@OP, join us in Tumbleweed land. I tried arch btw but it drove me crazy. I don't have endless hours on end to spend on DIY when I am in a hurry to get things to just work™. Tumbleweed with KDE is a refreshing take on the bleeding-edge rolling release distro with sensible defaults and much less teeth gnashing. With arch btw I felt like the whole thing was held together with duct tape and prayers. And I'm certain whatever I did in arch btw, there's an "ackchyually, ..." guy who is going to say that that was wrong.
Sigh... Another day on lemme, another distro to try lol
Tried tumbleweed on my laptop, bog standard install with only defaults, first update with the GUI, completely deleted all grub configurations but gave no errors or warning on the GUI. Happened twice in a row.
Updating for CLI with YaST had no issues. Wanted to love it, but got a bad taste literal minutes after install.
I am fine on Arch, but I just wanted less hassle and ended up with more hassle. Maybe I will try again soon
Yeah this is true. Arch has lots of small and weird package bugs and breakages it drives me crazy and I used to daily drive that shit (well, both arch and artix) for about 2 years. Changed all my machines over to Debian (used it as a server before) and my life quality has gone nowhere but UP!
I'm the same way. I just started using Linux and Landed on Pop!OS. Tumbleweed is high on my short list of things to try, but I finally got everything working, and boy is it working well.
I think the reason is my hardware profile is extremely similar to Pop!OS products, so I just happened to land on something per-optimized for my system out of dumb luck. I'm frankly shocked at how far linux has come. Lutro is what we've been waiting for on game installs for better than 20 years. Steam integration is of course nice, but I hate using game stores and hate being locked into that.
Anyways, been a cool experience so far.
Great stuff, welcome to the Tumbleweed club, we meet at the dumpster behind Wendy's every Tuesday. I tried Pop!_OS for a while and was quite impressed. However I have an irrational disdain for GNOME and Ubuntu so their derivatives are out for me. I hereby declare OpenSUSE and KDE the cool kids club. Tuesdays, dumpster behind Wendy's.
Which Wendy's? Would suck to go to the wrong one and end up sitting there all alone.
The one with dozens of us! Dozens!
You’ll know when you see it.
lol... the KDE crowd seems really devoted, and intent on snagging a new convert. I'll give it a shot I'm sure. But I'm definitely saving an image of this just in case.
i went the way of endeavor os back when grub broke and i'm really happy with it
I never had a better system for KDE than Tumbleweed. Definitely my favourite "hasslefree" distro up until now.
Tumbleweed KDE gang rise up!
I just got Tumbleweed set up on my laptop after trying Fedora for a bit. Funnily enough, the thing that made me check it out is CentOS 7 coming up on end of life and needing to find a new distro to switch to for servers. Obviously, would use Leap on the server side, but the rolling release cadence of Tumbleweed was very appealing (have used Arch in the past, but had trouble keeping up with it...). Still feel like I am only using a fraction of what I can with it, though
Why do I keep getting distro recommendations? I'm content with Arch, despite its problems.
Ackchytually …
