SuperDicq@minidisc.tokyo@lucy Rebooting is fine, just don’t ever update. I love Debian, can you tell?

adiz@mtl.jinxian.casa@arcana I always found openSUSE really reliable. Especially considering the BTRFS Snapper support configured out of the box. Tumbleweed, indeed being "leading edge", did break on me a couple times on update, but it was a simple matter of rolling back to a previous state and waiting for non-breaking package updates to get released a couple days later. @lucy @meeper

@meeper Never tried NixOS. I understand it's a very different approach to Linux and you basically have to build the system off configuration files in the Nix Language or whatever. The people I know who run it say it has a steep learning curve but that that thereafter their experience is wonderful. I've no real desire to involve myself with it; I think my time and energy is better spent focused towards something more productive. You could ask @mischievoustomato about NixOS, he uses it and is quite knowledgeable.
I used to run openSUSE Tumbleweed for the longest time and it was always very reliable. But, I've always had an affinity for Debian and since going 100% all-in with Debian on both my desktop and servers I'm very happy with it. It's a traditional, clean Linux experience that is very straightforward and coherent without breakage or always having to troubleshoot and fix things. @arcana @lucy

It must have been the new proprietary software that was installed to deprive the user of their freedom to log in. I have updated Gentoo-libre countless times, and the only thing that has happened is that freedom has improved as expected.

mischievoustomato@tsundere.loveNixOS is a great OS for me and the only linux I can use comfortably, but learning it has a very steep curve but it's as powerful as it is hard to learn. I have a lot of configuration set up, from nixOS' own knobs, overlays (package modifications, adding or modifying), my own module (configuration setting). I can even configure gnome using nixOS, i set up extensions, gtk3 theme, and configure both extensions and gnome using the dconf module home-manager has. It's majestic.

@mischievoustomato Meanwhile I just run standard Debian with binary packages and stock GNOME + a few GNOME extensions. I'm a simple boomer man. @arcana @lucy @meeper

RedTechEngineer
RedTechEngineer@fedi.lowpassfilter.linkthis is why most people should be using an immutable/atomic distribution.
this is completely safe to do on
Endless (debian based)
Fedora Atomic (based)
NixOS (gay version of Guix) (hi @mischievoustomato )
GuixSD (GNU)
Bazzite (gaymen based)

and despite supporting way less hardware, their packages are also more out of date AND they carry less packages (when excluding non-free software)
