Sounds like you forgot to instruct it to do a good job.

Yeah, or trim some of the portable apps in medicat since a few are redundant, to make room for a couple more ISOs.

The cool thing with ventoy is you can just drag and drop isos in the folder, no need to reflash.

Ventoy with medicat

Just installed cachy on my partners PC. They just play games, I handle the maintenance.

So far they are impressed at how quick it feels and how fast and unintrusive the system updates are.

I’m not subjecting anyone to anything. I acknowledged that this practice is risky, however these scripts are maintained by a community of other nerds just like every other open source project you enjoy. If you’re going to use these proceed with the same caution you would anything else on the internet, but in my experience they are safe.

Good advice but ime these helper scripts are legit.

OP is talking about dreading major kernel updates because shit might break. I’m not talking about tinkering (though I’d argue against that point too, btrfs and timeshift exist).

Arch updates so often I barely even notice a kernel update; I’m certainly not dreading it.

Also side point, super huge updates on arch are normally an indication that you didn’t perform a full system update in a while. If things are going to break it’s when you dont perform regular system maintenance.

No personal experience with Fedora but if that’d been your experience why not shift to Arch (btw) or something similar. Been daily driving for 3~4 years, super stable and always on latest releases.

This post is a little cringe. Endeavor OS is a great Arch Experience for those who want a little preconfiguration and a GUI install. I’ve since moved onto doing it the arch way, but EOS was a great foot in the door and I know for a fact I’m not alone. Ive learned more about Linux in 2 years going from EOS to Arch (and running a proxmox server) than I would have running some “beginner friendly” distro. Really wish folks would stop gatekeeping.

Not just any dude. That’s Glorious Eggroll! As in GE from GE-Proton.

If this person was given a grant or funding via a kickstarter or something I would agree with the obligation idea, but donations are exactly that, a voluntary gift to the dev for the work they have done so far and may continue to do in the future. There are no “moral obligations” to continue the project.
