Running Tumbleweed as daily driver. Which Debian do you use for your laptop? Never tried it, but the itch is there…

Because you expend less calories than you consume.

Back in early 2000s I ran Gentoo as daily driver for a year, while almost a Linux noob, but eager to learn. Installation instructions were long, but excellent.

It was fun, and worked well, but in the end the long compilation times got the better of me. Now I heard they are including binary packages, so the itch is coming back.

Right now running opensuse tumbleweed, which works fine, sometimes too smoothly.

Why not? OpenBSD on a Thinkpad was a very good experience until I needed bluetooth and some other things not supported at the time. Maybe not as fast as the more optimized Linux distros but good enough for me, and more things Just Worked than with most Linux distros I tried on the same machine.

Just wait until September… ;)
