  • I generally find this to be the easiest option if my system is giving me issues. Void took me a few installs before getting the right combination of packages and services running. It’s definitely my favorite distro so far, considering that it provides stability while remaining on a rolling release cycle.

    As to your controller, look into the xpadneo or xone packages. Both are available on Void. Not certain they’ll work with PlayStation controllers, but I wasn’t able to find any packages dedicated to them.








  • Honestly, carrying around a usb drive is generally a pretty good idea. I carry one with several ISOs so I can rescue a machine if something happens and I am unable to fix it (and also show people what modern Linux has to offer).

    This is something I carry pretty much anywhere I take my computer, and would recommend to most people. Sure, I could leave it at home, but if I have to meet a deadline, I don’t want to spend the extra hour driving to my house. It’s a worst case scenario kind of thing, but it pays off considering how little effort takes.







  • My experience with flatpaks has been mostly good. I tend to opt more towards .deb based apps, with flatpak being a fallback option. With that being said, the Pycharm Pro and Spyder flatpaks don’t run well at all on my system, with Pycharm being too heavy, and Spyder crashing due to Kvantum incompatibility.
