Maybe you should familiarize yourself with CentOS Stream and its purpose.

Backup $home and /etc. That should be good enough.

This is nice. Shame it won’t support systemd.

Yes. Flathub aims to replace your distro’s repository as the source for non-system packages.

Install Opensuse Leap.

Podman could never compare to the quality of docker. I wish people who don’t know any better would just stop comparing the two and suggesting podman as a replacement.

Sounds like cope to me.

Am not going to allow that excuse. Podman is backed by Redhat, the biggest corporate in the Linux world.

And you are a podman shill so 🤷‍♂️

Cope

Podman-compose is not feature complete IIRC. There are many more issues I can go into if you’d like.

Save your time. Podman lags so far behind docker, it is not even worth it.

The blue A-shaped logo distro just clicked for me. Don’t think I’ll ever get tempted to wander.

Dejadup backup is neat if you need a GUI. But TBH, you really don’t need a GUI, restic will work just fine as long as you target a few folders. It mostly boils down to file/folder hygiene.

Arch BTW.

As an Almalinux user I wanted them to tell Red Hat to fuck off with their Stream, but this news is still good I guess for the short/mid term. I still think they are making a mistake for trusting Red Hat to keep their products/ sources up.

Any (Arch) based distro + Sway

Some apps automatically pick up your theme some don’t. For these I give the specific app access to my theme folder with a :ro at the end of the path.

IDEs should work ootb. If some extension doesn’t work, maybe it’s because of poor support for Flatpak. 9/10 times you’ll find the issue is that app is calling the traditional /usr/bin path etc. when Flatpak installations use different paths.

9/10 desktop applications I use are flatpaks. Am on Arch and even when there’s an AUR for a package I’d prefer to use Flatpak. Just so I can use Flatseal to control permissions access on my applications.

I don’t really care that much for Oracle’s role in Linux but IBM’s Red Hat is clearly the drunk guy here.
