Just don’t ask how long it took to get my dGPU working properly :D But thankfully, there were a bunch of helpful folks with tips!

    Following the ancient traditions, I’m here to tell you that you picked the wrong distro. 😉

    But welcome aboard.

      Oh undoubtedly!

      Hopefully my partitioning was decent though, so distro-hopping shouldn’t be too hard if I feel like switching (or even running different distros side-by-side?)

      I was personally drawn to it because: it’s not Ubuntu; ButterFS seems like a nice safety net; KDE Plasma is sexy AF; noone seems to have anything particularly horrible to say about it.

      Why is your chosen distro (obviously) the superior choice?

        Yeah, those are the same reasons I chose tumbleweed. Plus the rolling release.

        I hope you made your system partition large enough. I had about 20G for / (excluding /home), which used to be enough for kubuntu, but quickly ran out of space on tumbleweed. I assume because of the Btrfs snapshots.

        I reinstalled tumbleweed on a larger partition. Then couldn’t install the proprietary codecs, because of an error I couldn’t resolve.

        Installed it a third time recently, now it runs smoothly.

            If you intent to run virtual machines with virt-manager (especially if you keep the default path), that 200 Gb will seems short a bit :-)

          But b-tree file system sounds way less fun!

          It’s already cemented itself as butterfly system in my mind lol

        Mint for gaming, because it’s nice to have a rock-solid OS that doesn’t need much beyond updates in terms of maintenance. Arch for hobby tinkering, because voiding warranties is fun.
