Works great I write and read bluray discs all the time. I ripped my collection to my nas with no issues. Just have to get the keys setup.

https://tildeverse.org/ is the directory for them all

Also check out the tildeverse for a true internet experience. Its our little hideaway from bigtech. Where you can truly connect with people.

I know they are working on it here is a status page and mailing list https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Bananas

Are you dual booting?

I get it that’s the impression and maybe i have used it for so long so i might have a blind spot but what makes it complicated? Its got a gui installer, a live cd. Other than the not having cutting edge software what makes it complicated?

I’m on AM5 with a 6800 and would have a newer card if the cost wasn’t so high. I run Sid for fun but I can run stable with backports and flatpaks

^ This, Debian just works and gets out of your way. But no one seems to recommend it.

I use stow and a local git server to keep and clone to all my machines

The idea of someone using powershell when you are on Linux is a form of self harm and you need to reach out as its clearly a cry for help.

its ether rsync so you can use it on any filesystem but you can also use it with BTRFS snapshots as well

it takes a snapshot of your install before you upgrade

what you could be looking for is a program called Timeshift

its most likely using the ip space of the primary interface to establish the local network and any tun interfaces are scene as remote automatically.

It’s more old school yahoo from what I remember

Lol does that mean he should donate the second 100€

People that got into Linux when most of the main distributions were easier to install than windows in most cases. Some people wanted to show off that they can install a Linux like it was when we did it back in the 90s for some reason I still don’t understand till this day. I do like their wiki though. Works great for debian as well as arch.

?? I manage flatpaks exclusively in the terminal

Wine and proton are the same valve takes wine and adds some tweaks to it to work beter for games. Wine can work in a pinch but I wouldn’t rely on it for your workflow as wine could always be playing catch up when your software updates versions.

Wine/Proton is a translation layer that translates windows system calls Linux system calls. So if wine/proton doesn’t have a feature windows has for your knew version then it will break. That’s okay for games but for something you need for work that can be a deal breaker. If you can switching to something Linux native will benefit you in the long run.

That’s the thing though you really don’t have to deal with old packages. The ones that count are in the backports repo and for everything else there’s is flatpak. Plus I think the reason steamos switched from Debian to arch was the methodology changed from being mutable to immutable and making it more for a handheld vs installed on many systems. It had nothing to do with the quality of the distro.
