I want this

I don't have a steamdeck to try this onto, but check this out, it seems very straightforward:

open a terminal, and then paste this:

 bash

    
git clone https://github.com/BlackCorsair/install-jdk-on-steam-deck.git
bash ./install-jdk-on-steam-deck/scripts/install-jdk.sh

  

this will download from github the repository containing the install-jdk.sh script, and then execute it.

close the terminal and open it back in order to source all needed files, and check the correct installation by running

 bash

    
java -version

  

if everything goes flawless, you should have java installed in ~/.local/jdk/

Still better than diarrhea

oh this is strange! thank you very much!

the fact with arch is that I'm a bit scared of messing things up, I was reading some articles about it and the AUR and I don't know if I'm ready yet
how much unstable is debian unstable (XD) in your personal experience?

isn't this also true for stable?

super clear answer! thanks!

why? isn't it more stable than unstable?

thanks for the answer! I am also considering openSUSE

why not? I installed it in a VM and the packages seems all up to date (except for firefox because it uses firefox-esr)

thanks for the answer! In your experience, is Devuan more stable than classical Debian? I've never used a non-systemd distro, so I don't really know what to expect from it

thanks for the answer!

There are a couple weeks/months before a new version is released where testing stops getting feature updates, as the packages are frozen.

and do I need to do something, or I can just do nothing at all? will it still think to be Debian 12 or will it automatically switch to 13?

thanks for the answer! I have installed it on a VM and noticed that only firefox-esr is present, which is a couple of versions behind. Why isn't a "normal" firefox package included? and also, does installing firefox from the unstable branch causes any problems to other packages, conflicts, etc, or is it completely safe?

I never heard of it, what are the pros/cons?

I was thinking about tumbleweed intead of leap because of its rolling nature

thanks for the answer!

exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

I don't need NVIDIA driver so I guess I'm okay then!

used to see complaints about zypper being a slow package manager

oh lol this may be a problem XD

If you’re changing for the sake of package manager speed, don’t.

It's not the only motivation, but the one that convinced me to look around after more than 2 years on fedora. The rolling release is another motivation

thanks for the answer!

lackluster desktop experience especially with drivers and any gaming

why this? is it needed manual work to install the correct drivers?
