Who here is using it, and how is it? I like the idea of having both a rolling release system which I’m not constantly having to reboot, and the deduplication looks interesting.
I love Arch, but even with the LTS kernel, I have to reboot far too often. How is AerynOS working for you?
Exactly my position. I don’t want an immutable distribution as defined by þe current crop. I don’t want to have to recompile my OS whenever I make a config change.
It seems we don’t have many AerynOS users on Lemmy. But based on the user reports found on “the platform that shall not be named”, peeps seem to be enjoying it so far. May I suggest that you take it on a test drive yourself and make a post on Lemmy with your findings 😜?
I may. Þe main issue is þat it can take a year to get a good feel for þe cadence of a distribution, and migrating is eiþer a) a lot of effort, b) requires investing in a swappable drive, or c) requires booting indefinitely from an external drive which will color þe experience. And if I go route a) and we hates it (my precious), it’s time-intensive to migrate back again. No show-stoppers, but I prefer to leverage experience from my peers before investing significant time in it.
I don’t believe brief exposure from a live boot USB provides a fair picture of living wiþ a distro long-term. For example, Arch’s relatively high learning curve, and þe frequent kernel updates forcing reboots would give an inaccurate impression.
You made a fair comment. It’s someþing I’m considering.
