I have been using Linux forever. I’ve used Red hat, SUSE, Debian, Slackware, Mandrake, Ubuntu and now Arch with KDE. Part of the fun is trying different distros.

I’ve currently settled with vanilla Arch with KDE (Gnome get it together) and a bunch of flatpaks for user software stuff. I really like rolling releases these days. Just keep the core install minimal and tight.

Also the Arch forum community is top notch.

With that said I would start with package manager and desktop GUI you like and then go from there.

Would have like it more if Kitty would have not left a feather and gut mess.

Neighbor’s cat murdered a bird the other week. The next day, I found random bird flesh piece on my back deck. It happens.

Hopefully in Arch already

Article for the sake of having an article.

Pretty good! I’m liking kde. It’s very user friendly and you didn’t have to tweak the crap out of it.

This picture made me yawn 🤣

Depends. Ha ha

RPMs at work, Debs for my RaspberryPi devices. PacMan (Arch) and Flatpaks for home.

Flatpaks are great. I install my core os and gui with the base package management. All my user side packages are Flatpaks. I then use Flatseal to lock down and modify Flatpaks as needed. What’s great is running programs like wine without installing a ton of dependencies and then locking the install from parts of my computer I don’t want it to have access to.

They support Flatpaks, which are nice

I really like Gnome Boxes but they’re no 3d acceleration for Windows installs yet, right?

Flatseal is good, just not official.

Steam Deck is using Flatpaks so…

Endlessly reading on social media that is not a good from Linux “gurus”. LOL

It’s been great for me, but I wish it had a official gui for permissions management.

Divide the total cost by how many years of OS updates are given by the manufacturer.

The issue with Linux is getting middle management to support it. I’m my experience is based on them laying you off and hiring somebody else. Linux is great but management needs support contracts.

Are there more than just Steam Deck?

Nope. I have to know how fix everyone else’s computer.

This is like removing a safety feature in your car. Like removing seatbelts or maybe anti-lock brakes.
