Welp, I made a similar thread yesterday regarding Manjaro but I decided to swap to Fedora as my daily driver for stability purposes. Unfortunately since fedora is yet another non Debian distro I need help finding a Syncterm replacement.
I’m my previous thread it was pointed out to me that syncterm has a docker option which I can run on Fedora, but I’d prefer running an app locally if possible.
I tried the Syncterm snap package which boots inside bash, but it doesn’t have ANSI support (which is the entire point of using Syncterm) since I assume it’s simply piggy backing off of bash- hence the 1.5* review on the snap store.
Looking for options… if anyone can help a Linux noob I’m all ears. I tried Alien to convert deb to rpm and fell on my face.
Try to avoid flatpak; snap too. It’s got horrible validation and by ruining single source of truth on your installation state it actually craters that validation. It’s bad, and bad for you.
Don’t convert packages to packages: there’s too many literals in there that will cause problems. I sat on the FHS committee and I had such high hopes; but no.
Also, Manjaro’s fine. Maybe look at magaeia. Its polluted with systemd fridge art, but it’s maintained and fresh. It may have what you want.
Your recommending Mageaia? Seriously?
I would go with Linux mint, Fedora or something a little more mainstream
