Team Unix (Linux, MacOS) VS team NT (Windows): let's start.

I understand Arch but I don't understand people who feel intellectual using a browser that you just need to follow a manual... nothing against YOU but is a generic opinion. I mean I could understand with Gentoo or even Debian but Arch is more just a tool.
Btw not for me, I prefer stable over rolling release but I don't understand the "btw" is a cool system which got pretty amazing "shortcut".

I'm thinking of switching to a different distribution tbh. I'm growing tired of rolling release. Perhaps I'd want a Fedora. Debian is a bit too stable for my taste, but I like it too.

I use Firefox as the internet browser, Arch is the Linux distribution.

And I was joking about better about using Arch

Don't worry I just annoying people say "I'm genius becuz I'm using Arch" (and they are the same who use Kali as main desktop Linux)

I've been having one issue with OpenSuSE Tumbleweed -- ProtonVPN takes a long tme to load and shut down. From what I could find on the Internet, people on Tumbleweed were having issues with it several months ago. I was running the OpenSuSE Leap instead.

Last night I tried switching to something Fedora calls a "spin". I tried installing their Fedora XFCE but it wouldn't install. So I tried their Fedora Cinnamon. It installed fine but it turns out that I would need to install pretty much every package that I use (and there are a lot of them) by the command line.

I'm going to try going back to OpenSuSE Leap tonight.

Fortunately, I have three solid state disks that I can use for the OS. I'll just unplug this one and the other drives, plug in one of the other two solid state disks, and install to it.

One time I tried installing without disconnecting the old drives and the install process end up using a disk containing music, audio books, and radio shows as a swap drive. So now I make sure when I'm installing that only the one drive is plugged in.

All of my regular files are on other drives and mounted on the system so I just have to add those drives to /etc/fstab instead of having to back them up and copy them over.

Could be that it's just to prompt orientated, for a PC it doesn't work anymore.....people want GUI
I can still open html in edit and even manually edit scripts, I can create total page in edit but formatting would be out, much easier with GUI

Depends on what you working on, some large retailers or airports may still run in oldshool Unix or mainframe....

My servers all have windows managers that can be started, but I almost never do. For what it's worth, I probably only even look at the monitor when I have to restart everything after a power outage. The rest of the time, I connect to them with ssh from my workstation.

If I could afford it, what I'd really love is a cluster of computers as a workstation. That is, instead of one computer doing everything, each of the computers would have a purpose. And, of course, they could have different operating systems.

Think of it like a Qubes OS computer with separate machines instead of virtual machines.

It would likely be possible to use raspberry pi for some of the computers.
