No, I am using fedora silverblue which is point release. But there are rolling release immutable distros like opensuse aeon/kalpa im pretty sure. Basically the system files are read only and packages are “layered” onto the system image through transactional upgrades. Most of the packages you want to install should be in containers like flatpak (for gui) and distrobox (for terminal). This keeps the base system clean and small and doesn’t get “bloated” like other mutable OS’s.

It’s a way to go at least for rolling release. However, tw is looking less and less interesting than it used to 5 years ago now that all these shiny new immutable distros are coming out.

For me searxng hasn’t been working (tried multiple instances, throws mixed errors). I’ve been using whoogle and it works pretty well.

If you want lightweight, void is pretty good. Not sure about nvidia though.

I feel like this ruins the aspect of an archive of information where users can go back through and find useful info similar to SO in a way. Maybe there will be a meta search engine for looking through all of the popular instances?

Wow I had no idea Kate had support for LSP after using plasma distros for years. I always assumed it was a basic text editor and used vim instead.

I’m pretty sure sid also has package freezes for when it moves up to testing. In general Debian’s purpose is as a stable distro and it might be better to use a distro that focuses on rolling release for bleeding edge packages.

Can windows also break grub on gpt or only legacy mbr?

Tbh, I feel like it’s a loud minority tho. The majority of linux users (also happen to be the quietest) are “normies” that use Ubuntu and don’t have this type of attitude.
