Hi!
I juet tested a few distributions and have some questions how to combine all the good things:
- Fedora - overall I think it was my favourite OS but I would like to choose something less dependent on american corporation
- ChachyOS - Gnome version was crushing during games and KDE Plasma was OK-ish but I don’t like the overall look. Nice thigs - KDE allowed me to change the brightness of my monitor directly in the system (sic!) but looked bad. Also - there is Software app on GNOME desktops that is amazing - apps installed from there always work and there are all apps I usually need - how to bring this app to Mint?
- OpenSUSE - after recovering my system 5 times after performing regular system update last week I decided to look for alternatives
- Linux Mint - Looks nice, I spent only like 30-60 minuts on it so hard to say but I think that if I could bring Software app from fedora/opensuse gnome with flatpak and flathub amazing GUI I would spend some time on customazing the look and would be able to stay longer.
- How to have Software shop from fedora/opensuse gnome on Mint? Is it possible?
- How is the performance in Gming on Mint?
Just a few words, Tumbleweed is great but fast moving – if you can’t find something in the Wiki ask at the Forum, there is a bunch of helpful people.
My Experience with Gnome and KDE was good, but i use Xfce for a while and do most common things like installing, upgrades and so on using the Terminal. Looks like Myrlyn is a good GUI Option for this too, but i can’t say anything about it from own experience.
Oh, and yes, snapper has got you covered if something goes wrong during upgrades. Just don’t forget to do backups, just in case.
Whatever you do, have fun.
