You’re right. I can’t imagine using windows without scoop or chocolatey.

Opensuse is great. Yast was more useful than I initially thought.

On a different note - For people who like tinkering, nixos can also be a great option, it also allows rollbacks but doesn’t use BTRFS snapshots out of the box like opensuse.

It’s independent.

At first, I also told myself that I didn’t have the time. Then i tried it… felt like there’s a lot to learn, it was similar to when I first started using Arch.

Originally I intended to remove it after trying for a week, but it’s been over 2 months and I have yet to expeience any issue. I’m gonna be staying with this one for a while.

I used tumbleweed for about an year with no problems. The installer was a bit different and not much user friendly but it had a lot of options that i wanted.

I don’t know how it was 5 years ago, but these days I think it’s doing pretty good. I’d consider it over fedora if I need a rolling release distro.

Years ago I started out like this, then gradually started reading and understanding the stuff.

The fresh feeling of a reinstall lasts for about a week.

If you like debian you could try crunchbang++ and Antix.

Or you could install arch or void linux and configure it minimally with xfce or some window manager.

If you want something fresh , checkout nixos. I have had nixos on my desktop for less than a month now and I’m already considering sticking with it for the forseaable future.

I really like crunchbang++ , void and nixos. They are minimal, lightweight and easy to configure.

I used to suggest linux to my friends and family but i stopped doing that as i found none of them actually cared what OS they ran. They also have a misunderstanding that Linux is very complex and difficult to use.
