The Void install was relatively easy, though maybe because I used the XFCE edition as I wanted that anyway.

That said, I’ve used Arch for 7+ years and am still using it on my main machine just can’t update. Give me a Polaris-or-better GPU and some faster internet and yeah it probably wouldn’t be an issue. I probably still would prefer slower+more stable updates (and ideally not just a specific time-window) though.

The last time I tried to use Flatpak for Krita, it had to download the Flatpak-specific nVidia driver which is my issue when it comes to internet speed again.

For me the legacy nVidia driver put on the AUR is a no-go. Even before that, non-fiber internet added friction to updating especially when I forgot about it for a while (or when manual intervention is needed).

I installed Void Linux on an old machine, I think updating might be more forgiving but the packaging system isn’t quite as good* and for some things I’d have to rely on appimages (I don’t want redundancy from Flatpak etc).

Tumbleweed/Slowroll might be a better answer if I didn’t hate Patterns.

* after adding some applications, already had to manually install missing dependencies, optional dependencies is also not handled

It’s not an issue with how you did the link, I can view that thread on my instance but not the thread’s host instance see last bit.

Though there is an answer to your question: assuming it stays up, lemmyverse. (use fediverse icon link, remove https bit and plug it in)

For example, your comment on that thread works as a link: https://lemmyverse.link/feddit.org/comment/14366386

The fediverse link I get from that thread (https://piefed.blahaj.zone/c/asklemmy/…) is just wrong for whatever reason? (even wrong on host instance!)

This works: long link, breaks if you shorten it
This also works: https://piefed.blahaj.zone/post/911357 (found via get-embed-code option, this is the sort of link my own posts get)

So non-comment thread link: https://lemmyverse.link/piefed.blahaj.zone/post/911357
