Most of linux fustration come with a lack of drivers and its fragmentation :

• some friend’s printer doesn’t work with my linux.
• I remember having a very hard time understanding optimus (nvidia-intel) and making it work.
• when you use flatpak some thing doesn’t work because it’s sealed.
• when a distro remove a very important package…and i have to find it, reinstall it
• some graphical issue due to the various DE, or an app that haven’t updated its graphical scheme.

So most of time, i follow the forum because things aren’t working as expected. I lose an incredible amount of time doing that but i love it.

Linux as desktop did lot progress and i believe immutable OS with flatpak/snap will solve the fragmentation issue.

Oh thank for the info, i didn’t know…shame. So i should remove them.

Kubuntu et KDE Neon. Debian is Debian and you can install kde. Check the plasma version maybe Debian don’t use the lastest update.

If you want to try the latest kde update : kde neon.

An immutable OS with flatpak, snap or appimage :

Fedora silverblue, nixos, vanilla os, guix, steam deck…

While there is still lot limitation using only flatpak, snap or appimage, i believe that in the next decade they will slowly grow and end up that packaging nightmare.

So we can have an OS up to date, latest app without worrying any breakage. But i’m not well versed and dunno if people and dev will follow that road.

I think it’s time to ditch apt, dnf, rpm, aur. I imagine it would ease dev work but i’m not sure.

You should start with :

• which DE you use ?
• what release model you want ?
• immutable or not ?

Yeah, the current gnome outclass PopOs since they are working on Cosmic, the rust DE.

Their blog talk about cosmic a lot. Imho, it will be released the next month as beta public. Then they will release it next year.

I’m on Linux too and interested on VR headset but i struggle with the vaste amount of informations.

Do you have any good technical article/news about vr headset (lens, tracking, cpu, weight…) to share ? Thank a lot for your help !

I want to avoid meta (facebook) but the cost of the whole vr kit from Valve is astoundly expensive. And i’m also looking for a good hand tracking system.
