Then I stand corrected. Thanks!
Different people, different Experience and Feel. I like both. the stable time with mx-linux based on debian. And now the top notch stuff time with EOS Arch, where I am inmid of a time where with Wayland, Freedesktop, KDE, Nvidia, Oracle Virtual Box ect. almost everyting ist in constant motion. Thrilling agains this secure feelint with debian oder debian-based OSess.
I believed “stable” in Debian parlance means that the versions do not change within a stable release, so that there is a guarantee that the API’s remain stable and software that works upon a stable release will continue to work through the entire lifecycle of that stable release.
Gave it all up. . . dumped Debian. . . . reinstalled EndeavourOS . Some times common sense is your best friend.
Rich;)
I think this is a healthy ritual we should all do from time to time.
Some events in the recent past have made me think. I’m not using Arch based distros right now, but I have not settled yet. It is not the main reason that something happened, but the way it was handled by the arch project. As far as I am concerned, you are now welcome to get out your sayings about self-responsibility, that will not change my preliminary decision and my way of thinking and everyone is free to disagree.
Even though I really 
this community and the EOS project.
That is why Linux is “Freedom of Choice”.
I think you get to a point in your life (and knowledge/capability), where it’s all just “Linux” - regardless of distro. I’ve eventually settled on base Arch, no AUR exposure, limited config, and it’s enough. It gets out of the way and doesn’t argue over my decisions. Whatever you settle on, use the tool that works for you, there’s a chance politics and executive decisions will always muddy the waters, regardless, find what works for you.
Well, it’s your decision, and that has to be accepted. However, I can relate to you and have had similar thoughts, but right now I want to see and experience how limitations and remaining bugs resolve themselves for me as Wayland, Plasma, NVIDIA, and Flatpak continue to work together more seamlessly, and how that process unfolds.
But I’m toying with the idea of using KDE Linux as a second system, if necessary, as soon as it’s ready, because I’m fascinated by what they’re planning there.
I don’t care what distro you use. You do not need to use EndeavourOS to be a part of this community.
I am interested in KDE linux or will be at some point. Could it eventually kill KDE Fedora?
I don’t know if it will also become the new Windows/Ubuntu though, totally opinionated with no checks and balances. I know Plasma is very customizable but I don’t know about KDE Linux.
In my opinion, it will definitely make a huge impression, because it’s designed to be atomic and immutable—and while it’s similar to Apple in practice, the OS here is open source and is actually KDE Plasma—and I find the “Kapsule” container system truly fascinating.
The video below recently gave me another great look at KDE Linux.
That was interesting, I’d def give it a go on a spare machine. Maybe Akonadi will actually finally work…
Don’t fancy using Discover though. Already talking myself out of it. Back to EOS… end up I will!
Will it take away efforts to keep Plasma working on other distros?
Some information on it if you’d like to have a look
“with the last 5 OS images cached on disk.” and I’ve only just started using btrfs snapshots this week.
No, I don’t think so. Alongside GNOME, KDE Plasma is a very well-known desktop environment for Linux distributions, since most of them offer a Plasma version, even if it isn’t the distribution’s flagship. And I’ve also uninstalled Discover here, since it installed things without notifying me. So, in my opinion, it’s better to use Flatpak if there’s nothing comparable available natively here—especially if you’re using it here or in KDE Linux anyway as your software source of choice via the command line, so you can see what’s being installed when you install a Flatpak.
And btw. Cool, you use Btrfs with snapper, I assume, to get the snapshots in grub, right?
Hope you’re right. I’d hate it to become exclusive to their own distro. I do really like Plasma.
No I’m using time-shift as that is what I was already using previously with rsync.
I just don’t believe that KDE, of all places, would start acting in a proprietary way, because they’ve been flying the open-source flag for so long.
So, if you use Timeshift, you still have the snapshots available in GRUB for direct selection—in case, for example, a kernel update fails or you can’t boot into the GUI for some other reason—or do you just appreciate the fact that the snapshots can be created much faster and are much smaller? And what exactly do you back up with Timeshift, if I may ask? You cold snapshot /home and / 
Tbh I use it purely because I don’t like it when uninstalled apps leave a lot of crud behind.
E.g. I’ve been having a lot of issues with libvirt networking and found I’d made a right mess of things and ended up reinstalling. Now I have a base image I can revert to rather than reinstalling.
I don’t like the fact it has to be on the same drive but I am a total n00b and don’t really know what I’m doing a lot of the time. I use systemd boot btw.
Yes the speed is ace, I don’t care so much about the size.
You have the snapshots on the same drive? Hm. That’s not so good. Imagine the drive with the snapshots on is not available. So, if you use Timeshift, you still have the snapshots available in GRUB for direct selection—in case, for example, a kernel update fails or you can’t boot into the GUI for some other reason—or do you just appreciate the fact that the snapshots can be created much faster?
