I only last night heard about #Shelly as I was watching a video talking about #pikaos and comparing it to #CachyOS "and it's new graphical package manager..." Wait what? I use cachyos... So I checked it out. Seems very fast and you can enable #AUR and #flatpak support. I was using a mixture of #octopi / #yay for AUR packages and #kde #discover just for flatpaks. But if this does both as it seem to then that's very much a win for me

Lekte meg litt med Live ISO image ikveld, de forskjellige verktøyene og oppstartsguiden til #PikaOS  er det beste jeg har sett, fra et brukerperspektiv.

At dette er en distro med bare tre-fire utviklere fra England er litt vanskelig å forstå. Kommer garantert til å installere denne på gaming-maskinen min når jeg ser jeg har tid til å bruke noen kvelder på å sette alt opp igjen.

Eneste skepsis er at utviklerne ikke opererer med fullt navn.

Jeg tror kanskje jeg har funnet min neste distro. Denne videoen var en veldig fin gjennomgang av hvordan installere og sette opp best mulig. #pikaos

51 votes is not too bad of a sample size.

I didn’t get to vote because it’s my own poll but I have always preferred Fedora and its derivatives (Workstation, Nobara, Bazzite). I have been thinking about throwing PikaOS (based on Debian Sid) on a machine soon though.

Make sure to check out my other poll about whether you Ubuntu/Debian voters prefer vanilla or derivative of either of these.

In the last weeks/months, I've been using #PikaOS linux distro (both #kde and #cosmic)

Mostly because it has #nvidia drivers pre-installed. But I experienced a few issues and bugs

I think I'm done trying unknown distros

I recently learned that #ZorinOS can also come with nvidia so I think I'll try it

Zorin is well known and developed in #ireland

I wish I could find a good distro with Nvidia made in #canada

But, at least it's not coming from the USA. That's why I don't use Pop_OS anymore

#Pikaos seems to be everything I was looking for

except the official place to go with troubleshooting Q's is a fucking discord.

I don't care if it's the second coming of God's Chosen Operating System, I'm not using it if I can't easily search for problems. Preferably, on a forum that doesn't rely on the existence of another company.

Welp, my #PikaOS mini pc is having a kernel panic and crashing fit after updating….

Off to other pastures thats are greener and just a bit slower…

#OpenSUSE #Slowroll
My #maplelinux (canadian) distro broke this morning. #nvidia wasn't loading anymore.

Honestly, that's something that I expected from the very beginning.

I tried removing it and go back to nouveau, the open source driver. But it wouldn't work.

I got tired of fighting with it, so I installed a new OS instead: #pikaOS

It's a #debian based #linux distro. They have some ISO with nvidia included. Thank God.
