I am not a distro hopper, but I think you’re asking the wrong question

I would keep your saves backed up and synchronized with a tool like rsync or git (not too great if they are larger sized files). It’s what most Linux users do with their config files for example.

Other solutions are having a separate partition for /home (or /Games) so that you can even distrohop without worrying about this. If the game looks for saves in a specific folder you can create a symlink (a sort of “shortcut” that tells the game to look for saves in a certain directory)

Not sure how experienced you are but I can try to explain it better if this seems suitable.

I recommended bazzite to a newcomer. It went as poorly as you’d expect due to immutability being largely nonsense unless it’s handled like NixOS.

BSDs are great, the hardware compatibility issues are greatly exaggerated.

Open/Fluxbox were so good

Will check out secureblue for sure. I rather enjoy Qubes concepts as well, although never daily drove it.

I will write “that are valuable to the discussion” next time. Of course I value stability, the Amazon fiasco was 5 years ago. I just wanted an open ended discussion.

Plenty of good answers already :)

It helps to read the post body text.

I have Gentoo on a server (well, a ARM SBC). I enjoy it, especially since they added binary packages as needed.

How is it for day to day to use?

I realized after posting it was actually longer than I thought, too. Debian is great, some installs I even run Sid without issues, but I am pretty diligent about update notices.

I have had a look at CachyOS kernel patches before, I don’t game but seems like they have a good team.

You need to have a look at the logs using journalctl.

Type journalctl —help, have a look at the options (I think —since may be what you want) and post the logs if you want to.

I might actually have to instance block lemmy.world if it’s too bad since it attracts the worst kinds of new users due to open registration.

It wasn’t just the .gitignore to be honest, just a set of “rules” I have on a script I use to analyze repos (I may publish it eventually, although it would quickly become worthless plus it’s used at work to vet dependencies) and then just manual review of commits.

I have heard this with NFTs, before that with crypto (and a dozen other more specific technologies before). It’s a terrible attitude.

No one has to accept shit even if it’s entrenched (see my other comment).

You probably couldn’t boycott everything made with LLMs even if you went back to slackware. Firefox devs use it too (and for the love of god, no one attack the dev for it).

I don’t like it, consider it a liability, mentioned it to those who might care. I do appreciate your post nonetheless, not my cup of tea as an environment but I still liked the post.

I hate to be that guy but dev is vibe coding it. Check the .gitignore

Does no one read man pages anymore? This is not a personal attack but I am baffled people don’t set up bash completion correctly and then can’t “discover flags” (or just read the manual).

I would not want tar that automatically “does what it thinks I want” useful… am l out of touch or the kids being wrong

Don’t go around installing random AUR packages, this really shouldn’t need to be said.

Artix is one, but I have no experience with it.

Yeah, currently it is perfectly legal to host piracy sites.

(do I really need an /s?)
