I’ve just moved my workstations from #NixOS to #opensuse. Not because of the ruccus in the community or any political views (well… maybe a little, but because I want to enjoy computing, not be bombarded with negativity), but because it ate up too much of my time. 1 theming issue last night took me all night to iron out, and it’s just too much at this point. I love #NixOS on the server, but I’m moving back to “plain old” tumbleweed. (Thx @thelinuxcast …)
Another #Linux rant because nothing ever works and the community keeps disappointing me.
Why in the world does everyone say #KDENeon works so good it's "the most reliable KDE distro ever, been using it for 48723698 years!" when in the FIRST day everything keeps breaking? I've been losing the whole day trying to fix KDE Neon, NOTHING works! I just want to play my games... :(
Genuinely thinking to go back to Windows after 7ish years of daily driving Linux... I've been getting disappointed more and more. I hoped for Linux to improve with reliability, but it never did. It just keeps breaking.
All this "high customisability" comes at a cost, clearly.
I swear, #Linux is the only OS where i have to set my cursor settings three times, at least. ( Qt, GTK, Flatpak )
I don't want to go back on #Kubuntu because snapd keeps coming back like a virus. But at this point seems like i don't have choice... Maybe #OpenSUSE will work idk... Prolly not...
I've been trying a few Linux distributions (openSUSE Tumbleweed, Fedora, Debian, Mint) and I noticed how freaking difficult it still is to install Wine and DXVK.
Come on! It's been how long? Most Windows refugees will want to install Wine. It should be as simple as:
@mfjurbala the distribution really is just a matter of choice. Generally speaking the newer the better, so rolling releases like #opensuse tumbleweed or #ArchLinux, #Fedora or #Siduction are a good choice.
Most windows game work pretty good now, if you play online and the game has anticheat you may have an issue there.
A bold statement from Dirk Mueller on the OpenSUSE blog:
"Debian, as well as the other affected distributions like openSUSE are carrying a significant amount of downstream-only patches to essential open-source projects, like in this case OpenSSH. With hindsight, that should be another Heartbleed-level learning for the work of the distributions. These patches built the essential steps to embed the backdoor, and do not have the scrutiny that they likely would have received by the respective upstream maintainers. Whether you trust Linus Law or not, it was not even given a chance to chime in here. Upstream did not fail on the users, distributions failed on upstream and their users here."
