  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.

  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    I know that it's rolling release, but 4 times this year seems a bit much (lemmy.world)

    Can I talk to you about our Lord and Savior Tumbleweed?

    [–] bali10050@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

    Last time I tried it, the more custom stuff I put on it(custom color scheme, window decorations etc.) the more it fell apart

    [–] carzian@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Admittedly, I haven't done too much of that, but it might still be more stable than needing to reinstall your OS every 2-3 weeks?

    I've done exactly too much of this stuff, and now I can't stop. Dont let r/unixporn consume you!

    How did you manage to break it with themes lol

    [–] JoMomma@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

    Funny because just like those door to door bible sales, Tumbleweed promises magic and salvation, but completely crumbles under any stress or expansion

    Not my experience at all. It's the one distro that stopped my distro hopping.

    Besides, something goes fucky or (more likely in my case) I fuck something up, I can just roll back the changes with a single command and reboot. It's awesome. I've also used to just test things out, removed all KDE stuff, installed GNOME, tested it out for a while and then did a snapper rollback. The system was just like I hadn't changed anything. It's really cool, more distros need this feature.

    Wild, every time I've tried using it on both metal and as a VM it has self destructed rather quickly. The last few times, just doing an update after the initial install broke the system for various reasons... but everyone has different hardware and software mixes I suppose

    Just got a new laptop and put an arch flavor on it, keep thinking of going back to Tumbleweed. I've kept on Arch derivatives cause of the AUR, but I haven't actually touched the AUR in a while, and a couple of the things I used the AUR for are now being published as flatpaks by the creators because of the Steam Deck.

    Give it a shot, you can always go back
