I (struggle to) use arch (in disposable VMs, not my actual machine) btw

    Yeah, my quip is meant in the same vein. Every person is entitled to their own choice in the road to Hell they want to take.

    In a more serious personal opinion, you can get nearly the same undercooked packages from SUSE Tumbleweed, with just with a bit more seasoning and testing. And if freshness matters with even better seasoning and testing Fedora can fill that role. And both take less effort and have less risk.

    I stopped giggling and laughing about the flaming wreckage of my installs a decade ago because I’m just too old and lazy to fix things anymore.

      I think I tried OpenSuse, but I’m not sure how I felt.

      Does it have the easy archinstaller?

      EDIT: They really fucked up the naming convention with Tumbleweed, which makes me think of a deserted place, when it’s actually the more up to date one

        Yeah, I’ve tried Tumbleweed several times and liked it, but the package management and a couple of other things about it just didn’t vibe with me. I do like the name of Tumbleweed. Tumbleweeds never stay still as long as the wind blows. The wanderlust is real.

          They should have just called it wanderlust, and it’s a German reference.

          Although that could refer to distro hopping… 🤔
