clickbait title

Isn't regolith more of a i3wm configuration package than a desktop by itself?

This or https://artixlinux.org/ are the only options which come to mind and make some form of sense.

If you are willing to learn more about linux, I think its a good practice to try a distro with a different init system than d. Thats one of the reasons I have void linux on my home laptop.

I am using Tumbleweed on my home desktop for close to 10 years now and I have used the rollback on 3-4 occasions. Probably could have fixed 1-2 of those issues in another way, but I was to lazy and just wanted to get back to more "stable system" asap and wait for further updates to fix the issues.

I installed it just yesterday on a test machine

Hmmm.

What has that to do with my initial comment? And yes that's a rhetorical question.

MS has to make profit of Windows. China doesn't or can't if Deepin is opensource.

Uhm how is chinese state looking to make profit of Deepin?

yea there are similar solutions, but generally termina can display images...soooo...it should be possible. but setups I saw so far are terribly complicated and not very nice to look at. I am a Fan of browsing album covers instead of artist/album names but at the same time most GUI players are kind of lacking on linux.

Whenever I see one of the three #cli music players I wish there was one with properly (easy) to configure album art display.

Imagine a state driven open source distro like deepin in some years.

Why would livemedia be slower than virtualbox? Just get a proper stick and its probably even faster.

Its not about features, its about "duct tape scripts" are rarely a solution for anybody else than the author, imo. Borgbackup seems like the proper suggestion here for the OP.

Get a Mac for Adobe related stuff, install Linux on your other machine. /thread

I disagree, playing around in VMs is not giving you much experience. Rather boot from livemedia and play around with the different preshipped DEs/WMs. After you know which desktop environment is to your liking, you are free to chose whatever distro you want. The only real important part of a distro is its packet manager and documentation. Everything else can be exchanged.

One downside of Opensuse compared to Arch is its lacking Documentation.

I use Opensuse TW on my desktop machine for over 10 years now and I use Debian at work, also have a different distro on my laptop.

Linus.

Sounds like a well thought out solution, but we need proper programs which can handle backups, like some mentioned in this thread.

Well that sounds like miss configuration. I played one of those games without problems on Linux years ago. And performance was very good.

I don't know, this feels cringe on some levels...(parents)
