@lain FF 2 months from now when something breaks because you didn't update frequently enough.

@hakui @lain I think you want two incompatible things. Play games and almost never update.

@hakui @lain In reality you don't need to update Arch that often. Once a month is probably enough. But the distro you want doesn't really exist. Closest to that would be Fedora, but that has its own weird brain worms.

@hakui @lain Or maybe OpenSUS Tumbleweed if you can handle a G*rman distro.

@hakui @lain SELinux being paranoid (you can disable it at least), non-free stuff outside of repos and in rpmfussion, and their love for flatpaks.

@romin @lain @hakui Right, I forgot hakui isn't good with computers. Mint would be a great option then.

@hakui @lain @romin It's Ubuntu LTS so once every 5 years or so.

@i @phnt @lain @hakui yeah that's pretty much my experience with arch. Works fine so long as you remember to not update packages individually.

@dorkvalized @hakui Yeah, new enough Vulkan and kernel GPU drivers are mostly the only reasons why you wouldn't want to run Steam on something like Ubuntu LTS. DirectX does not work on Linux, so your only option is Vulkan (almost nothing supports OpenGL).

@snacks @lain @hakui Firefox is a flatpak on Fedora I think and Libre office as well.

@twinspin6 @lain @snacks @hakui Interesting, they really wanted to get rid of these two rpms because they were "too difficult to maintain".
