I don’t miss AUR. Well, I do but opensuse has OBS. Technically OBS is better as packages can be rebuilt automatically when dependencies are updated, but there are a lot more users on the AUR than OBS so AUR has more stuff on it.

OBS packages are less likely to break your system in an update, but the AUR is just flat out bigger.

There hasn’t been anything I’ve needed that I haven’t been able to find either on OBS or as a flatpak. When something isn’t in the disro repos, I look for a flatpak first, then check OBS. Mostly cause flatpaks are easier to search.

Did you miss a required manual intervention on an update? A while ago there was an arch update that needed manual intervention cause of a dependency circle. Might be worth looking up the past year or so of manual intervention newsletter posts for Arch.

Last time I had a dependacy issue I was able to remove the conflicting package, update, then reinstall the package and it worked fine afterwards.

My own system was working great for a long while on an Arch flavour. But a bit ago HDR stopped working properly after an update and I just couldn’t get it running right. Would display very dim.

Eventually gave up on my 2 year old install and went back to Tumbleweed.

I loved all the tinkering on Arch, but I just don’t have it in me to do the tinkering anymore.

Eventually yes, but no estimate on when that will be, I know there has been a statement by the PopOS team that they’re working on it.

Right now if you want HDR you pretty much have to be running KDE for your DE.

Mint with KDE if it doesn’t support it already it will the next major release.

No idea when Gnome HDR support will come.

I’m really looking forward to using their Cosmic DE once HDR support is in.

I’m on Tumbleweed right now. Used to be on Arch flavors, Garuda then Cachy OS.

Tumbleweed is almost as fast for gaming performance, I just don’t have it in me to do all the tinkering anymore. Just want something up to date that works.

Arch was… great and pretty reliable, just got tired of the tinkering.

If I had to give up YouTube I’d move to Nebula. It’s been growing and is steadily getting better.

I got a few dollars from 5/3 bank cause of a class action for exactly this.

I play quite a bit of timberborn, worked just fine. Had some sound issues but changing to proton experimental fixed them.

A former coworker of mine went on a rant about how amazing the novel The Turner Diaries is, white early 20s guy. Scary stuff.

He also once told me and another woman how women shouldn’t be in management positions because it goes to their head…

Yeah, went up to two women and proceeded to rant about how women shouldn’t be allowed in positions of authority, expecting us to agree?

Thanks! Just grabbed it. It is my favorite so far, probably cause I used infinity on Reddit.

The strangest choice I’ve seen for a daily driver is I had a friend who used Knoppix as his daily driver. He started using it on a thumb drive when his computer died, so he just used a thumb drive and random borrowed computers for a while, after getting used to it he transfered the install to his new laptop when he got it.
