cujo , in So I recently deleted Linux because it was too addicting to me, and accidently locked 300gigs of my drive away.

Just for my personal curiosity, could you clarify what you mean when you say Linux is “too addicting” for you?

The Arch Linux pipeline is real, folks.

Makussu , in Is it theoretically possible to replace your prepackaged package manager and all other packages and run a different ones

Yes it probably is but there is really no sense in replacing all the packages

PMunch , in Which Tiling Window Managers do you like, and why?

I use i3, but to say that I like it is a bit overstated. It’s fine, does what I expect the very basic of a tiling window manager to do. I used Nimdow for a while and it’s pretty good, the default bar is way better than i3 (supports ANSI colour coding, mouse presses, etc.), but I could never quite get to grips with the tiling algorithm.

I’m working on my own WM though, it’s not tiling per-se, I choose to call in non-overlapping and I’m trying to solve my gripes with i3. Basically windows should not be forcefully expanded if they don’t want to. Try open galculator under i3 and watch the horror. And when expanded the size should be split based on their initial sizes. So if I have Firefox open and want to do something in a quick terminal window the terminal won’t get 1/2 of the screen. Firefox wanted more space than the terminal initially, so the terminal gets to take up a smaller share of the space.

A Linux user replacing the pre-installed OS and installing a new theme. Tale as old as time.

Gerryflap , in What distro(s) do you use?
@Gerryflap@lemmy.world avatar

My laptop is my oldest install, running Ubunutu. Started out on 14.04 and I’ve been updating ever since. My desktop runs Arch, although it used to be Antergos. I kinda convinced it to be Arch after Antergos died so I kept getting updates. Finally I’m currently trying Fedora on my secondary PC filled with old hardware from previous builds.

Honestly, out of these I personally like Fedora most currently. It seems to have up-to-date enough packages and seems quite stable. The AUR on Arch is a powerful thing, but it can also be quite hit or miss. While Ubuntu was fine as a first distro, I don’t really like how outdated all the packages are. I’ve had quite a few cases where packages where more than a year out of date.

sedot , in What distro(s) do you use?

openSUSE Tumbleweed, it just works for me.

Been switching between Arch and Linux Mint for a while now. I run Arch and EndeavourOS on my laptops (Arch on my daily 2-in-1, Endeavour on my TV laptop) but I can’t decide which is better for VR on my main rig… probably because VR on Linux is kinda in a pathetic state anyway lol. Next week I’m getting a second GPU for simple display-out so I can use my 6800XT to run VR in a Windows VM, probably on Arch

Edit: landed on EndeavourOS, basically just Arch with a GUI installer, DE by default, and some other tweaks. It’s what I kept turning Arch into pretty much lol

cosmicmold , in What distro(s) do you use?

I used to use Arch but recently switched to Fedora. I need stability now.
