You're welcome! And it's nice to see people who don't regularly use Linux or aren't interested in tinkering too much in the Linux community, we need more!
The Linux Experiment
2024-04-10 08:48:11 +0000 UTCManjaro atomic, if it can be stable, should even be their default variant I think. Manjaro's biggest problem has been how it regularly makes your PC break after an untested update, even though they push these updates back from Arch, plus how they handle mixing AUR packages that require the latest Arch versions, with their own packages that aren't up to date. An immutable variant would likely fix this, or at least provide an easy fallback, so it could be great!
The Linux Experiment
2024-04-10 08:47:21 +0000 UTCI have listened with peaked interest in recent months about how wayland is progressing. Up until 2018 I was a heavy Linux user (and tinkerer) for the previous 18-20 years. Then some personal issues took me away from that. Until listening to your podcast I had never heard of wayland at all and always thought X was just X!! Having said that always had trouble moving to Linux for gaming, to completely get out of the MS mindset. Although Iβm not a cutting edge user of anything, thanks for keeping us up to date with whatβs happening in the Linux world. ππ»

2024-04-09 21:04:55 +0000 UTCGlad to hear that dnf is improving. It was always my favorite package manager for formatting. I'm interested in the Manjaro handheld, I wish them luck, but probably wouldn't get it unless it was a budget option compared to the Steam Deck. Most of all though, I'm interested in their take on an atomic distribution. Manjaro has had the best UX and hardware support for me, but looses a star on stability. If the atomic variant can patch weakness, and maybe like Silverblue you could have containerized subsystems with pacman and the AUR and such for easier development, that would be VERY interesting. Looking forward to trying it out π. (Also it hits me that another Arch-based distro made an atomic variant before Valve managed to release SteamOS with general PC support π€¦.)
