I moved from win10 to PikaOS, after misunderstanding why linux mint installed on a USB was unusably slow. It's fine, but some weird problems. I think Mint can get closed source Nvidia drivers easily enough. The open drivers are fine enough.
is Bazite better than Pika? is fedora base better than Debian/Arch base?
I would argue that that particular insistence of theirs is precisely why they're still relevant today and seemingly immune to the enshittification and churn that plagues the rest of the ecosystem
Pika OS has easy access to open and closed nvidia drivers. Though I bailed on mint, I did notice the drivers were 1 click away.
While the base of debina/arch might be pure, the distros that build on them do so to get porno filthy. apt+flatpack seems to work ok as update/install system.
I absolutely love that you describe PikaOS as porno filthy. No judgement, no defense, no argument, I just think it's a hilarious description while perfectly making your point, and is pretty much the best thing I've read today. Thank you!
And just to stay on-topic, yeah I've found flatpak invaluable in working around some of debian's unfortunate packaging limitations. I try to use the debian packages first if possible, but if the version is too old, not available, or has crappy dependency conflicts, flatpak to the rescue!
