based anon
an os "workstation" should include a unified interface that not only configures your system and home, but can also create and pack environments, containers, and vms and deploy them.
>>
>>109669069
Also, an os to be defined as "workstation", it should let you focus on the the "work" and not on tinkering with the bespoke os. Therefore, fedora > guix.

Fedora is the only distro that has had thumbnailer problems for me since they stitched things sound in Fedora 43. but it's a huge dealbreaker for me. thinking about installing Manjaro unstable and deleting pamac on a fresh install.
>>
>>109669287
ironically, this has been my worst Linux experience while distrohopping. three different installs, each uniquely broken within an hour over the course of giving it new chances every couple months. even Debian sid was a better experience than OpenDEUCE.

it was GNOME ackshually. extensions were broken, firefox would crash instantly. truly a complete clusterfuck from the first boot.

A linux cannot be a workstation OS. It's a fucking buggy mess. Linux is meant as a server OS.

servers cannot be buggy retard, you aren't making any sense, by far the leader of serious Linux is Ubuntu/Kubuntu

and crying about "outdated" packages isn't valid anymore either since there are tools like Flatpacks

maybe name me three good reasons why you think that instead of shitposting
>Research it a bit.
I did, which is how I determined to give Manjaro unstable a try. even in the Arch wiki, they say pure Arch has no guarantees of being shipped as a complete product. Manjaro is based on Arch and is engineered to ship a complete desktop product. I haven't used Manjaro for a while, but the problem I had seemed to stem from the packages being held back for weeks. Unstable repo syncs multiple times per day with the main arch repos. ditching Pamac on top of that seems to give me exactly what I want with a fraction of the hassle of piecemealing Arch.

I had high hopes for fedora 44 workstation, but it's buggy and with stuttery performance. I can't believe that Linus Torvalds thinks that this is acceptable. It explains why he secretly just uses a macbook pro.

>32 years
32 fucking years they've had to get their shit together and it's still like this. This goes for Linux in general
>>
>>109676476
this happens because every time someone suggests any kind of standard, plebbit and this board loses its fucking mind

It's always either, "it's not ideal for one party to have all the control" or "It must be picasso-level perfection"
>>
>>109676492
Id genuinely like an alternative to fall back on with how bad things are starting to get, then OS age verification is coming by the looks. That to actually owning and having control of my own PC looks like Mint at the moment.

still experimental right?
guix primitives make them unnecessary
just pin the channel and use guix time machine

>>109668977
we use fedora workstation at work

Only distro where I manage to get crash notifications more often than the rest
Also if I'm going to have to use a lot of flatpaks might as well just go full immutable which is what their project seems to be anyways

a ryzen 5900x and a 9070xt

That's odd; The crashing, not your hardware.
