  • your choices only share a debian core, otherwise they couldn’t be more different from one another.

    netrunner is an opinionated debian base running kde on xlibre.

    vanilla is gnome, on a unique debian-based immutable. there will be a learning curve.

    personally, i think there are better choices for whatever is attracting you to these two… debian, kde, gnome, immutables…




  • Even on a long trip that 10 mph over is only going to gain a few minutes, and you’ve used more fuel.

    i’ve always ‘had more time than money’, and i’ve never had a car that was more fuel efficient at 70-80mph than at 50-60mph.

    we actually take the ‘2 laner’ into the city over the interstate specifically because there isn’t a bunch of morons doing 20+ over, weaving all over the place.













  • the default for some distributions these days is to apply updates on restarts (which produce win-like update progress screens) instead of ‘immediately’ (and leaving a kernel update hanging and waiting for one). it is also often a user-configurable option for handling updates.

    here’s fedora, as an example:

    and if you tell your linux to install updates ‘automatically’, they will come in… ya know, automatically… like windows. i’ve yet to see one ‘force’ a restart, though… like windows likes to do.
