Ubuntu does make things easier.

I had everything set up the way I wanted it in Ubuntu the other day… but something still itched a bit so now I’m on Tumbleweed and feeling better. :D

Though Diablo 4 tends to crash after playing it for a while… not sure if I’d have the same issue in Ubuntu or not, might have to triple boot for a bit just to try it out. I really do want to stay here in chameleon land though so it would probably be better to just try to find the cause of the crashing.

I do think this is a pretty common thing among us linux geeks though, never really feeling content and just wanting to try everything. :)

Never did try BlackArch or Rainmeter though!

I’ve played around with plenty of distros though… Slackware, Redhat, Gentoo, Arch, *buntu, SuSE (before they split into openSUSE), openSUSE, Manjaro, Endeavour OS and probably a bunch more that I can’t even remember but those are probably the ones I’ve played around with the most.

I am starting to realize how handy flatpaks can be!

I’ve been distro hopping like a madman these last couple of days and it’s gotten so much easier to get going with my games now!

I’m still happy WSL exists, it’s definitely better than nothing if you’re stuck in Windows land!

Sounds pretty nice tbh!

Yeah, that’s basically where you go if you ever have some obscure problem, it’s incredibly useful really.

I know, I do that too but it’s just not quite the same for some reason.

Isn’t it kind of strange that a lot of us equal stable with boring? I know I do at times as well.

There’s something satisfying with stuff breaking and managing to fix them I suppose

Been there, done that eh? :D

It’s strange really. I’ve used Ubuntu on and off since… 8.4 or something like that but I’ve never tried Debian. Don’t even know why.

Arch really is a documentation project rather than a distro, their wiki tops most everything out there :)

Or openSUSE Tumbleweed :)

Is Debian Testing actually rolling I thought they froze it before new stable releasea?

I’m starting to want to try Pop… they seem to have quite a few fans around here!

Sometimes I wish I had a machine dedicated to nothing but reinstalling different distros. :)

It can get a bit disrupting to do it on your main rig too often.

Feels like that’s pretty common these days. Most of the big distros are polished enough to get the work done without jumping through too many hoops really.

I can see the charm in that tbh.

I like the idea of Gentoo, it’s a pretty cool concept. Just a time consuming one as well. :) I remember my problem with it was that I couldn’t really decide how I wanted my system to end up while I was setting it up… which kind of defeats the purpose a bit I felt.
