    What if the perfect distro were the configs we made along the way?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    Only to drop them all in favor of nixos. However you mostly can translate your config into configuration.nix

    I was hopping several distros.

    Ubuntu. Nah not my thing.

    Fedora. Mhh yeah but I have Nvidia isn't there sth. For me?

    Ah yes Nobara. Nice a distro from the glorious eggroll guy.

    Switched because of stupid reasons..... To:

    Debian-trixie. Cool that's the distro I will stay.

    My system gets somehow into a boot loop after 60 seconds of logging in....

    Ok let's try Linux Mint. Mhh on my laptop it works better... Nah my hardware doesn't like Mint.

    Nixos. Holy shit is that difficult to use. I love it! Stable as fuck. Bleeding edge almost. Newer gonna use sth. else. That thing is amazing and a ton of work to do anything.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago (7 children)

    NixOS? Ain't nobody got time for that. I still try to not struggle with weird flickering while gaming using EndeavourOS + Hyprland using Nvidia graphics. It's a pain. But one day I'll make it work and it will feel so good.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I can install Vanilla Arch in 10 minutes, how is EndeavourOS "a pain" ?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    I didn't say EndeavourOS was a pain. Read it again. The combination of hardware and software is the problem, not the OS.

    I mean I love it but I really can't recommend it to anyone who wants to use their PC without spending several hours to do simple things.

    For me it's become all about convenience. Is Ctrl-Alt-T preconfigured to open a terminal? Can I move it around with Super-[arrows]? Are all the drivers and codecs I need in the standard repos? No (or little enough) bloatware? Then I've found a distro for me. I don't care about anything else anymore.

    MABOX Linux may be the distro for you!

    Fedora KDE Spin also does not have a lot of the mentioned feature. I don't think it's about the de but more about the maintainers

    I hop and hop but always return to POP

    There’s no single perfect distro.

    Some are stable, some run light. Some are fully featured. Some are bleeding edge.

    And some are for plotting world domination.

    But there’s only one for saving the world.

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (2 children)

    Arch can be whatever you want it to be 😇 you just have to form it yourself.

    and them there's nixOS being everything that you said

    [–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

    Dude. Why are you telling people how to stop me?!

    [–] [email protected] 43 points 7 months ago (1 children)

    Wrong, my distro is the perfect distro, everyone else is just adding to fragmentation

    [–] [email protected] 18 points 7 months ago

    So, you’re on the world domination kick.
