I use Fedora 38, it’s stable, things just work, and the software is up-to-date.

    OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I like it for being a rolling release with quality control. On the one hand I don’t like its restrictive defaults but on the other hand I know enough to work with them and that’s given me a leaner system.

      Ever tried paru? Did the jump a while ago and it is slightly better, the best kind of better.

        I’ve been messing with paru to gauge its functionality against yay.

        So far I’m unimpressed. The cli display is somewhat tidier/neat. I like that. But when it comes to actually installing something, it’s less than stellar.

        For instance, if I want to skip any confirmation, I can use the undocumented flag --noconfirm. But that only works if I’m passing the flag to install, -S. If, say, I’m searching for a package, simply typing paru <package>, then the interactive menu no longer works. It simply exits with the message ‘nothing to do’.

        yay, on the other hand, works flawlessly with the --noconfirm flag.

        I noticed that paru has some upgrading/updating features that are nice. I might use it once in a while to upgrade/update the system. But that’s pretty much it for now.

        Thanks for reminding me of paru! I’ve checked and I have it installed already. But I confess that I’m so used to yay that I completely forgot about paru.

        Do you have any paru tutorial you recommend?

    Arch Linux because it has sane defaults, is rolling, up to date, helpful community, awesome wiki and is minimalistic.

    Relatively fast updates, AUR, PKGBUILD, Downgrade, the Wiki, the community, not controlled by some corporate entity, no telemetry, and last but not least the logo ;)

      How different (if at all) does Nixos feel as a daily driver, if at all? Is it only about getting used to the system, or does it require to do everything the Nixos way?

      Also how does user-level configuration work? Does the upgrade system just ignore your $HOME in terms of version control?
