I was using it for over a year, and it was very stable. My only issue was that the opi method to install aur like packages was not as good as using aur itself, so I have recently moved back to arch.
I wish Arch could be installed everywhere. My Desktop PC, Laptop and Raspberry PI 4 use Arch Linux while my Server used to run Rocky Linux but is abandoned and my Chromebook Duet 3 uses Debian 12 with KDE. I think I could easily install Arch on it after having my Kernel compiled and working with debian.
Devuan for consistant stability and change to testing branch and you'll never have to install new releases, it will do in-place upgrades while testing branch still being consistantly stable.
Fedora is stable enough (never have any crash with Fedora for 5 years, as long as I remember on Thinkpad), and it’s bleeding edge, most of software that’s just published, will be available in most fedora repo less than 1 day, as I remember. If it’s not rolling release, then what is it? Or the term of rolling release is different?
Fedora has quick updates, but big changes like gcc or gnome version upgrades, default desktop layout and included software, changes to the package manager, etc. all happen on numbered version releases. They’re on Fedora 38 now. Rolling release distros don’t have numbered releases, they just make changes whenever they’re ready and the “releases” are usually more or less arbitrary snapshots. If you go to the Arch download page, you’d see that the current release is just the date the snapshot was made.
If you don’t find the application you’re looking for maybe you can write a bash script that runs on a Cron job. It’s possible if you’re just talking about file/folder names
I’m currently on OpenSuse. Would it be good to change distros?
Which distro would be good(stable n decently updated) for a laptop with an nvidia gpu? One which has no display or battery drain issues?
Could anyone recommend distro’s that would be good for me?
Thanks in advance.
As long as you are able to install it on your PC, I think that every distro can be used. Also a rolling relase distro like Archlinux (I use it on my laptop which has also win10 installed)
I tried the Manjaro Sway image and liked it a lot. Felt much nicer than i3. But… there is no alternative to Barrier that works with Wayland and that forced me to go back to i3 and X. And please don’t bother to list all Wayland alternatives for Barrier, because I tried them all and none is comparable.
Wireshark also lets you do that directly from the UI and can do that with just tcpdump on the remote host. That can be useful if you’re trying to analyze traffic on a router or something that doesn’t have tshark available, like OpenWRT.
