2023 was the year of the Linux desktop.
- Got Discord and Zoom off the store
- Zoom screen and webcam sharing just worked
- Was able to even switch Bluetooth profile through GUI
- Essentially any game that didn't use a kernel level spyware works
- Chromebook hardware in the $500 range is pretty good
- Must software is web based.
I recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed. Install once, update weekly or biweekly. (It's a rolling release, so it doesn't have major upgrades like Windows 10 to 11 does.) About a month ago I did an upgrade on my old laptop. Handled 2 years of updates flawlessly.
I left tumbleweed for alpine and artix because even if you always use
--no-recommendsfor package installation it seems to ship just too much bloat and I left it after it shipped some broken software I didn't need anyway but must've affected system stability too severely, iSCSI iircartix
Wow, are you able to use the new s6 supervisor or service manager yet, or is it too early yet? I saw an initial post once but didn't follow it's development.
Sorry you had problems with Tumbleweed. The forums and subreddit are very supportive, no matter how you installed the distro. It's actually why I moved to Tumbleweed from Arch.
tbh I simply haven't tried it yet. OpenRC works really well for me though I haven't looked into why I would switch to s6 either.
That makes sense. I just assumed everyone used s6 on artix. Now I know better!
