Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich mal Arch benutze. Aber aktuell läuft mein System unter Arch Linux mit Gnome und es funktioniert alles so wie ich es möchte. Was ich geändert habe ist den Linux-LTS und die Nvidia-LTS Pakete zu nehmen. Dadurch ändert sich dann nicht so häufig etwas am Kernel. Laut KI mache ich das natürlich genau richtig so :-). Die Alternative wäre ansonsten eine Debian Installation. #distrohopper #arch #gnome

All that #fedora #redhat shit can't hurt me. Using #fedora43 atm, but you know, I'm something of a #distrohopper myself. Might be time again to do some hoppin'. Still a bit sad tho, I kinda like the modern #Gnome, the freedom of #Flatpak, everything just working. Any suggestions for good alternative distros?

@dlundh I mean, that I've done. But as an unrepentant #distrohopper who also dabbles in #BSD, running it on bare metal for a while would be soooo cool.

I just need to be more careful about my next laptop purchase…

So, quick question for my fellow #Distrohopper folks…

Can I use #Lix as a drop-in replacement for #Nix at the OS level? I'm sure I'm not phrasing that right. What I mean is, if I take a #NixOS or NixOS based system and use the Switching to Lix instructions found here:

https://lix.systems/add-to-config/

Am I really running Lix without Nix? I'm kinda confused by the whole thing, and I need it explained to me like n00b or whatever. I feel like I have to be missing something in here somewhere.

Any #distrohopper out there have tips or guides? With the release of the #SteamMachine I’m sure to want to install #SteamOS on my desktop but I’ve never distrohopped before

Some time ago, when we were working together @NasaGuy had to time how long it takes to install, setup and update a fresh #Windows 11 installation, plus install basic set of #software for new employee. Remind me, was it like 2 hours? Closer to 3?

I just timed how long it took me from cold boot to have fully set up and usable (including wallpaper) #Linux #Mint installation.

38 minutes.

THIRTY EIGHT MINUTES!

Too all you #distrohopper s out there. How do you manage your PWs, Secrets and home-Directories?
I repeatedly find myself with different machines, different distros and the need/will to set them up quickly. I get stuck with setting up my environemts, and quickly end up either being undersupplied when important information lies somewhere else or oversupplied but then copying whole home-directories.
I don't want to store secrets plaintext in a git-repo, and i guess a central secrets-/pw-mamager on the houseserver will be the way to go.

How do you manage your environment/secrets/private information?
