  • I like your writing style. Very interesting read.

    I’m a casual Linux user. I’ve been in and out of Linux over the last 20 years and I never did a full daily Linux driver. Now I see Steam with the Steam deck and all the development around game compatibility with Linux and I’d like to dive a bit deeper in Linux. I’ve touched the old Mandrake, Open Suse (back then around 2004-2005), Ubuntu, raspbian, Mint etc.

    I was never able to find something that would work over time. At some point Ubuntu would install a big upgrade and I’ve read only recently that upgrading to another major milestone is not recommended. It’s recommended to do a fresh install.

    I don’t mind doing a fresh install, what I dislike is having to config everything again. I like that everything is customizable but the problem I have is when I dive deeply in customization, I mostly forget what I did, because I only did it once.

    Is there any way or any distro that would let me make major upgrade or fresh install without losing all melt settings?
