There is lots wrong with Canonical imho, but this isn't the place for it.
Debian here. IMO "btw" is reserved for a particular distribution and you know which one it is.
I do CrossFit btw.
When I have even the smallest bit of time and headspace to dedicate to it, I will switch back to Debian as it was always my favourite but really can't deal with it at the moment.
Linux Mint Debian Edition is just great for that case. If I were not so much into fedora's rpm-ostree I would be using that, or MX Linux.
I love me some atomic spins....
Dude, right? I've thought about switching to cachy or something, but every time I just can't bring myself to give up ostree.
Silverblue manages to be exciting yet boring.
As in, it is great for everyday work yet still uses newfangled tech under the hood.
I think I'm lucky in that I only had about 1.5-2 years of experience with an Arch-based distro (EndeavourOS) before switching to Bazzite, so I didn't have to unlearn years (if not decades) of traditional Linux work flows before trying to grasp the new tech.
And I love it. Anything that I've wanted to tinker with so far has been tinkerable, it's often just a different process than on a non-atomic or immutable distro.
And aside from that, it's insanely stable. It's almost impossible to break it by accident, and if you do, it has instant, failsafe rollbacks.
Anyway, I know I don't have to sell you on it lol.
The other day I was looking into "Blue Build" which allows to build your own custom Universal Blue spins, as I was wondering if it were possible to have Bazzite but with the Cachy kernel.
I think that's a bit over my head at the moment though haha
I like Debian, it is boring in the best way.
I really did not like the process of upgrading from one stable version of Debian to the next. It went OK, but i remember being anxious the whole time, compared to Ubuntu's gui workflow, and failing that, the one-command cli version that i always have to look up
I love a boring OS that just works for 90% of things and you just live with whatever the other 10% is - usually some driver quirks or peripheral funk.
I've never used the gui for upgrade but I also have a hard time remembering
do-make-release.What do you mean?
I hope this is close enough.
You’re so cooked now that I got your IP
oh shit, don't hack me bro!
Too late, I already know your username is
kieronWell I just changed my IP to
10.0.2.59so GOOD LUCK!No, that is mine!
It looks like you are running this to the AVR, wired or through wifi/BT?
So I have this old sony bravia that technically supports 120hz but only with a custom EDID, and somewhere along the line of making the EDID I screwed up the display name. But I have one HDMI going to the TV and one HDMI going to the AVR for audio (to minimize input latency). It looks even more absurd in display properties lol.
As of the latest dumpster fires over there, they're wanting to hide it nowadays!
Dumpster fires? Do you mean the untrusted repository of user-submitted build scripts getting malicious user-submitted content? :P
Keep your official packages and AUR separate, if nothing else at least don't pull from both sources with the same command
