Didn’t know Tomoko used Linux, truly based.

gunpachi ,

I still try interesting distros but the ones I daily drive are usually Arch or Tumbleweed (Void linux came close)

My favourite arch based distro is CachyOS so far, been working really well for me for the past 5 months or so.

Eh, I feel everyone has a main distro, and experimental side distros. Am I wrong?

Hedlosa ,

Me before Opensuse tumbleweed

The perfect distro doesn’t exist, YOU make it then you add it to distrowatch

ManniSturgis ,

Arch is the answer. Arch is the way.

MadBigote ,

We all end up using fedora.

Secret300 ,

Fedora made me stop hopping.

ApathyTree ,

I’m distro hopping because Ubuntu was perfect for me in basically every way, but I don’t want to be locked to a closed distro…

I haven’t found anything I like yet, and I don’t have the skills (or motivation) to make core Debian feel the same.

I’ll probably end up back on Ubuntu, at least for my server machine… it just worked the way I wanted it to, and the ui was lovely for me. Plus it’s stable enough that I can just keep it up indefinitely without issue.

ipkpjersi ,

I use Ubuntu too, because it works and has wide compatibility for everything, any software that supports Linux is generally tested on Ubuntu, etc. I use Ubuntu because if I tried anything else I’d end up becoming a distro hopper lol

AnarchistArtificer ,

You comment gives me vibes of “I don’t do heroin because I know I’d get addicted”. I say this as someone who is currently flirting with distro hopping. I wouldn’t call myself a distro-hopper yet, but I’m certainly en route to that

ipkpjersi ,

Yep, I have my other vices though lol like datahoarding

goldenoreo ,

I haven’t been converted to a Linux person just yet but I love all the watamote around here

99% of distro hoppers quit before finding the perfect distro

the only perfect distro is gentoo

zwerdlds ,

Weird way to spell NixOS but ok

HeyLow ,

I use Arch BTW

zwerdlds ,

That’s cute

HeyLow ,

:3

bear ,

Recent NixOS convert, where has this work of art been all my life

zwerdlds ,

It’s full of stars

bardmoss ,

Distrohopper should listen to Distrohoppers’ Digest podcast… distrohoppersdigest.com or found at any podcatcher

This is why I own 10 guitars 😅

foggy ,

Yeah but you have two daily drivers. Admit it.

Juice88 ,
@Juice88@lemmy.world avatar

3 lol. The schecter E1 FR S is my main baby but I do reach for my S series Ibanez when I still want speed but with the half the weight and my Fender Strat for that classic sound.

KISSmyOSFeddit ,

And why I own 6 bicycles (yes, they’re all necessary).

Juice88 ,
@Juice88@lemmy.world avatar

I’m jealous of that actually! I have a nice Jamis hybrid that I setup for commute but I would really love something built for speed for when I’m taking things serious during the summer. I’m not into trails riding so a second ride would be enough, plus I live in Michigan where it’s winter almost half the year.

foggy ,

Ok let’s guess

Track bike, road bike, mountain bike, fat tire, ebike, and a BMX?

Like damn, do you ever walk?

KISSmyOSFeddit ,

Fixed gear gravel bike, vintage road bike, vintage MTB, touring bike, folding bike and cargo e-bike.

SrTobi ,

Da hilft nix

DavidGarcia ,

oof owie mein witz

WbrJr ,

Doch. Mehr hopping.

sntx ,

Nix kann meinem Distro-Hoppen einhalt gewaehren.

Johanno ,

Nix mehr Zeit muss Doku lesen.

neo ,

unix, unix hilft da

Revanee ,

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

Johanno ,

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

VicentAdultman ,

That’s my goal. When I tried NixOS 3 years ago I didn’t had time and there was a lack of documentation to make a .nix for missing packages. Community was… something not very welcoming. I will try again during college break.

Johanno ,

Well documentation is still not great. But I can deal with it.

The first step is to really understand how nix works and how nix-shell -p works.

Then probably know that autoPatchelfHook exists

And sth. You have to watch out for if you install sth. With a daemon or a service you need to enable it additionally to the installation.

So for example for open-iscsi you need to enable the service.open-iscsi = enable so it can work.

Flakes are still a nogo for me. I don’t understand them and I don’t want to deal with them until I get the rest into my head.

PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S ,

But like…yeah, that’s kinda it IMO. None of the distros come out of the box absolutely perfect for me and my use case, but Debian is close enough, well-documented enough, and flexible enough to be configured into a “perfect distro”. I haven’t really had a reason to distro-hop on any of the systems I installed Debian on.

Shareni ,

MX has entered the chat

KISSmyOSFeddit ,

I keep switching between Debian and Arch cause they’re very different but both close to perfection. I think I’ll stay on Arch for my gaming PC (newer drivers) and Debian on my laptop (just works).

aidan ,

I need newer software versions for my work

PM_ME_VINTAGE_30S ,

Understood, although I have had good luck with either using the Flatpak or installing the .deb distributed by the app developer for packages where the Debian version is too old.
