☂️-

it was kind of a meme for a while in the 2000s that fusion energy was always right around the corner but never actually came. risc-v feels about like that atm.

so one of the reasons distros that update quicker and use newer software are generally considered advanced is because they use brand new less tested software that breaks easier. ie. for enthusiasts looking for all the new shiny features all the time, the best possible performance or easy modularity at the cost of stability.

it’s what i mean when i say you have to accept you need the right tool for the job. newbies who expect and need a stable hands-off experience like you are recommended debian, mint, ubuntu and such for a reason.

don’t worry though, the cool new features and performance will trickle down to you whenever they are ready for wide adoption. and you can be an enthusiast on a boring distro too.

is this the nuclear fusion by 2020 of our generation?

you are arguing from a place of stubbornness. cachy arch and nix are not supposed to be newbie friendly distros. linux doesn’t break easily at all, but only if you accept you need the right tool for that job.

it’s like that youtuber that keeps insisting on using pop os with a beta desktop when he knows its not windows and breaks, and then complains it’s not windows and breaks.

i work with linux and i’ve been updating hundreds of debian, ubuntu and assorted turnkey distros over decades without issue, and you could too.

cachyos is not a system for newbies, or absolute stability. nix isn’t it either.

try fedora, debian, ubuntu, mint or something newbie friendly if you want a newbie friendly experience.
