[EN] best distribution ever
« on: 2024/11/04, 10:50:45 »
Hello,

I did play with siduction on my old desktop machine and old netbook, which had/has some booting-related problems.

In September, I bought a new Tuxedo Infinity laptop as a desktop replacement and replaced Tuxedo OS with openSUSE Tumbleweed. Tried using it with GNOME, KDE and Xfce, but always was something missing or not working properly. Most of the issues were related to properly configure my laptop connected to an external display via docking station…

I'm using Linux (started with S.u.S.E) back in 1999 after finally abandoning OS2 ship. Spent time with Gentoo, Arch…a bit of Fedora etc. but then spent most of the time with Debian/Xfce - mostly using Sid.

So, I thought to give siduction another try...Few times I tried with "stable" (bookworM), was always missing some app not available via backports. Otoh, it is great to have rollback support when using Sid and I like Debian.  Now, everything working flawlessly...I'll post about a few glitches in other posts - I can login to my machine from DM (SDDM) by using an external monitor, which was not possible under Tumbleweed (GDM, LightDM, SDDM).

All in all, kudos to siduction devs - it's the best Linux experience ever!!!

I wish to receive your blessing to end my distro hopping, stay with siduction and possibly give something back in return,.


Sincerely,
Gour

Edit:
I've installed siduction/xfce from the latest image.

You are welcome Gour, I have been with this gang since  some of them worked with Kano(tix), if I remember right. It's many years since I even tried another distro, why change when you use the best?

Thanks for the praise and on the good decision to buy a TUXEDO laptop. Full disclosure: three of us work for TUXEDO Computers.

I'm from Croatia and in case of some problem would have to fiddle with shipping to foreign country, but still, wanted to support Linux company!

Glad to hear you work for TUXEDO and another good reason to stay with Siduction...just save some work and rebase TUXEDO OS to SIduction.  ::)

Interesting to read.
I thought about buying a new convertible. The InfityFlex 14 looks really nice, especially with it's non-reflecting display. Enough ports and a fair price. Unfortunately the build in processor is not my cup of tea and no upgrade to my actual three years old convertible with a Ryzen 5600U.

The InfinityBook Pro 14 - Gen9 - AMD on the other hand has really everything I need. Powerful, a long lasting battery and yet lightweight. But it lacks the for me important Touchscreen (I'm a hobby photographer and artist).

So at the moment I decided to postpone my decision for some month. Anyway I'm impressed, that there are nowadays such great offers for Linux hardware.
