Back then, SUSE didn&#8217;t have a rolling release, and I found the frequent version updates of the &#8220;Leap&#8221; distributions incredibly annoying. To this day, I still think Arch is the coolest distro out there. Between the power of the AUR and community-maintained repos like <code>archlinuxcn<\/code> and <code>archedu<\/code>, it\u2019s a remarkably convenient daily driver. Plus, the community is vibrant, the ArchWiki is arguably the best resource for learning Linux, and let\u2019s be honest\u2014the logo is just cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite all that, I switched to openSUSE Tumbleweed a year ago. OpenSUSE is simply more &#8220;plug-and-play&#8221; for modern hardware: Secure Boot and Trusted Boot are easy to configure, and <code>pcr-oracle<\/code> makes the whole setup seamless. The Snapper integration is a massive safety net, and YaST remains a powerhouse of utility. They even offer &#8220;Slowroll&#8221; if you want a more tempered rolling experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Everything is great&#8212;except for Packman. Honestly, Packman is a nightmare. You&#8217;re forced to use it for codecs just to get hardware acceleration in <code>mpv<\/code>, but it often lags behind the main repositories. This leads to broken updates and that infamous &#8220;this-is-only-for-build-envs&#8221; conflict.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My journey with Arch Linux began almost two decades ago.
