Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
  •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!


    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

    I'm on Tumbleweed right now. Used to be on Arch flavors, Garuda then Cachy OS.

    Tumbleweed is almost as fast for gaming performance, I just don't have it in me to do all the tinkering anymore. Just want something up to date that works.

    Arch was... great and pretty reliable, just got tired of the tinkering.

    As someone mildly interested in OpenSUSE and currently on an Arch-based distro, how much do you miss AUR? Or do you use Distrobox?

    [–] Evrala@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    I don't miss AUR. Well, I do but opensuse has OBS. Technically OBS is better as packages can be rebuilt automatically when dependencies are updated, but there are a lot more users on the AUR than OBS so AUR has more stuff on it.

    OBS packages are less likely to break your system in an update, but the AUR is just flat out bigger.

    There hasn't been anything I've needed that I haven't been able to find either on OBS or as a flatpak. When something isn't in the disro repos, I look for a flatpak first, then check OBS. Mostly cause flatpaks are easier to search.
