Do external devices work? Like Xbox controller, printers and stuff like that?

Wtf 😂

Debian stable? You don’t have issues since it has older packages? All of your hardware works just fine?

:(
This sucks. I’m going to look into one of those immutable distros and use distrobox

I’m now debating between mint and kalpa suse. I went KDE and mint doesn’t have it

I’ve thought about nix, but it looks like it has a somewhat steep learning curve, and I honestly don’t even have the time for that :/

Damn. Lol. Ok then, will let that go

And what distro might that be?

I’ve read the whole documentation page. It sounds really good, but still has some issues that I might not like. I’m going to install it in a vm and see. Also, kalpa is still in alpha stage and I’m not a gnome person.

I was actually thinking of that. How’s testing and unstable, are they good, too?

Can plasma work no problem on it? I can’t do any other DE but that one

I want to use mint, but they don’t have plasma. I know I can install it, but I’m not sure about the support and updates and all that.

Thank you. I’ve run Fedora for a long while, too. Albeit, it was a while ago (not sure how good it is now), but I’ve never had any luck with its kde version. It was always broken (for me at least). Also, hunting for apps was kind of a big issue. Then come copr repos. But I guess we have a good case with flatpaks now. Even thought I couldn’t use them before due to storage constraints, but now, that’s not an issue. So, I’ll keep Fedora in mind. I appreciate you

I never wanted a hobby, but rather an operating system.
That’s exactly how I’m starting to feel. I was a “distro-hopper” when I was new to it, but now I just want shit to work. The only thing stopping me from pop is the state of their distro at current time. It feels like it’s been abondened or something. I know they’re busy with cosmic, but that’s what it looks like. Also, I’m a kde plasma only person. I just can’t use anything else.

Is that possible when the OS is based on Arch?

So, they are just “based” on arch?

I understand that, but if you run a rolling release, you know you’re getting updates constantly, and this is what I’m asking about. How is steam keeping up with these updates while “not updating”? Lol

I’d love to know. I’d assume that “split release” would be happening on the steam client itself (when you get an update through the steam settings), because going into desktop mode, you only get flatpaks update (at least as far as I know). You can’t just run sudo pacman -Syu and get your update.

It has always confused me how they’re able to keep updates for too long on a rolling release distro. What kind of magic do they use to achieve that?

Lmao. I mostly play the free games. I also have the heroic launcher and I’m signed into gog, epic and prime on it and so far, they’ve given me 85 free games. I have a lifetime supply of games.
