Switching back to Arch XD. Gentoo giving me troubles with QEMU. I will still fetch it as a stratum though because I will hijack Arch with Bedrock ofc. The distrohopping continues...
Ok im really liking Gentoo and it is great but like stuff just doesn't work and to be honest I send the portage output to DeepSeek every time and ask is this good? and if it's not it fixes it for me like I don't think im cut out for Gentoo. Specifically for that reason. Especially because I hate relying on AI because it is so wrong most of the time. I could always switch back to Artix which I know and love but it doesn't feel like a challenge which I like. Idk what's everyone's take here?
EDIT: My bad I was just tired and did not feel like recompiling my kernel in the middle of the night dw I am staying on Gentoo my beloved (might gen be a toxic relationship)
I installed CalamaroOS (Gentoo with Calamares installer) because I have a life and didn't want to manually install. Also oddlama's gentoo-install script kept failing. So then I installed that and then stripped out the CalamaroOS branding and then installed Bedrock Linux so I could pull in other packages and such like Arch repos.

Jokes aside, anyone here actually done it I'm curious what I would be getting myself into lmao.
So I use Arch on my main PC as of now but I'm trying openSUSE on my laptop and it is honestly really cool so far. BUT I know it is a bit more niche, and Fedora also exists. SO. Attention Arch users, openSUSE users, and Fedora users. What are your likes/dislikes with your distro? Also if anyone has additional distros I should try share your opinions too lol.
So I noticed that system installed apps take ages to launch and are even noticeably laggy inside the app itself, while home installed apps install completely normal with speed comparable to another distro like Arch or Debian. Why is this? And, can system apps be sped up or is that just how they are? Right now I have a home packages setup in my configuration.nix file because I have a one-user system so it doesn't matter, but I would like to know if there is a way I can "fix" the system installed apps to be a reasonable speed and not be laggy. For now I only have apps like git or fish or waybar installed in system packages and then actual packages I use like firefox or vesktop are installed in home packages because I need them to be faster. But I would prefer them to be installed via system packages just out of simplicity and peace of mind. So back to my original question, can system packages be sped up to not be excessively slow and laggy?
So we have been like- not really BEING a system lately??? Like, just not paying attention to switching at all, and I'd like to not do that. But then again, I have a tendency to make up headmates or overthink and treat every tiny little identity shift as OH I'm a new person now. It is difficult because we don't have obvious switches or any amnesia other than time amnesia. (A dormant headmate for example, would come back and remember everything that happened but not the date and feel weird about the climate being a different kind of thing) Anyway, so we want to, like, get back into system-related things, but really don't know how to do that?? It feels like so many of the "original" headmates are like- gone????? And if I will them back, it feels like I'm making them up and just pretending to have them back, idk. Very irritating and wondering if anyone has advice.
I have Irish and Scottish ancestry and actually visited there recently and recently became friends with someone who is Irish and is a Druid and I was interested. So I am curious as to where to even start with this? I know I can look up websites but it feels smarter to talk to real Druids for the most accurate information. So anyway, please give advice or ask questions I am genuinely considering this as a lifelong practice. Thanks!
Hey! New to the community and LOVE independent distros like this. I put AerynOS on my laptop and am loving it, thinking about putting it on my main gaming PC, however I have NVIDIA and heard that NVIDIA support is iffy? Or has worse performance? Just coming here to see if others have personal reports of issues or details of what's happening with NVIDIA support right now. Thanks!
Yes I know red hat made it, which some people don't like but what is the logical reasoning of why systemd is actually bad. I would love to hear everyone's opinions because I am thinking about switching distros, but I'm not totally sure, and also I just like to learn about these things.
So, I want to make a linux install and then say "rate the setup" and send a screenshot to my friend, but I want it to be the WORST possible setup imaginable. I want it to be AWFUL. But I'm not sure what distro, DE/WM, etc that I should use! Also, if anyone has any ideas of apps to install please tell me lmao. I already plan on installing Microsoft Edge as the main browser.
EDIT #1: My friend's least favorite linux distro is ElementaryOS this is about to be diabolical
EDIT #2: Ok ElementaryOS VM install failed and their second least favorite is Fedora wish me luck
EDIT #3: Done! Pls share any other things I should do lmao.
So I'm sort of new to learning about Wicca and I have known about it for about a year and have been wanting to learn more and maybe practice it but I have no idea where to start or even how most of it works. Can you guys please explain how you started and how it works please?
I'm just starting transition and am wondering if it will always feel like I'm making the voice different or if it will become the default voice that I just use without thinking about it.
So i just got a new PC, and before, I had a laptop I played games on. It's definitely not a gaming laptop by any means; it was just decent at it. So, Right now the laptop has linux and hackintosh dual booting, but since I have linux on the gaming PC, I'm not sure what to put on the laptop. I still want to use the laptop for travel and maybe gaming when I'm not home. I really want to try a BSD, but that's not possible for steam gaming at all. I could keep it the way it is, go full hackintosh, remove the hackintosh and have it as only linux, I could dual boot multiple distros, I could install BSD, or lastly, I could dual boot linux and BSD. Btw it is the Dell 5490. Any suggestions? Maybe even more OS options I could try?
