IceFinally made the move
spittingimageFollowing the ancient traditions, I’m here to tell you that you picked the wrong distro. 😉
But welcome aboard.
Oh undoubtedly!
Hopefully my partitioning was decent though, so distro-hopping shouldn’t be too hard if I feel like switching (or even running different distros side-by-side?)
I was personally drawn to it because: it’s not Ubuntu; ButterFS seems like a nice safety net; KDE Plasma is sexy AF; noone seems to have anything particularly horrible to say about it.
Why is your chosen distro (obviously) is the superior choice?
Mint for gaming, because it’s nice to have a rock-solid OS that doesn’t need much beyond updates in terms of maintenance. Arch for hobby tinkering, because voiding warranties is fun.
Consider Bazzite for gaming?
I’m sure it’s great but I’ve had no issue on Mint.
Mint was 2nd in line on the choice list, so not far off!
I’ve been running opensuse for years now. It’s great. Welcome aboard
Btrfs does not stand for butterFS lmao
But b-tree file system sounds way less fun!
It’s already cemented itself as butterfly system in my mind lol
dan“ButterFS” is one of the accepted pronunciations though.
Fedora. Because it’s the best supported distro on Apple hardware :P (running asahi here)
Yeah, those are the same reasons I chose tumbleweed. Plus the rolling release.
I hope you made your system partition large enough. I had about 20G for / (excluding /home), which used to be enough for kubuntu, but quickly ran out of space on tumbleweed. I assume because of the Btrfs snapshots.
I reinstalled tumbleweed on a larger partition. Then couldn’t install the proprietary codecs, because of an error I couldn’t resolve.
Installed it a third time recently, now it runs smoothly.
It suggested 200GiBs for root, which seemed a bit excessive but I didn’t argue
With most PC things (RAM, disk space, CPU, etc etc), too much is better than too little, provided you have the resources.
If you intent to run virtual machines with virt-manager (especially if you keep the default path), that 200 Gb will seems short a bit :-)
OpenSUSE runs btrfs by default. Root partition siis not important.
The partition running full did prevent me from updating the system. That surely can be somehow fixed. But with time and skill being limited resources in my life, it doesn’t mean that it is unimportant.
