I am bored of distro hopping
What Os should i use now
>>
>>108808048
Realistically, by using a window manager only like i3, Hyprland, etc., and then downloading programs piecemeal rather than accepting a suite of them all together packaged with the DE.
Unrealistically, by just booting into the TTY and working from there. Without a DE, you will have no greeter, so you'll get dropped into the text based TTY login. You could go from there, but honestly it would be stupid unless it's not a desktop experience you're after.
>>
>>108807880
nice I would use Arch with CachyOS repos if I didn't run my own distro

You can sit in a dark room and imagine the code
>>
>>108808097
it's literally in the op, if you're tired of distro hopping, that's exactly the distro you want. quick and easy preconfigured arch.
>>
>>108807880

It makes me optimistic about Windows 11 because it has spooked MIcrosoft.

the only thing windows had is gaming, we'are at the point that some native windows games run better on linux

>>108807880
It's an okay distro. I use nixos with hyprland.
>>
>>108808097
If you want a distro that just works cachyos or arch. You won't distro hop anymore unless you want a declarative, atomic, reproducible distro which would be nixos or guix.

I'm actually going to be buying a cheap thinkpad to do this with because I could honestly do 100% of everything I feel good about doing in the terminal and it would be nice to have an environment to live that fantasy to the max without any bloat or modern web distractions.
>>
>>108808280
I spend too much of my time on the computer interacting with images and rich documents for that to be feasible for me, but if you really do interact with nothing but plaintext inputs and outputs then I can see how it would be OK. I have a headless server that I only manage with SSH and no tunneling GUI or web UI and that feels very clean and no additional mess. It's nice.
>>
>>108808280
>buying a cheap thinkpad
you know that you can just disable your display manager and you will boot into a tty, why do you minimalists always go for the most retarded solutions

>>108808569
if you want a bloatless setup then just dual boot retard or use btrfs subvolumes and have a root parition with zero bloat. but go ahead consooom your thinkpad and feel good about yourself.
>>
>>108808578
Obviously if you install a greeter... you will have a greeter. I'm just saying if you go from having a DE to not having a DE, you won't have the one you might be expecting, and probably none at all if you were already relying on the DE to provide one.

Use case for CachyOS? Mention one thing it can do that Ubuntu or Fedora can’t already handle.
>>
>>108808637
pacman, aur, x86-64-v4
call someone to change your diaper now
>>
>>108807880
Cachy is a distro ig. Ok.
>>
>>108807880
I use this too!
After ~8 months of using it, I realized that I should use paru instead of sudo pacman -Syu to update my AUR packages too...
>>
>>108807880
which initramfs?

>>108807884
ED?
>>
>>108808280
You can do this already with Control+Alt+F2 or Control+Alt+F3 (all the to F6 I believe). You can keep a DE or WM open in TTY1/TTY2 by default and just switch to it when needed. TTY + Tmux is very usable if you only use TUIs. You're more likely to actually use it if you do it on your main computer, but if buying a Thinkpad to do this has more of a fun/cool factor then go ahead.
