  • I like the idea of immutable distros a lot, but I realised they are not for me, at least not now.

    I couldn’t install global themes because the SDDM is immutable. There is a workaround, but it didn’t work 100% for me.

    I couldn’t get Steam to put shortcuts on the desktop (it’s a known thing, simply I didn’t know it). It only worked with Bazzite which comes with Steam preinstalled. But then I couldn’t edit these shortcuts (for example: -silent) because if I did, they would vanish.

    Then I experimented with Waydroid. There was something I wanted to test but couldn’t use the online advice because Bazzite/Aurora doesn’t have dnf for example.

    There were other little things I’m used to tinker on my system and couldn’t so I realised, I wanna stick with other distros for the moment.





  • No not at all, I just said that because I’m often under the impression that many people never search before posting and it sometimes annoys me so I try not to make the same mistake :D. I still miss the old forum days where we had that Bart Simpson meme.

    Thanks for piecing it together, it might be a problem for more users, I’m relieved to read it’s not only happening to me!

    I’m also interested in openSUSE, but what held me back from Tumbleweed was the statement on their Wiki: “If you don’t know how to compile your own additional kernel modules and you don’t wish to learn or keep a very close eye on what is being updated, please don’t use Tumbleweed.” (https://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed)

    But here people say it “just works” and it’s a great distro. I’m torn :), I’d like to try it, but I’m not sure I wanna follow all updates all the time to make sure it runs fine.

    I do that quite often - turn down the difficulty and simply enjoy the story. Sometimes, when a game is very long for example, but I still love the characters and the story, I watch one of those “game movies” of people who made different choices or followed different paths.
