Exactly. I’d love to use jellyfin, but it’s just not feasible

I’m really thinking I might go Fedora. I haven’t spun any of these up yet, busy busy.

My new laptop is a framework 13, AMD version. Apparently bluefin, which is Fedora based, is super compatible with all the features of that laptop.

😅

Thanks for the recommendation, and the explanation!

Hmmm yeah that doesn’t sound amazing… Thanks for the heads up

Nice! Glad to hear it! I’ve heard mixed reviews on Manjaro

Thanks for the recommendation!

Thanks for the recommendation! I’m excited to give these distros a try!

Yeah I’ve been using a steam deck since it’s release, Linux gaming is definitely a million times better than days of yore.

Thanks for the Debian recommendation! Not a bad idea.

Thanks for the recommendations! Lots of Fedora in here, I feel bad for never having checked it out.

Another vote for Mint! LMDE was on my radar too, thanks!

I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about Fedora in this thread. Never tried it, definitely gonna spin one up! Thanks!

That’s quite the glowing recommendation for nixOS!

Definitely a learning curve to installation, but I like the idea of config once/cry once, then in the future you’d never have to do it again. I’m just wondering how true that is in practice? Like, I configure it once, but over the course of a few years I install a bunch of stuff. Do I have to keep my config file manually up to date? Or once I’m up and running does this happen automatically?

I’m not opposed to a fair amount of cli legwork to things up and running, if the payoff is as good as you say.

I’m definitely curious about this distro, thanks!

Thanks for the breakdown! Bookmarking this.

In what way is it a pain? Because of the immutability? See that’s what I was worried about, but was assured that ostree could be used somehow? I still haven’t had time to look into it

Arch is in the running, I guess, I just didn’t know what I wanted and had a bad experience with arch. But it’s been explained that while arch CAN be highly customized, it can also be very stable on a pre-customized distro.

Thanks for the input! Manjaro is on the list to try out!

I’ll have to look into this, thanks!

Thanks for the recommendations! I’ve gotten a lot for bazzite, and a few for CachyOS.

I’ll be honest bazzite is looking better and better, but with CachyOS at least I could say I use arch btw lol

Another vote for basic Debian. Thanks!

That’s good to know! I’m definitely sick of Windows instability and constant bloated updates.
