I regret that I have but a single upvote for you

some of us just weren’t meant for greatness, i guess.

I currently use GNOME and would continue to but if it were a low spec machine, probably icewm or jwm.

y’all sure like KDE though 🤢

maybe the reality is somewhere between them marketing things but also being really passionate about something. good observations.

thanks for this bit of history. I had no idea joe was involved with Jupiter previously but it explains how he and Alex seemed to know each other.

I’m glad that Joe’s podcasts are still going. I find Chris and the Jupiter crew insufferable to listen to. the episodes feel like a mix of ads and cryptobegging between brief overly animated bits of content.

distrobox will give you access to the AUR and should be installable on any distro but the immutable/atomic approach might be worth looking into. I’ve been running bazzite on my personal machine and bluefin on my work machine for about a year now and it’s been great. the only snag is learning the order of operations for installing things without a reboot.

I am just one data point but both distros have been rock solid for me and half the time I don’t even realize updates had been run unless I see a new feature or something like that.

good luck on your journey!

I love Bazzite and Bluefin. I use the former on my personal machines and the latter on my work laptop. I wonder how Bazzite DX will compare to Bluefin? I’m also curious if there’s a difference between Bluefin and Bluefin DX or if they just started tacking on the extra letters recently?

louder for the people in the back.
