If you are having issues and would like help, can you please open a new Topic in Support - OpenMandriva forum instead of hijacking this one?
Correct. We are not other distributions and we make the decisions we make for a reason. Your data, and your access to it is only your responsibility.
I don’t see how this helps your concerns get addressed.
Oh but it does! Trust, but verify. I fully understand that at this point there is no reasonable level of gurantee that every package in the base respositories actually work, making OMLx not to be relied on to ‘just work’, even fresh out of the box with no additional complexities like migrating existing user data.
Admittedly, that’s the nature of rolling release models like ROME, however with AppImageLauncher; bero kindly pointed out that it’s a known problem.
I’m really enjoying my journey so far. Before OMALx I was part of the crowd that avoided KDE and Flatpaks, but after diving in, I’m discovering that it’s really not bad at all. There’s a bit of a learning curve as with everything new and unfamiliar, but the distro is customizable and flexible enough that I can work around roadblocks with a little bit of initiative and creativity. I’m sure most of the new users are running in virtual machines, but I believe that if you don’t make the commitment and install it on bare metal, you’re more likely to dismiss it and go back to whatever you were using as soon as you find something in OMALx doesn’t work the way you expect it.
For me it’s less about the Lunduke thing now and more about having found a distro that fits with the way I like to work with my computers.
