@fabian#distrohopping is a state of mind :) Installations do not count. E.g., you read the news and say oh, some day I will try this distro; you are a distrohopper :P
Hardcase just made the distro hop from Manjaro GNOME to Ultramarine KDE, and it just keeps getting better. Wake from sleep is MUCH faster now, and everything feels more smooth and polished.
For people who don’t want to bother with manually adding repos and changing default settings to make Fedora more user-friendly, Ultramarine Linux is a great drop-in replacement. Definitely give it a try.
Hevy has taken a distro hop from Manjaro GNOME to Nobara 39 KDE, while paying tribute to our favorite bounty hunter.
Congratulations to the team developing Nobara. This was probably the easiest time I’ve EVER had installing and configuring a distro. It found my T420’s hybrid graphics and configured it automatically. Everything worked right OOTB on a 12-year-old ThinkPad.
Probé #fedora por estar entre las oficialmente soportadas y en efecto, todo funcionó. Creo que la la laptop que estoy dejando se quedará con fedora, pues en esa una #RollingRelease no iría tan bien.
Pero para la Framework voy a probar #OpenSuse tumbleweed, por lo de rolling. Un mes de prueba a ver si logra quedarse conmigo y si todo sale bien quizá hasta migre la de escritorio.
For those of y'all who have more than one computer / laptop at home and don't need them for work... do you always install the same OS stack on them or try to keep it diverse to experiment / explore each OS independently?
How did I spend my morning? Since I'm in a "distro testing" mood, #nixos was running my CPU and GPU fans low (current guess), so my thermals were warmer than expected. I wondered if another distro would result in the same thing. Installed #popos for fun, half of everything locked up and I had to force quit, even to install a font! Installed Arch again and will be testing thermals shortly. More thoughts later...
Games have been restored and it works! I need to see if I can set the refresh rate via configuration file. I forgot to set it and wondered why the game looked so bad.
Also, Bluetooth is hot garbage like most #linux distros. My keyboard keeps connecting and disconnecting. It may be a #cinnamon thing because I don't have this issue with #KDE.
I'll get my #neovim files moved over from my Mac and see how it does.
I have done next to nothing all weekend, and whilst part of me is loving it, the other part of me is screaming at me to do something more productive.
So I'm going to backup my home folder in readiness for a nuke & pave of my laptop to go from #KDE to #Sway, still on #endeavouros (or should I try a new Distro? 🤔) ah, somebody stop me!!!
It's been a while since I last used it, I've been binging too much on Debian Sid these past few months, I guess. Feels nice to pop back that HDD in and update it to 13.2, all pkgs and stuff too. Unix mode, baby!
Moved back to #popos for like the 4th time. #distrohopping is a pain. I think this might hopefully be my final time, as I figured out solutions to my problems. Decided to go fully #flatpak for more up to date packages and figured out how to theme gtk4 apps using #gradience to be more like pop os's gtk3 theme. That paired with a gnome extension to add rounded corners to gtk3 apps has finally allowed me to have a cohesive desktop experience on pop os. Heres to hoping :popos: is my final home!
Has anyone recently switched from #popos to #fedora? Not looking to start any wars here, I've been a happy user of Pop for years... But I think I would benefit from switching to a more upstream #gnome experience. I'm already using #flatpak extensively. I'm also on a common model of Thinkpad, so not worried about any hardware issues. Are there any challenges I should prepare for in the transition? Something I might have overlooked that could impact my productivity?
Well, I've been considering it for a while now, but I've distro-hopped my laptop from Fedora to #Debian....mainly since I know I'm probably gonna be using my laptop very infrequently at this point, after it was my main computer that I'd bring to university (and even then it became redundant due to COVID).
I've been thinking about it for a while now, WELL before the current dumbassery that Red Hat's been pulling off this year. That's mostly coincidental. Mostly.
As you can see, I've been supplementing the VERY stable base of Debian with #Flatpak for most of my apps.
