What Distros do you want to shoutout and why you think they are doing well/are the best at what they do?

I am curious what is out there and have only had some experience with Linux Mint, SteamOS, and Pop!_OS

      Q: Would a normal system (read: I’m not talking about Guix System or NixOS) allow you to install multiple branches/versions of the same software natively without introducing a lot of headaches?

      A: No. This is literally unsupported.

      Then, if using containers (or any other similar platform) allows one to breach that limitation, would it be fair to call containers (and their like) to be strictly limited/limiting in customization?

          Sure fam. This is actually a situation that might come up a lot. Basically any instance of dependency hell caused by conflicting dependencies would be resolved if two different versions of the same software could coexist.

          • Peeps that are maintaining packages probably have to deal with this every once in a while as well. Especially if the packaged software relies on some very niche (and possibly questionable) dependencies*. To point towards one of the most openly discussed cases of this, consider watching this video by Brodie in which the takedown of the unofficial packages of Bottles is being discussed.
          • E.g. whenever one tries to compile software themselves OR install/use them as/from binaries/tarballs.
          • E.g. installing packages as PPAs or other third party repositories (like e.g. the AUR) can also come with dependency hell and are often the reason why breakage occurs.

              Apologies for the ‘spam’, but I was afraid editing my previous message would be in vain. If you desire/crave for decent documentation, then Bazzite deserves another endorsement. While its documentation isn’t as expansive as the excellent ArchWiki, it should be more than able to answer your questions.

              Secondly, if you happen to come across an issue that has been painstakingly difficult to resolve, then please consider consulting its many community channels for support. There’s a Discourse, a Discord and an AnswerOverflow. So pick your poison 😉. FWIW, I’ve always had great experiences on their Discord.

              İçimden, “Bunca lafın üzerine kankim asaletine yakışanı yapar da bir teşekkürü esirgemez herhalde,” diye düşünmüştüm. Ama maalesef, Türkiyeli olması hasebiyle daha level atlayamamış 😂. Olsun, demek ki henüz kalkınma vakti gelmemiş 🤣.

                Tekte türkçe konuştuğumu bildin. Aferin. Neyse, dediğim gibi; Immutable dağıtımlardan birini şu an ki Fedora KDE ile dualboot edeceğim. Ona göre Immutable dağıtımlara geçebilirim. (GRUB sayesinde kolay olur.)

                alakasız bir rastgele düşünce

                yoksa beni bir yerden tanıyor musun?

                  Ee, ne demişler: Tek akıllı sen değilsin 😉.

                  Eyv, ama dikkat et, o iş biraz karışık bir mesele. Şu bulduğum iki kaynağa mutlaka başvur ki güzelim sistemin b*k uğruna güme gitmesin.

                  yoksa beni bir yerden tanıyor musun?

                  Yoo. Sadece “Bu eleman hangi distro’yu kullanıyor acaba?” diye merak edip profiline göz atınca fark ettim ki… meğer babacan Türkiyeliymiş.
