Why I'm Hopping Linux Distros to openSUSE This Weekend
Quoting: Why I'm Hopping Linux Distros to openSUSE This Weekend —
I've had Garuda installed for several months now, and during that time I've loaded up my file system with mountains of packages for testing, plus a bevy of virtual machines. To be honest about my poor software hygiene, I rarely remember to uninstall something when I'm through with it, even if I only needed it for a few seconds. That's especially the case with command line software, which doesn't appear as an icon in my desktop or application launcher. Given enough time, I also forget what packages were installed by me on a whim and which ones are system-critical. All cruft builds up, and eventually it easier to nuke it than to try to reverse-engineer a clean and lean operating system.
So the time has come for a nuking. I'm not unhappy with Garuda Linux; I'd be mostly satisfied with just downloading the latest ISO and starting anew with it. Unfortunately, Linux distro FOMO has gotten the best of me, though, and I can't help but wonder what else is out there.
