Exactly! EndeavourOS, my first Arch distro. It’s nice and easy to use, although Arch package updates are very different from say Debian. They don’t differentiate between security fixes and typo fixes so you’re either updating all the time like me or updating less frequently and being vulnerable. And then there’s also the issue of rarely broken bleeding edge packages; I had to pin a bunch to prevent upgrading from KDE 5 to 6 for a while.

Snap getting installed, ads when starting a shell. Basically the reasons I ditched Kubuntu.

Never tried it outside of the USA, couldn’t tell ya.

Never heard of this. Sounds useful, except I’m really only buying something from them because I need it quickly most of the time. I don’t have the convenience of waiting for price drops like I do with Steam games haha. Thanks for sharing!

Fakespot was kinda nice, whenever I looked at something on amazon I’d get a sidebar showing which reviews are real and summarizing them. It’s actually pretty useful. Definitely will not miss Pocket.

It’s not dead until I stop getting 10 year old outdated answers in my searches!

I use FreeFileSync and it syncs whatever files I point at it, not just videos and music. I installed it from the Play store.

fdupes to find duplicate files, freefilesync to back it up.

Arch Linux Security Advisories

I’ve never had issues like that on Kubuntu, Debian, or EndeavourOS. KDE is great and I love it.

I use Debian on machines I don’t want to fuck with or have change much.

I use Endeavour because it was recommended to me for the bleeding edge hardware I had just bought for gaming.

I decided to ditch Helix and stick with vim, my main code editor is Kate anyway lol.

Damn now you got me trying to get used to it. It’s hard when vim is so ingrained in my habits. And Helix isn’t in the Debian stable repos yet. It does seem faster and better though!

I play Starcraft 2 through Proton, it works pretty well. These days pretty much all distros are perfectly fine for gaming, maybe with the exception of Debian stable. If you’re new, I’d recommend staying away from Arch and derivatives like Manjaro. Also try to keep things simple for yourself and avoid flatpaks, snaps, and appimages.

I saw this problem for the first time yesterday. Run dmesg to look for errors from the kernel, for me I had amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error - collecting diagnostic data. I took this to mean that my system couldn’t communicate with the monitor to change brightness anymore. When my system is idle, it first dims the monitor before turning it off, so when I wake it back up it’s stuck on low brightness like this. Simply turning my monitor off and back on seemed to fix it.

Yes, most people aren’t aware of it as they’ve seen inside Program Files and assumed that was all the program’s data.

Bro you’re messing with wine prefixes? You already know more than most and clearly have the motivation and ability to do what you want. You’ll go far, just google what you need when you need it like the rest of us :)

It’s the price of bleeding edge :) Hope you find what you’re looking for in Nobara, my dude.

I’ve had the same issues with Endeavour, sometimes you get buggy software and need to roll back. I do a full system backup once a week and update once or twice a day (I like updating frequently as it makes it obvious which package broke your system). When I get a bad package I just restore from backup but exclude /home. Then from there I install packages one at a time until I find that bad one and then just ignore it for a while. It really hasn’t been too bad. I don’t think you’ll find anything like the AUR if you start distrohopping. Debian is the king of set it and forget it, but it might be a shock to go back older packages of everything.
