Vanilla OS 2.0 looks promising in my opinion. But it’s not out yet unfortunately. It’s an immutable distro that has integrated containers for all the main Linux distros. You can for example install Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch stuff on the same machine.

Does this list include rolling release distros like Arch? Because I can see no mention of it
If you want to play games then check out Nobara. It’s based on Fedora and made by the guy that created GE Proton
What’s up with all the negativity around flatpaks? I use Arch (btw) and I try to install as much as I can using flatpak. I think they are great. They are compatible, usually up to date, easy to install, easy to remove and it won’t break your system. The sandbox can be edited to include more paths etc.
I would like to recommend Yabsnap as an alternative to Snapper. It’s made for Arch, tested on Fedora and might work on other distros. But it needs more eyes and testers!
Edit: thank you for the list! It’s very nice to see what is available for btrfs
I have heard that Nobara Linux is great for gaming but I can not confirm since I use Arch btw
Edit: sorry for the double post. My lemmy app threw me an error now I can not delete my second comment
Start menu looks like Win10/11 with ads, suggestions and news. This is not how XP used looked like
If Linux is to go mainstream I feel like KDE needs to be the default Desktop experience on distros. The Windows-like style is what the majority of people recognize and are familiar with and the KDE developers seems to care a lot about their userbase.
New users already has a lot to deal with and learn when it comes it Linux. They don’t need their desktop environment to work against them too.
This is why I refuse to buy a “smart” TV. My old flat screen TV works perfectly fine with a Chromecast with Google TV. I can even use the Chromecast in my projector or any other device with HDMI input to make it smarter than most TV interfaces I have tried.
Last time I signed up (a few years ago) you could just enter whatever email you wanted and never bother to verify it. It’s only a problem if you forget your password
But not too frequently. Updating too often on Arch will increase your chances of something breaking. Updating once a week or twice a week gives the developers some time to fix bugs and make changes to other packages as needed
You can make a separate home folder for the distrobox container if case you don’t want to get your main home folder dirty
I have the same problem on my desktop with both KDE Plasma 5 and Plasma 6 using the Zen kernel and Nvidia GPU. It happens randomly, every 10-20 shutdowns maybe, that my computer hangs on Target reached: System Power Off
I turn off my computer using the button in KDE start menu, which opens the shutdown menu. In there I press the Shutdown icon to turn off my computer.
I still haven’t figured out the issue.
English is not my native language and I am still pretty new to Linux. But it doesn’t change the fact that Arch was not compromised and Debian is/was
Thanks for clarifying. I read through the original announcement but I couldn’t fully understand it
According to this guy Debian is the problem https://lemmy.ml/comment/9780209
The wierd app drawer was still a thing and a few other things I really didn’t like. Canonical was giving away copies to try at Dreamhack Summer. I remember it very well
The Plasma desktop is well supported and is pretty close to a Windows experience.
I hate Gnome with passion because it’s nothing like Windows. I tested Ubuntu 2009 and the Gnome DE is what made me not like Linux. I did not know at the time that KDE Plasma also existed
Yeah kinda. A container has a lot better performance than a virtual machine and can interact with your system
