I mean, sure Arch is flexible. All good footguns can mutilate me in a bunch of different ways.

[-] FiskFisk33@startrek.website 1 points 5 days ago

footgun, Arch, how?

[-] menas@lemmy.wtf 4 points 6 days ago

I would have put OpenBSD in "focus on security". Or hell The only prebuild thing their is pain, pain and suffering

[-] ovalofsand@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

BSD isn't linux. Or am I mistaken?

I actually run OpenBSD on one of my ThinkPads, but I was only including Linux distros in this.

[-] NeilBru@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I, uh, use Kubuntu LTS (--minimal-install, so no snap).

Are *buntu flavors risky for my workstation? Should I be considering Fedora?

Why would they be risky? O.o They're the preferred workstation setup at my place because Ubuntu is spread enough that it can be relied upon to be the distro admins have the most experience with (which is a self-perpetuating thing, I am aware).

When you run OpenSUSE, you can feel it was made by Germans.
The installer is a beautiful example of German engineering.
The package manager is a perfect example of German over-engineering.
If you run it with KDE, you have 2 redundant GUI admin tools for every config in the system, and 4 for setting up printers.

Yeah that sounds like a typical BMW engine layout.

[-] Carighan@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Except they seemingly come without the right blinker, but BMW drivers only ever need the left one anyways, and it might as well be stuck in "on".

It's amazing how OpenSUSE got my laptop's valve covers to leak oil.

Ahoi, Genosse! Wie läuft die Germanisierung? Verbreiten Sie erfolgreich das Wort von Linux in Ihrem Heimatland?

Console, Console, Console, Konsole

[-] elvith@feddit.org 47 points 1 week ago

Konsole must be a KDE app, but since KDE is a German project...

What else do you expect from germans? Ich bin stolz auf euch, jungs.

I think I've put fedora on at least 4 personal systems and it has never caused an issue. It's so smooth it's boring in the best way. Switched to it for daily computing about 4 years ago. I use a minipc as a media server with Arch and turning it on it's exciting. Just this fucking morning the default configuration decided that my main audio device was a microphone. Lovely. So flexible.

[-] 30p87@feddit.org 2 points 3 days ago

On the other hand, my server running Arch testing has never had any issues. In fact, the only issue on any of my devices, all Arch testing, was nvidia.

[-] specterspectre@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

This is a YMMV situation. I had Gentoo running on a minipc for a while and it never had any random issues pop up. Any screw up was fully traceable to configuration and entirely my fault. It was kinda funny. Hope your server stays healthy.

I mean, I'm on Debian and I'm on the same install instance I've had for almost four years now. I'm constantly reading about how some of you people keep hosing your other distros with a normal update...
