I’m going back to Debian! I have been testing Arch and EndeavourOS for a couple of weeks. It’s rolling too fast for me. It breaks too often. I can not fully trust it unfortunately! I do not want to update and then have to fix something. I’m talking about apps that stop working. Not the operating sys…

[image] dalto: I have never had to roll back to previous snapshot. When it comes to updates, me neither. I rolled back to previous snapshots a few times and it was always when I messed something up. An update never caused a major breakage for me. The worst I did regarding updates was attempt…

The one who leaves, don't stop him. To the one who comes, open the door. Good luck !

Too far behind as in kernels. I used to use Mint and i was always had the same kernel versions as Arch. I want to be current because i use the most current hardware.

Eh, it’s only 1 version behind if you use backports. Current 5.8, Debian 5.7 (I use backports on all my Debian installs except my chromebook because 5.0+ kernels break the audio and I can’t figure out how to fix (that’s not just Debian, no OS have I gotten a 5.0+ kernel to work with audio on it)). …

Yes, newer hardware would be a big incentive to use a distro with more up-to-date kernels. I tend to buy older machines, or new ones with last-generation CPUs, so that’s never been an issue for me. But, on Debian, one can backport a newer kernel, or of course compile their own if they have the des…

I don’t want to compile anything. I just want rolling! Open Suse Tumbleweed has more updates than this. On my tv computer i update it when i feel like it and sometimes it has a lot of updates but it doesn’t take very long. I just keep rolling. :enos_flag:

Each to their own, good luck. I’ve just had the opposite experience, after a couple of months playing around with Debian as a secondary system I’ve removed it, probably for good as a desktop system. Arch systems have been always been rock solid for me, disk failures aside I’ve never had to restore…

I actually use cmus! Fast and stable! But sometimes I want something more graphic to look at.

I wonder what is breaking. I’ve been using Arch for quite a few months and I’m constantly hopping around the tiling window managers. I haven’t had Arch break on me once.

EndeavourOS

I love Arch and EndeavourOS, but

I too have found it all a bit too fast

Current, Daily, Weekly, Deferred mirror setup Community contributions

OK, I’ve set up https://repo.m2x.dev/ : repo.m2x.dev There are five update strands: current - Synchronised hourly with Arch stable; an Arch mirror. daily - Updated once per day. daily-deferred - Updated once per day, yesterday’s state. weekly - Updated every Tuesday. weekly-deferred - Updated every Tuesday, last week’s state. Use this as your /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist , replacing $strand with one of the values above: Server = https://repo.m2x.dev/$strand/$repo/$arch Note: things will …
