Rolling release?

Welcome to Manjaro.

[-] iarigby@lemmy.world 44 points 3 months ago

can’t understand how manjaro is still alive, given how much better endeavouros configures the system

[-] SexualPolytope@lemmy.sdf.org 19 points 3 months ago

Yeah, no idea. EOS is much better in every single way.

I haven't tried endeavor is yet. In what ways is it better than Manjaro?

[-] iarigby@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

in my experience manjaro install had a weird unnecessary customizations in terms of configuring things. Applications broke more often and it was harder to apply common fixes. Not very beginner-friendly because of that. Endeavor results in a much cleaner and simpler install

If system-breaking updates ship to consumers, the QA system doesn't work.

openSUSE TW is rolling release and their openQA system is extremely robust.

Why would I want Plasma 6 on a stable release. That's not why people use Debian

I really do want to thank Arch, Fedora, NixOS, OpenSUSE users for beta testing software for me.

[-] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 12 points 3 months ago

Arch is the least buggy distro I ever tried.

Except for Slackware maybe. Slackware has literally no bugs. If it doesn't behave like it should, it's your fault.

[-] tty5@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Same. I've switched to Arch from Ubuntu as my main os almost 10 years ago and in all that time I've had a problem that goes beyond inconvenience level maybe twice. In fact Ubuntu broke more often.

Made the switch on EndeavourOS this morning and so far so good. I was hesitant to update to Wayland because I'm still a newb and heard there were issues, but my system is AMD based so no problems (yet).

I like it

[-] lemmeee@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago

I think most people complaining about Wayland nowadays are just Nvidia users. I don't have any problems with it on my AMD GPU.

[-] Lightfire228@pawb.social 8 points 3 months ago

My biggest issue with wayland was screensharing on Discord, but plasma 6 fixed that with xwaylandvideobridge

I've been using Wayland as a daily driver for a few years now, and I'd say it's ready for 98% of use cases

[-] kuneho@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

In a way, Squidward is really like Debian, if those two are Arch and NixOS. And as I grow older, I can relate to Squidward more and more...

[-] nexussapphire@lemm.ee 5 points 3 months ago

Come to the dark side, join the sid.

[-] kuneho@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

no thanks, I reached the point in my life where I prefer stability, especially with my main machine. I love Debian, only because it's Debian. 💛

For my use cases (audio, programming, engineering school, watching crap on FreeTube) I value stability and predictability over security and shiny new stuff. In the rare cases that things break, they break in ways that are already well-understood, so usually have workarounds or solutions.

In the few cases I do need something newer than the Debian repos provide, I just use Flatpaks or get an updated .deb from the devs of the particular software.

So yeah, zero rush for Plasma 6 for me. It looks nice, but I'll just be chilling on Plasma 5 until it comes out.

[-] Hemi03@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 3 months ago

There is a fine line between stable and outdated. Some debian pakages are like 2 years out of date. I just cant handle that on a desktop.

Arch is actually pretty stable. And one of the best things about using arch is the arch wiki which is the best documentation I've ever seen for any distro.

My experience trying to solve specific issues on Debian and Ubuntu lead me down rabbit holes of forums where even the accepted answer is wrong.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

I'm on KDE Arch and switched about a week ago. I have an Nvidia card and went straight from x11 to Wayland plasma 6. It's definitely prettier and smoother, but it's absolutely not as stable. Idk if that's an Nvidia things, a Wayland thing, or a plasma 6 thing, but I definitely have fairly consistent display issues after switching. I have a btrfs snapshot from right before I updated that's at plasma 5, so I have a fallback if I want it. It's mostly just an inconvenience right now, so I'll probably just ride it out for a while and see if things improve.

[-] uis@lemm.ee 12 points 3 months ago

Nvidia hates users. Nvidia, fuck you

[-] tron@midwest.social 5 points 3 months ago

It's definitely Wayland on Nvidia, I had the same issues, Element had a flickering black screen. Switching the default session from Wayland to X11 fixed all issues.

Have you tried updating your drivers?

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I just applied the update to my old laptop that has been kickin KDE on Arch for a while now. The only thing I noticed was it took longer to load the desktop the first time, my theme was broken but everything was fine when I selected the default dark theme. The fonts look different but otherwise its the same as it ever was

[-] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Currently running endeavour and having fun with the update.

[-] SpaceTurtle224@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

What distros have more up to date packages than Debian but aren't as bleeding edge as arch? I'm looking for an in between.

[-] wonderfulvoltaire@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Fedora is great. Heavily modded distros like Nobara is awesome too specifically for gaming but for privacy I recommend doing a thorough look over.

Conveniently the only computer where I use arch is one I use hyprland on and my only computer using plasma is running opensuse so I have to wait a bit longer to actually try it out
