Should I switch from #archLinux to #gentooLinux now, or wait until we definitively know what's going on with #systemd and #ageVerification before making that decision?

Maybe even a #linuxFromScratch base system running #flatpaks out the wazzoo?

Still loving #bazzite as nearly six months comes around as a full time #linux user. After a few initial teething problems (mostly file system weirdness) it has been an almost flawless experience. Every game I have thrown at it has worked with only an old one even needing a proton version change and the mantra of going for #flatpaks and keeping the command line out of the way is definitely the way Linux should go to get more people to switch over. Props to #KDE for a fantastic desktop also. :-)

@chpietsch Ich weiß, ich auch! xD hahaha. Sprich für Nicht-Debian-Systeme: Die Sache ist die, die #Flatpaks werden leider nicht von Signal, sprich der Whisper Foundation, maintained. Btw funktioniert es auch unter Tails 7.2, macht sogar Updates.

✨ 💫 #Signal + #Tails == Win für Privacy und Security. ❤️ 💚 🙏

@rl_dane
- In my tower's #ArchLinux #KDEPlasma #Wayland boot, both #AnyDesk & #RustDesk work well for my r/a to dad's windoze pc.
- in my tower's newest [3rd] boot, #Fedora #Kinoite #Wayland, i simply could not get either of those to work properly, regardless of as #Flatpaks, via #Distrobox, or even layered atop the base system. However, happily, RD also comes as an #AppImage, which does work !!

note the above pertain to connections to dad's windoze pc only. otoh, my lappy also runs a Wayland DE, & it is impossible to connect to, afaict -- nothing i have tried works, coz Wayland on the remote pc seems to be an unsolved problem of r/a apps.

@jwcph @itsfoss You can use Warehouse by @Heliguy (thanks) to create snapshots and restore them on the other device - no terminal required! I used this to restore my #flatpaks with their data on a #Librem5 Linux phone after reflashing #postmarketOS.

In my Lappy's atomic immutable, Fedora Kinoite, in prior months when i was setting it up, ALL attempts to be able to connect to Dad's pc with either AnyDesk or RustDesk, via either Flatpaks & overlaid rpm pkgs, failed. Hence, now in Tower's KDELinux i've not even bothered with those two flatpaks, not to mention that this atomic does not have a(n easy) way to overlay. Happily i found recently that AppImage works well for VeraCrypt in KDELinux, so i wondered if any of AnyDesk, RustDesk, or NoMachine might have an AI option... & yes, RD does! Aaaaaaand... it works - both for remote-access desktop control, & for file-transfer - yippee!

So, now that i have found effective workarounds for the last lingering papercuts in KDELinux, which hitherto stopped this otherwise lovely OS being able to be my fulltime daily system [remote-access ✅, VeraCrypt ✅, backups ✅, virtual machines ✅], i tentatively now conclude that henceforth i'll only boot back into either Arch or Sparky when i want to, rather than til now each time i needed to [for the preceding issues] 🎉 🥳 👯‍♀️

The ongoing failure of the ArchLinux Distrobox in my KDELinux [but no other DB] remains galling [not least that coz it does not work i had to find other ways to solve those tricky app issues], but now it is no longer significantly holding me back.
