Oh, what are some of the concerns with Manjaro?

Oh definitely for sure. And I objectively see that CachyOS is great. Will try it out eventually haha

Fascinating! Thanks for your thoughts!

I tried out Void for a bit back in the day, but bounced off of it because of the DE, so it felt arcane to me. Very admirable group though, so I respect their work.

Yeah the Nvidia stuff has been a really tough one in the grand scheme of things to manage. I’ve been an AMD person from the start, so it never crosses my mind, (and now I’m constantly looking at the Chinese competitor market for when they overtake AMD and Nvidia).

Niri is really fascinating! I have yet to experiment with it or the other tiling styles, but one of my friends uses Niri and loves it. I think I’m just so used to my normal workflow at this point.

Oh, that makes sense. I don’t have a SteamDeck, but that makes a lot of sense. I wouldn’t want to be tied to steam/valve, but the stability and interface makes a hell of a lot of sense.

I’ve been intrigued by CatchyOS, but it might be the contrarian in me that I side eye it because “that’s the popular OS at the moment” lol

Love seeing more openSUSE in the wild. Pairing it with Debian seems clever as well!

Woohoo! Love KDE Neon as well, and I was torn between KDE Neon and Kubuntu for my desktop, but landed on Kubuntu because I was less concerned about immediate updates to KDE.

Nice! I haven’t messed with Arch based distros much, only used EndeavorOS for a while back in 2021 for awhile.

I really appreciate it for a lot of things and think that the design is elegant.
