maybe not dwl

really bad advice

1. you can make nvidia work just fine, considering most linux users are software developers, you might even be better off for cuda support
2. theming will not break your system
3. dual booting is not an issue when using multiple storage media
4. arch is one of the most widely used distros for good reason. you can make any mainstream distro work. universal blue/nix also is perfectly usable.
5. no, there are more options, sway, niri, i3, river, awesome, dwl, dwm, bspwm, cinnamon, xfce, lxqt are all perfectly usable, window managers are great for a software development workflow and often more stable than DEs
6. if you choose a sensible distro like fedora, arch, opensuse, etc. this doesn’t apply at all, this should only be a consideration for immutable distros

no, it’s not

river

river is great. It’s far more stable than any other wayland compositor I’ve used.

River: https://codeberg.org/river/river

I’d recommend river to anyone looking for an alternative wayland dynamic tiling wm.

Seems like a very bad decision

Not on Sid and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

This is false.

You can’t really choose the release cycle on a per package basis practically:

Pacman also supports optional dependencies.

It’s way faster though.

Maybe mention tiling WMs too. Beginners may not directly be interested but it’s still a very important benefit of Linux.

The package manager does matter, Void and Arch have good package managers, while Debian, Fedora, and OpenSUSE have bad package managers.

Arch is always a perfect option

Arch does not just randomly break and Zypper is unfathomably slow.

it’s two very different things and there are more lemmy users using free software than vegan lemmy users

river or sway
