Thank you. This is very helpful.

Unfortunately, I don’t see any extra Noto fonts in Aurora’s packages.json. But, at least, I can communicate via Github issues?

Do you recommend Aurora or Bazzite or something else?

So, I imply that you mean it is normal.

I installed Sparky Linux 7 on my backup laptop computer because I failed to install Debian.

Maybe Sparky Linux …

Normally, I use Debian. However, Debian 12 installer didn’t work on my Acer Extensa 💻. So I installed Sparky Linux, and it works.

People claiming Linux isn’t a viable alternative cause you can’t run it without using the command line.

Even in 2024, many people begin using GNU/Linux with Arch Linux or Ubuntu with apt-get, then later they complain that Linux is not for average users. Maybe the community needs more GUI only tutorials.

Like Thinkpad, the main brand is Lenovo. Thinkbook keyboard is like Acer and other brands.

I’m using Lenovo ThinkBook, which is cheaper than Thinkpad, and the keyboard layout is different. It supports upto 40GB of RAM.

RK3588 is used in many Linux devices, but I’m not sure if Rockchip is in the BDS list. I don’t know which factory was RK3588 from.

I heard that Linux gets new patches for Loongson, but I didn’t try it yet.

Yes, it is stable.

Because of the Redhat incident, I started to see people asking for community-based distros without a corporate that dominates the community. And, Mageia is one of them. So, I hope it will be more popular.

• KDE is the default. So, for KDE users, Mageia with KDE was tested.
• Mageia comes with Drake tools for configuring almost everything. IMO *drakes look quite friendly. Since they have been around for 20+ years, they must be stable.
• Each release will be supported for 18 months, which is longer than Fedora.

Such files are relatively easy to create and read, as they are basically shell scripts.

I agree. I lean towards writing in Bash script instead of learning yet another special-purpose language. Nonetheless, the RPM spec doesn’t seem to pose any additional difficulty.

The immutability and configuration of Nix seems so appealing but at this point I’m really comfortable with Arch and it does everything I need in a pretty sane way so idk if I’d switch anytime soon.

Back in 2018, I had the experience of using NixOS. At that time, I noticed that the Nix language had a striking resemblance to Haskell, which stirred up feelings of anxiety within me.

One is that it’s a shell script,

Using Bash sounds convincing to me.

Do you also dislike openSUSE and openMandriva?
