extremely robust.

    Why would I want Plasma 6 on a stable release. That's not why people use Debian

    I really do want to thank Arch, Fedora, NixOS, OpenSUSE users for beta testing software for me.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (6 children)

    Arch is the least buggy distro I ever tried.

    Except for Slackware maybe. Slackware has literally no bugs. If it doesn't behave like it should, it's your fault.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    Same. I've switched to Arch from Ubuntu as my main os almost 10 years ago and in all that time I've had a problem that goes beyond inconvenience level maybe twice. In fact Ubuntu broke more often.

    In a way, Squidward is really like Debian, if those two are Arch and NixOS. And as I grow older, I can relate to Squidward more and more...

    no thanks, I reached the point in my life where I prefer stability, especially with my main machine. I love Debian, only because it's Debian. πŸ’›

    Made the switch on EndeavourOS this morning and so far so good. I was hesitant to update to Wayland because I'm still a newb and heard there were issues, but my system is AMD based so no problems (yet).

    I like it

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

    I think most people complaining about Wayland nowadays are just Nvidia users. I don't have any problems with it on my AMD GPU.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

    My biggest issue with wayland was screensharing on Discord, but plasma 6 fixed that with xwaylandvideobridge

    I've been using Wayland as a daily driver for a few years now, and I'd say it's ready for 98% of use cases

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    For my use cases (audio, programming, engineering school, watching crap on FreeTube) I value stability and predictability over security and shiny new stuff. In the rare cases that things break, they break in ways that are already well-understood, so usually have workarounds or solutions.

    In the few cases I do need something newer than the Debian repos provide, I just use Flatpaks or get an updated .deb from the devs of the particular software.

    So yeah, zero rush for Plasma 6 for me. It looks nice, but I'll just be chilling on Plasma 5 until it comes out.

    [–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (5 children)

    There is a fine line between stable and outdated. Some debian pakages are like 2 years out of date. I just cant handle that on a desktop.

    Arch is actually pretty stable. And one of the best things about using arch is the arch wiki which is the best documentation I've ever seen for any distro.

    My experience trying to solve specific issues on Debian and Ubuntu lead me down rabbit holes of forums where even the accepted answer is wrong.

    I'm on KDE Arch and switched about a week ago. I have an Nvidia card and went straight from x11 to Wayland plasma 6. It's definitely prettier and smoother, but it's absolutely not as stable. Idk if that's an Nvidia things, a Wayland thing, or a plasma 6 thing, but I definitely have fairly consistent display issues after switching. I have a btrfs snapshot from right before I updated that's at plasma 5, so I have a fallback if I want it. It's mostly just an inconvenience right now, so I'll probably just ride it out for a while and see if things improve.

    [–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

    Nvidia hates users. Nvidia, fuck you

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

    It's definitely Wayland on Nvidia, I had the same issues, Element had a flickering black screen. Switching the default session from Wayland to X11 fixed all issues.

    Have you tried updating your drivers?

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

    I just applied the update to my old laptop that has been kickin KDE on Arch for a while now. The only thing I noticed was it took longer to load the desktop the first time, my theme was broken but everything was fine when I selected the default dark theme. The fonts look different but otherwise its the same as it ever was

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

    Currently running endeavour and having fun with the update.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

    What distros have more up to date packages than Debian but aren't as bleeding edge as arch? I'm looking for an in between.

    [–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

    Fedora is great. Heavily modded distros like Nobara is awesome too specifically for gaming but for privacy I recommend doing a thorough look over.

    Actually, I enjoy not having to rush to reconfigure my DE

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

    Apparently the upgrade (including configuration) is incredibly smooth. Those interested in tinkering with the vanilla experience have had to install it in a VM.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

    I understand it won't be trivial but I wonder if, theoretically, a team can ship & maintain a KDE 6 "flatpak" or "snap"

    I mean in technical terms, not that they would with the non technical mistakes Ubuntu keeps doing.

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

    I can't see the point in that? Certain tools could work fine, but the actual desktop environment? It'd be running in a sandbox and would need to be given access to everything to function presumably. The various tools need to communicate with each other and the X11 or Wayland composite. So the flatpak container would just be overhead with a lot of duplication of system libraries? I'm not even sure it's possible but I don't know enough of the limitations of flatpak.

    It's an interesting idea to test and play wth but I can't see it as an actual viable means of distribution.

    If you wanted to play with plasma 6 then Virtual box and KDE Neon or Arch would be the way, and would negate the work needed to to get it working via flatpak. So I guess what would be the benefit for anyone to build and test it via flatpak even if for feasible?
