    For me it’s become all about convenience. Is Ctrl-Alt-T preconfigured to open a terminal? Can I move it around with Super-[arrows]? Are all the drivers and codecs I need in the standard repos? No (or little enough) bloatware? Then I’ve found a distro for me. I don’t care about anything else anymore.

    I was hopping several distros.

    Ubuntu. Nah not my thing.

    Fedora. Mhh yeah but I have Nvidia isn’t there sth. For me?

    Ah yes Nobara. Nice a distro from the glorious eggroll guy.

    Switched because of stupid reasons… To:

    Debian-trixie. Cool that’s the distro I will stay.

    My system gets somehow into a boot loop after 60 seconds of logging in…

    Ok let’s try Linux Mint. Mhh on my laptop it works better… Nah my hardware doesn’t like Mint.

    Nixos. Holy shit is that difficult to use. I love it! Stable as fuck. Bleeding edge almost. Newer gonna use sth. else. That thing is amazing and a ton of work to do anything.

      NixOS? Ain’t nobody got time for that. I still try to not struggle with weird flickering while gaming using EndeavourOS + Hyprland using Nvidia graphics. It’s a pain. But one day I’ll make it work and it will feel so good.

        I think that’s entirely a Hyprland problem. Iirc there’s some option in the misc config group in the config to help mitigate that.

        E: I meant specifically opengl:nvidia_anti_flicker

          Yeah I tinkered around with it a bit yesterday. There are some tips in the hyprland wiki, talking about adding nvidia specific modules in mkinicpio that might help. Problem is that, seemingly by default, it’s using dracut. Right now that whole construct is going a bit over my head tbh.

          I also tried adding those custom rules:

          windowrulev2 = fullscreen,class:^steam_app\d+$

          windowrulev2 = monitor DP-3,class:^steam_app_\d+$

          windowrulev2 = workspace 10,class:^steam_app_\d+$

          workspace = 10, border:false, rounding:false

          But they don’t seem to work

        Good news! The flickering issue has been solved a couple days ago, with new support for explicit sync in Wayland. The fix just needs to be merged into wlroots and hit the Arch repos, then your troubles are over.

            Maybe Ubuntu LTS will backport the update to their older versions since the issue is a deal breaker for affected users. But I wouldn’t count on it cause it isn’t a security issue.

        I mean I love it but I really can’t recommend it to anyone who wants to use their PC without spending several hours to do simple things.

        I can install Vanilla Arch in 10 minutes, how is EndeavourOS “a pain” ?

    I’m distro hopping because Ubuntu was perfect for me in basically every way, but I don’t want to be locked to a closed distro…

    I haven’t found anything I like yet, and I don’t have the skills (or motivation) to make core Debian feel the same.

    I’ll probably end up back on Ubuntu, at least for my server machine… it just worked the way I wanted it to, and the ui was lovely for me. Plus it’s stable enough that I can just keep it up indefinitely without issue.

      I use Ubuntu too, because it works and has wide compatibility for everything, any software that supports Linux is generally tested on Ubuntu, etc. I use Ubuntu because if I tried anything else I’d end up becoming a distro hopper lol

        You comment gives me vibes of “I don’t do heroin because I know I’d get addicted”. I say this as someone who is currently flirting with distro hopping. I wouldn’t call myself a distro-hopper yet, but I’m certainly en route to that

        Ok let’s guess

        Track bike, road bike, mountain bike, fat tire, ebike, and a BMX?

        I’m jealous of that actually! I have a nice Jamis hybrid that I setup for commute but I would really love something built for speed for when I’m taking things serious during the summer. I’m not into trails riding so a second ride would be enough, plus I live in Michigan where it’s winter almost half the year.

        3 lol. The schecter E1 FR S is my main baby but I do reach for my S series Ibanez when I still want speed but with the half the weight and my Fender Strat for that classic sound.
