governorkeagan ,

I’m looking at putting Fedora Silverblue on my laptop (it’s shared between myself and my wife) after an update went bad on EndeavourOS — context

From what I’ve seen it looks rock solid.

governorkeagan ,

I’ve just finished installing Silverblue on the laptop but will give Bluefin a shot. Thanks for the tip!

I've added it to the original post as well.

governorkeagan OP ,

Yes and no. Initially it was unlocked because I mounted and unlocked it via Dolphin. The second time round I was able to unlock and mount it with udsiksctl

governorkeagan OP ,

It was causing me too much of a headache to try troubleshoot and fix that I decided to wipe the drive. I've got Fedora Silverblue running on the machine now. Thanks for the help!

governorkeagan ,

I switched to Linux in October of last year and found “The Linux Experiment” to be really helpful in keeping up-to-date with things happening in the community without feeling overwhelmed

governorkeagan ,

Curiosity got the better of me, so I searched what it means. I did come across another interesting phrase....

Futa-te cangurii

governorkeagan ,

Your story is almost a carbon copy of mine. Really enjoyed using Pop.

governorkeagan ,

I used Pop!_OS when transitioning from Windows 11 to Linux and ran it for about 3/4 months before deciding to try EndeavourOS. I had absolutely no issues with Pop and it really made the transition super easy.

I'm super excited to try out their new (cosmic) DE! I will probably install Pop on my 2nd SSD to test and play around with it.

governorkeagan ,

Any problems I've had have been my own doing or a weird Nvidia driver issue. Having said that though, I've had very very few issues, it has been rock solid!

I've got a couple of packages from the AUR but I don't recall ever having any issues with any of them.

The only real "issue" I've had has been related to the Linux Kernel on my main machine (Ryzen 5 3600 & Nvidia GTX1660 TI). For some reason, only the LTS and mainline kernel work, if I try any other kernel I get an error (something to do with Nvidia and my GPU).

governorkeagan ,

So…I’ve just updated my laptop with EOS and now my /efi partition won’t mount. Things definitely can break…unfortunately

governorkeagan ,

It all started with a bad update that led to a kernel mismatch. I then attempted to fix the issue and made it worse…it was a little too much for my skill level (I was reading forum posts with similar issues when trying to fix it.)

governorkeagan ,

Works great for me. I’m on X11 for now as an application for work refuses to work with Wayland - support page and I haven’t tried figuring out how to get it to use Xwayland.

Now that I think about it, I had one issue with screen tearing but that was more a driver issue with Nvidia.

governorkeagan ,

This. I’ve not had any issues across my laptop or desktop.

governorkeagan OP ,

This is exactly what I’m looking for, thank you!

governorkeagan OP ,

That looks interesting. I like the idea of trying to emulate a system only using the command line - I learn a lot from hands-on projects like this

governorkeagan OP ,

I’ve been doing this to a lesser extent. Where possible I’d try to use the terminal to perform a task which would often require reading up about certain commands (either because they’re new to me or I’ve forgotten something). I suppose like anything it’ll take time for me to get more confident.

governorkeagan OP ,

I’ll definitely give man some more love. Thanks for the advice

governorkeagan OP ,

That's super useful, thanks!

governorkeagan OP ,

Thank you for such a detailed response.

I've tried learning Vim previously but I never really gave it as much time as I should have. I haven't tried Emacs yet, I'll have a look at that as well.

governorkeagan OP ,

Use find and grep to find all files with a certain extension (this will involve the wildcard character *

I definitely need to practice using find and grep. When I do need to use them I almost always need to look up the command

governorkeagan OP ,

Thank you for such a detailed breakdown! I'll give all of this a go over the weekend.

governorkeagan ,

I tried a couple of months ago on my Windows PC and something went wrong somewhere and my USB was stuck in a permanent read-only state.

I definitely will give it another try though, it's super handy to have.

I'm an idiot and got Ventoy confused with another program I was testing at the time. Please ignore me.

governorkeagan ,

No one is forcing you or anyone to use KDE. You don’t like it? Cool, choose one of the other options available.

governorkeagan ,

Uhm, okay.

governorkeagan ,

I’m running an LTS kernel on my desktop and a non-LTS on my laptop (both machine are running EndeavourOS). Both have been rock solid.

The only instability I’ve had is when I tried running a customised kernel (linux-cachyos)

governorkeagan ,

You’ve just reminded me that I need to get snapshots setup on my EOS install, thank you!

governorkeagan ,

Every Door is another good alternative to StreetComplete.

governorkeagan OP ,

Do you mean, why I don't use Arch? Instead of EndeavourOS or CachyOS.

governorkeagan OP ,

I've not looked at different kernels much so that would be very interesting.

governorkeagan OP ,

I have a very similar sentiment. I’m really happy with EndeavourOS and don’t have any real need or desire to distro hop at the moment.

governorkeagan OP ,

I'll give that a go and see what it's like, thanks! This seems like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway.

What happens to my packages installed with the default repos on my system? Will they get changed to the CachyOS optimized version when I go to update or will they remain the same? My guess is that nothing will happen but I'm not certain.

governorkeagan OP ,

That's good to know. Not worth a reinstall for me then.

governorkeagan OP ,

You've answered another question I had (I asked it in another comment), thank you! I'll give the kernel and Cachy repo a try on my EOS install and see how it goes. Thanks again for the detailed response, it's super useful!

governorkeagan OP ,

I have done a manual install of Arch, just to say that I did. Who knows, I might do that again in the future but for now I'm happy with EOS.

governorkeagan OP ,

Have in mind that package count is unique to each package manager and how the distribution packages.

Didn't even think about that, but it makes total sense.

Besides that the term is also often used to just exaggerate and not meant literally

Totally agree, it makes for a good video/blog title that gets clicks. Those videos/blogs can still be interesting and informative, but, like you said it tends to be exaggerated.

governorkeagan OP ,

I would probably add (as a couple of others have already mentioned) if it slows down the update process by pulling loads of software/dependencies that I'm not using.

governorkeagan OP ,

Me, occasionally. I like seeing the little Pac-Man eat away at progress of a download on EndeavourOS.

Also, this video covers it slightly.

governorkeagan OP ,

I would love to get to the point where I’m as comfortable moving around my files in the terminal as I an in a gui.

governorkeagan ,

Have a look here.

governorkeagan ,

I’m not daily driving PopOS anymore but I’m still super excited to test Cosmic when it releases!
