Pondering #Linux distros...

  • Arch-based
    • You're either doing the full Arch experience (good for you), or doing something Arch-based that's going to be unpredictably unstable and leave you with a non-booting system at some point in the future, and not having the technical understanding to fix it. Been burned by that already (twice!), hard pass.
  • Directly #Debian-based
    • I love Debian. I've loved it ever since a kind person at a Linux LUG burned me a copy of the Debian Potato 2.2 CD-ROMs in 2000. But an every-two-year release schedule is kind of hard to deal with given our current break-neck seat-of-your-pants development practices. Lots of compilers don't even want to work in Debian after midpoint or so in the release (1 year old), requiring things like rustup to be able to compile many tools.
  • Ubuntu-based
    • I'm going to skip over all of the meme-based criticisms of Ubuntu, and even the more technical criticisms of snap, which isn't that hard to eliminate. Simply put, from the things I've read, canonical sounds like a cult of personality, and gives me a bit of the heebie-jeebies. Other than that, ubuntu-based distros have the great benefit of actually decent user-focus and community support.
  • Fedora-based
    • #Fedora is adored by a lot of Linux enthusiasts, and has the benefit of a fairly large user-base, as well as being in the sweet-spot of having biannual updates. The only negative is the big lumbering evil shadow of IBM. I honestly don't know exactly what the relationship between Fedora and IBM (RedHat) is, but I'm fairly certain [it can't be said that there is none].

Umm... what exactly is left? Anything user-friendly? Well, perhaps...

  • OpenSuSE-based. (Yes, I'm using the old capitalization, because I'm crochety like that ;)
    • OpenSUSE Leap seems to have a release every year, which is pretty cool, but the new #OpenSUSE #SlowRoll seems like a really nice solution!
    • SUSE gives off a lot of "RedHat before they turned super evil" vibes, and I'm down with that
    • OpenSuSE also packages a lot of software for other distros. The debian package I'm using for #GPXSee, for example, is provided by https://packages.opensuse.org — that's super cool!

I've daily-driven #OpenSuSE #Tumbleweed in the past. A coupe times, actually.

No real major complaints. Some issues were that the YaST-based installer was kind of obtuse (e.g., very easy to miss the option to set the hostname). I'm not one to hate on YaST. I don't need my configuration tool / systems-management tool to be all pretty or written in Flutter or whatever. But the installer was kind of obtuse, if featureful.

My biggest complaint is that they don't set up #PolKit out of the box, and you're expected to use the root password for things like setting up printers in the GUI. Not to be too snippy, but that was unacceptable in 2005, and it's crazy wrong-headed in 2025. But I know there's a way to set that up, so I need to look into it.

I'm very interested in OpenSuSE #SlowRoll. If that comes out in the next few months, that could be an awesome contender.

So, yeah, actually, thanks for reminding me to look into OpenSuSE some more. :neocat_floof_happy:
