Are you from the US by any chance?

Totally agree. But if a change has no downside for any of these I’d say it would be a good idea to implement it.

Thanks for the tip. Running Bazzite now but your suggestion seems like a great recommendation too. I’ll check it out.

Thanks for the tip! I didn’t know that distro existed. I’ll definitely look into it.

Thanks! And that’s true. Also part of the beauty of Linux IMO that it actually (almost) always can be repaired. Although it is quite involving at times.

Thank you for your in depth reply! It totally makes sense. I think some distros limit some freedom at first but still allow you to nuke your system if you’d want to although I can’t straight up mention examples.
There’s always the option to run Debian. Rock solid but as said that might come with the downside that newer hardware isn’t (properly) supported yet.
As with anything in life everything is a trade off.

I can totally get behind that. But then I’m left wondering: if that approach minimises the risk of interference, then why don’t all distros work that way?

I’d argue that CachyOS is more noon friendly than arch. As would EndeavourOS be. People fail to see my point that sometimes Linux breaks very easily and I’m not blaming Cachy or Arch specifically but a simple update and sleep should not result in a black screen on any OS IMO. It’s just off putting.. If this would happen on windows I’d definitely complain too. And there have been plenty of instances where microslop added OS breaking things..

Yes you’re totally right. It’s like owning a race car. You have to do a lot of maintenance to it and it will still bite you in the ass but when it works right it’s fast as hell and a lot of fun. But on the other hand: if there’s no downside to built in some failsafes then why not do it?

Why sometimes Linux is hard to switch to
Normally I always forget why I still keep thinking about switching back to Windows. Today was a great reminder.
Linux can be frustrating. This post is somewhat about awareness and partly about me learning about other peoples experiences.
I updated my CachyOS as usual. There were some system packages upgraded and I got the notification to reboot. Figuring I’d do it later I left after some time and the PC went to sleep. Upon returning the screen stayed black. Even upon forced reboot. Remembering I was using Limine with BTRFS snapshots I tried multiple previous snapshots but to no avail. I remember this happened before.
So now I face another reinstall..
This and having to dive into the deep end of terminal commands to get drivers, programs or games working can be quite frustrating. I understand why people are turned off and go back to Windows..
Onto NixOS for me. A big dive but it seems very stable which might be just what i need. I feel like the philosophy of NixOS combined with a graphical store to install programs and what not seems like a great solution.
What would your ultimate distro be like?

Does it happen on WiFi or mobile data?
