    My record is 4 years without update. I had to upgrade every version instead of jumping directly to the latest because I read this is how it is done.

    This worked for Debian flawlessly. Another Laptop with Arch Linux died after updating a 2 years old system.

    Interesting, do you only use software from “good people”? Like X (twitter), Brave Browser and oh, obviously Lemmy itself?

    I mean, I use hyprland because it’s f*cking awesome, I never heard about how bad their devs are, I only check these stuff if I consider to “donate a coffee” for the devs. And I never tossed a coin for hyprland.

    Why shouldn’t I use it?

    Since you have experience on Linux, why not Arch Linux. It’s not that hard-to-master-install from the past since “archinstall” exists.

    And you get a system with all your wishes of combinations that exist in the linux world. And the best well documented Wiki from Arch stays at your side.

    Alternative would be fedora, easiest installer of all. And their logic of “just all firmwares, can’t fail” should help nvidia users out-of-the-box.




  • Nice list, looks like I did near the same. Just an advice, what I did, after years of using Lenovos I searched especially for used Dell XPS laptops with TPM Chips < 2.0. These high level laptops are perfectly for Linux and since they are not win 11 compatible, they are cheap.
