Can someone tell me which linux distro I should install that lets me do dist-upgrade? I am tired of reinstalling my OS every 3 fucking years, and shit does not fucking work on ubuntu and I hear arch breaks/has issues recently so I don't want to touch it. Pic unrelated.
Windows
>>106660853Debian stableUbuntu has always been a mess cause they pull their base from testing/unstable Debian repos
>>106660853>I am tired of reinstalling my OS every 3 fucking yearsYou're tired of performing a 30 minute task every three years?
>>106660853Fedora. Linus uses it.
i've never had to reinstall arch nor gentoo
>>106660853I thought distro upgrades were a solved problem on the .deb side of things. I guess not.Fedora or CachyOS.
>>106660853i look like that
>>106663004No you don't.
>>106660853i just installed cachyOS yesterday and i fukn love it so far. got my network printer printing in 20 seconds of setup which has never happened to me on linux before. didn't have to do a nomodeset install and initial boot. and the gui pacman is more convenient than i thought it would be. prior to this i installed opensuse tumbleweed which broke and fucked up updates and was bloated and ended up completely failing and couldn't mount the root partition even on a clean install. then i tried artix and it came with a broken pacman with fucked up gpg keys so i had to delete and reinitialize all of that before i could even get graphics drivers working, after an hour of bullshit i decided to cut my losses and took a friend's advice and did cachyOS and really fucking like it so far.ymmv
>>106663846>gui pacmanYou should try pamac, I think it's comfier than the GUI package manager CachyOS ships with. It has screenshots for all the programs and a proper app store experience.
>>106663864>PamacProbably the only good thing Manjaro has doneSomeone started maintaining the GTK3 version on the aur too which I can recommend. The GTK4 version has a tendency to shit itself and crash a lot.
>>106664234The AUR version is available on the CachyOS repo as pamac-aur
pamac-aur
>>106660853>an image based distro (bazzite, fedora silverblue)>flatpaks everywhere on a debian stable>nixostry these options unironically>inb4 gentoono one's ideal, including foss devs. as such, this shit happens>git version check in make install, fails because stuff's running in a chroot>can be built only with a particular version of a dependency, the deps are vendored, make connects to the net all the time>said vendored deps only work for glibc>ez daemons only for systemd fags>faulty docs>test deps arent available in the main repo>makefile edits often required>straight up fuck over python packages because pip isn't allowed to install packages outside of venv>to be continuedit's niggerliscious and half the stuff isnt even gentoo specific. image/declarative systems try to deal with the issue by freezing or giving programs their own fake environment with / and everything. so listen to me, try them out before listening to memes.
>>106660853arch, all the other popular distros have point versions with "upgrades" (that dont work)
