Yeah I used to play with distros until I realized they’re all mostly the same apart from having different package managers and release models. Most are just derivatives of Debian, Ubuntu, and Arch with a different desktop.
Lately I don’t have much time for playing with os as before. Perhaps one day will check out other distros but for now am satisfied with what I got, mostly since it is easy to maintain.
I kind of fell in love with Debian as once I set it up I don’t think about it. And upgrades to newer releases works fantastic in my experience. There can be some issues when there is a change in behaviour but those tend to be documented in update notes.
Old laptop takes bit longer to turn on, while sleep or just locking is instant for me. Just got used to having it available on instant. Often security updates at most require service restarts so no issus there. Read it as I am lazy not issue with updaits themselves.
I’d also add that Arch is not as easy to install as Debian. Until last year (I think), the only way to install was manually but they’ve since added an install script to make it easier. I don’t use or recommend any of Arch’s derivatives (except maybe Artix), and especially not Manjaro.
Edited
Arch is a rolling release, so it is more “bleeding edge” in terms of kernel updates. But you only update as often as you want, IME, and you can run older/LTS kernel(s) if you prefer. Arch has a number of officially-supported kernels.
$ sudo pacman -Syyuonce every week or two, less often on my server, and usually in single-user mode. The latter is a trick I implemented after playing with Manjaro for a while, and seems to result in much “cleaner” upgrades.Edited
Arch updates all the time. It’s a rolling release distro so all packages are updated whenever a new version is released and there are no major upgrades or “versions” of Arch. Debian only gets major system upgrades every two years, except for security updates. If that’s too often for you, then you might as well not use a computer at all since any operating system is going to require updates.
How often are there updates on Arch, I find them annoyingly often on Debian. Kernel updates making me restart every 2 months.
Yeah same.
