  • Doesn't work on my machine is an opinion not an argument. Different people have different expectations and experiences.

  • Not an excuse tbh.

    The thing to do is participate in the beta programs and report any bugs you find, as you're having so much instability you would be an ideal participant whereas me with my smooth running wouldn't.

  • It really isn't, at least in my experience. And I have an Nvidia card!

  • KDE Plasma is wonderfully stable if you mean reliable, if you mean unchanging then yeah, it has quite a few changes.

  • Bear in mind that they could be playing, cats play rough. The volume is usually a good indicator of how serious it is.

  • Good camouflage.

    • Small Distro Concerns

    Jump

  • Again it depends on what those repositories do.

    EndeavourOS (Arch based) adds a repository which appears to be for their utilities, otherwise they use the Arch repositories. You could probably continue using it with minimal disruption although the utilities would be unmaintained.

    Manjaro (also Arch based) uses its own mirrors of the Arch repositories and adds some of its own. If it vanished, it would quickly become out of date and full of security holes. A new install would be necessary.

    In either case, I'd do a clean install of Arch because why give yourself the headache.

  • It may just be a pre-configured Debian in which case there will be nothing to convert or it may have several additional repositories in which case it will be easier to install the new one.

    RIP.

  • I'm considering making my next BBEG three kobolds in a trench coat and have this playing in the bar at the beginning of the campaign. They can't say I didn't tell them 😅

    • What distro do you use and why?

    Jump

  • The only time I come close to that number of updates (300 - 350) is when KDE Applications and KDE is updated at the same time. I update twice a week.

  • I should have been clearer.
