I still havent transitioned to debian (still have win10 as main), I’m just booting to them from an external drive, so I can simply wipe the root partition any time I want to try a distro :)

Once I settle with a distro and manage to set it up the way I want, I will probably fully switch to linux (and maybe keep an image of my win10 os to run in a vm)

Storage wasn’t my biggest issue (besides, I have 1tb internal ssd). It was that flatpaks couldnt communicate well with the rest of the environment. So I resorted to using flatpaks mainly for closed source apps that I wanted to isolate.

BUT, as I was making a script (https://github.com/BlastboomStrice/3rdPartyAutoUpdater) to automate github/gitlab/etc. updates (because the debian repo doesnt have them or they are outdated), I realized that I was essentially making a small scale version of nixos package manager.😆

So, now I’m very tempted to use the nix package manager and maybe do a full switch to NixOS (I’m not very advanced though, I havent even tried Arch, so ughh).

My mood concearning what distro to use on my laptop is rather volatile😅

Yeah, I see what you mean.

I initially thought about using flatpaks for almost every non-core app, but then I found out that 1) it’s hard for flatpak apps to communicate with the rest of the system and 2) for a 10Mb app, 1+Gb might be downloaded. So, I’m trying to avoid these too🥲

Also, some packages dont even have flatpaks, so I grab packages from github (and installing .deb packages on testing may lead to failed installs due to missing dependencies…)🥲

I see I see, thank you for you quick reply. This tempts me even more to use sid, hmm.

This is a different question from the original post, but do you happen to know what to do when listbugs warns me that a package has bugs? I suppose almost all packages have some bugs to some degree. Should I just avoid them on Sid? Or should I check how bad the bug is (if it belongs to a serious category) and decide whether to update it?

To not keep you waiting any further, I want to let you know I’ll probably not do that. Besides, I havent ever edited wikipedia.😅 I havent even tried the program yet. Thank you creating this, if I check the program in the future I’ll see what I can do.

(I suppose you have talked to the appropriate wikipedia mainteners, right?)

Also if anyone else sees this and adds it, please let us know.
