The best way to learn Linux for ne was to make comparison table to all the distros and to look for what I want to make decision. Whenever I got questions, I asked ChatGPT. Then, the biggest step, was just using it. As my Daily Driver. I tried dual booting / a second “tinkering laptop” and it did just not work for me.

Now I am happy and keep learning all the small details.

Feels like when I was young and got my first PC.

This sounds great.

Does it have to be a VM? Is Steam or Lutris not an option?

It’s not about switching, it’s about hosting our services on different platforms at the same time.

It’s perfectly fine for some private page etc. but when you make business software for customers that require 99,9% uptime with severe contractual penalties it’s probably too wonky.

We got our own platform based on kubernetes and cncf stuff and we don’t have to care anymore about the metal underneath. AWS? OTC? Azure? Thats just a target parameter, platform does the rest. It’s great.

All of it.

Because the number one question on literally any Linux related tech question is: “What are your specs?” And a neofetch covers big parts of that.

People do this all the time.

I was not satisfied with Plasma because I would have different window styles etc. With Plasma 6 I removed all themes and all the shit and customized it with builtin features only. It looks so nice and clean and just works like a charm.

When you handle all your errs the same way, I’d say you’re doing something wrong. You can build some pretty strong err trace wrapping errs. I also think it’s more readable than the average try catch block.

You’re absolute right with the random repos. Yet, when I started a year ago, I was pretty new to the whole linux thing and allowed myself some experimenting.

Wow, thats really elaborate. Thanks so much!

Yeah I’m really happy about some really good answers to my problem. This is my first non-experimental long used Linux system and when I started a year ago, I was experimenting with some stuff and added some repos that were recommended in some videos and blogs. And now I feel the pain of not keeping the count low :D Learning through pain is a real thing here.

Oh I didn’t know about the priority system. That might help. I guess I’ll try to figure out, if I need the wolfi repo in the first place and remove it if possible and in addition add OpenSUSE as a vendor of higher prio to avoid similar issues in the future.

I don’t know why the repo was added anymore. I’ll try a flag that was suggested in another response, or otherwise will try to remove the repo so it does not bother me anymore.

Tbh, I don’t know if I needed it and added it myself, or if it was an oob Repo. I’ll try to use the flag though. Thanks!

You’re right. Giving 30% for really fucking good platform services is way worse than having to find a publisher that takes in 70 to 90% of revenue and pushes devs to release unfinished games.

I’m not on Plasma 6 yet. I’m undecided whether I should do the switch as it defaulta to wayland, but Wayland seems to be not the best choice right now.

Hm, that’s sad. But I’d rather have it not just vanish, though. Is there a good replacement?
