Gentoo LET’S GO

Just to add: some folders’ files might need modifications in the new system, e.g. .config/

As an unhappy user impacted by this and previous change(s) related to overclocking on RDNA3 I have highlighted the ongoing process.

M$. M$ never changes.

Please give a try for btop - not Rust based, but pretty good and seem to be superior to btm.

Just to add - gitui doesn’t (yet) have the commit signing, so for commiting stuff you still have to use command line, but other features are pretty useful.

sway - stable and productive. Hyprland - beautiful, but performance is worse. i3 - same as sway, but sometimes better for legacy X11 stuff or applications that are still buggy at Wayland

It’s easy to change display manager (except the case of keeping multiple of them to test out, if they are big and complex, like Gnome and KDE - there are conflicts). Some distros may have worse support for specific display managers, but I cannot say as my experience was relatively smooth for Debian, Manjaro, Arch, Endeavour and Artix. In Ubuntu I had some issues, but I could live with them for a time being because I couldn’t change the workplace OS.

But for init system it’s usually PITA. Many packages, including critical for system operation may have dependency on systemd, for example. In case of Artix Linux there are separate versions of packages for each init system that’s supported, if package has dependency on the init system.

Not only package manager - init system, wiki, display manager, community support, package freshness vs stability also play their role. There are many other points that are important too.

I would recommend EndeavorOS too, easy to install, sane config, nearly pure Arch.

Testing out Artix right now - I wanted to try out lightweight init system.

I wish they had 10 inch option. Something like GPD Win Max 2, but without gaming features

Helix 🌚

Although it’s generally good idea, you will have hardware/software issues in the future. As I remember there is LTSB out there and it was pretty solid, but in times I used it long ago, I already had a lot of issues that required hours to find a workaround.

Typical loop in this case:

• Oh, M$ is so disgusting, I never gonna switch to the new platform!

In a few months/years

• Well, my apps/hardware are not working, time to switch anyway. Not because it’s not working anymore, but because the platform is mature and I actually like it.

That should be in the FAQ

Well, Russian laws deteoriation towards the pro-government/oligarch interests is just de-jure confirmation of what was de-facto for a long time.

Be careful not to replace bash with fish as some systems fail to work with new shell. I usually init fish/nu shells with other instruments, like alacritty and/or zellij

Typical M$. Pushing half-baked and bugged products just to take a market share.
