I disagree (a bit at least).

Debian is just as prone to breaking due to the lack of fallbacks (e.g. Snapper), it just doesn’t break as often because it doesn’t change as much as Arch.
If you use a minimal/ default install, this won’t happen as easily, but as soon as you customise anything, you get problems.
Arch can be reliable too, there are many people who have had the same install for years without breaking.

I would actually recommend Fedora Atomic or other image based distros, e.g. VanillaOS.
They can be more modern, while being way more reliable thanks to atomic updates/ transactions, complete image rollbacks and the reproducibility.
They are a dream to use imo!

Yeah, Feddit.de is currently broken and therefore pictures don’t work atm. Sorry!

Du faselst Quatsch…

Die Quecksilberdämpfe sind nicht dafür da, um Strom in Licht umzuwandeln, sondern nur für den Extrakick, wenn man damit Hasch, Meth oder DMT verdampft.

Sowas lernt man doch in der 3. Klasse 🤦

6/10

• Nachhaltig
• Simpel
• Günstig
• Stinkt aber wie Sau
• Ungesund
• Verschwenderisch
• Aber dafür stilvoll und traditionell.

Eine alte Glühbirne hätte aber auch Stil. 🙃

Dynavap FTW!

• Keine Verschleißteile (Akku, etc.), nur Stahl. Solange du das Teil nicht verlierst, hälts dir ewig!
• Erhitzen mit Feuerzeug,
• Man muss nichts aufladen,
• Modular und alles nachkaufbar,
• Sehr leicht zu reinigen,
• Man kann damit auch Extrakte dampfen,
• und und und!

Hatte auch mal einen elektronischen Verdampfer, aber die sind idR. nicht so langlebig…

You can still install Nix (package manager) on Atomic, on uBlue, it even comes pre-installed afaik.

And also, there’s Distrobox, which is totally enough if you prefer package managers over Flatpaks.
I personally like the “reliance” on Flatpaks. I think it reduces the fragmentation and makes it easier for devs, but that’s just my opinion. Do as you prefer.

I don’t like apt too as much. But, interface-wise, you can make it way better with Nala, which is a frontend for it.

NixOS is too complicated and demanding for most users, who aren’t programmers or hobbyists, imo.
I prefer Fedora Atomic. It has the same pros (unbreakable, highly configurable with universal-blue.org, etc.) but feels way more user friendly.
I use it with Distrobox on top, so I can use my package manager/ distro of choice (turned out to be Arch btw) on a extremely reliable system.

For your case, you can replicate Mint by just installing the Cinnamon image from uBlue and applying some minimal tweaks.
Then you get the user friendliness from Mint with the flexibility and unbreakability from NixOS. Do you like the idea? Just in case you get annoyed by NixOS in the future 🙃

Definitely! The only “good” 3rd-party themes are the ones from Jomada (Edna, Moe, Itchy, etc.) and from Vinceliuice (Graphite, Canta, Layan, etc.).
Those are well thought out, coherent and look professional.

If you scroll through the top ones, then you almost exclusively find ones that got their last update years ago, and now look extremely incoherent or buggy.
And even if you find newer ones, then they often lack the polish.
Man, it just sucks…

But hey, maybe there is just not that much demand anymore, because the defaults look great nowadays?

I sadly, and I don’t say this lightly, have to agree.
When first using KDE, I was totally baffled by the amount of themes you can download.

But I quickly learned, that most of them are either more than 5 years old, look ugly/ incoherent, or cause this blurriness issue OP mentioned.

For my taste, Breeze (or to a further extend, Lightly) looks phenomenal by default, especially since Plasma 6. I only change the color scheme a bit (usually just adaptive colors, based on wallpaper), but that’s it.

Debian is community run, which often means all changes and features get implemented because the community wants that, not some corporation. One notable example of that is Snap.

Also, I found (minimal install) Debian a bit more minimalist than Ubuntu server, which is great imo. I just want the bare minimum for my services to work, and pretty much the only thing I expect from my server to have is SSH and Docker.

Debian. I don’t see much benefit of Ubuntu LTS compared to plain old Debian. It’s exactly what you wanted.

Alternatively, AlmaLinux is a good choice if you like Red Hat stuff (RHEL clone), but the difference between Ubuntu LTS and Debian would be almost not noticeable for you I think.

I downvoted the post here, because I think it doesn’t belong into Linuxmemes.
But even though I disagree in some way, I upvoted the original post in c/Linux, because I think you spent quite some time writing it. I’ll discuss my thoughts with you in the other thread ✌️

I really like that post!

It seems like OP put a lot of work and creativity into the meme, while intelligently criticizing a problem and not just using “Windows bad hurr hurr” as the base.

I wanna see more of those kind!

My recommendation would be to use Logseq.

It’s similar to Obsidian (“Second Brain”/ PKM), but with the journal function as backbone.

It relies heavily on crosslinking, is markdown-based, very efficient and a joy to use once you “got” it, and supports a hell lot of features, including TODO, plugins, a knowledge network (“graph view”) and much more.

I use it for everything (external brain) and pretty much never loved a piece of software this much!
It sounds like it is THE tool you’re searching for!

Great that you looked into the compatibility first. Many solvents can dissolve, or at least swell, parts of the machine.

The good thing is, solvent isn’t solvent. There are different kinds (polarities, etc.), and maybe something like alcohol might work.
Problem is, grease is hard to dissolve with those.

In the industry, you have special “laundry washing machines” (sort of) that work with hot solvent, e.g. benzyl alcohol, since you need movement and heat preferably to clean everything decently.
Even with a good solvent, degreasing with your washer alone won’t work as great.

I personally would go for an ultrasound bath. They tend to work more mechanically (phsically) instead of chemically, and with them, you can dissolve the dirt with soapy water pretty easily, without any volatile solvents or risks. You can get a decent one for 50 bucks starting price, or 100 if you want a bit better one.

I have no idea what a part washer is, but maybe consider using an ultrasonic cleaner.

You can then either load it with surfactants (e.g. SLS) in a water phase or with apolar solvents like cineol, terpentine or limonene, which have similar solving capabilities as diesel, but are bio based and not as flammable.

Using surfactants alone without ultrasound won’t work, but using solvents alone won’t keep the particles in phase, as they would just sink to the bottom.

If you tell me exactly how this washer looks like/ works and what exactly you wanna clean, I can help you more.

Okay, danke!

Will auch einen kaufen. Haben die inzwischen ihre Lieferzeiten im Griff? Gibt es was, was du an dem Gerät nicht magst?

I made a similar post a few weeks ago.
I will try uBlue core and give you all a small update about it.

I feel similar about Debian. It’s a good distro for sure and I don’t have any issues with it for server use, but somehow, I still don’t like it somehow. RPM-/ OSTree based distros are more my taste, and I don’t even know why.

Because containers (Distrobox, Flatpak, etc.) are bae.
You can read my post I made a while ago for more information: https://feddit.de/post/8234416

Once you “get” image based distros, you probably never want to go back. Traditional distros just feel… off now for me.
Containerisation is the biggest strength in Linux, we use it all the time on servers, so why not on the desktop?
Atomic OSs just make more sense for me, not only because of security/ bug/ whatever reasons, no, also because they feel simpler and are pretty convenient and robust.
