Same here. Yet I have question a metric tone of them. But I prefer to read manuals and forums to search for answers instead of creating a shit tone of posts with a questions that was already answered 5000 times.
Probably I will produce one hudge post with all my questions that I don’t find answers and then I go silent for a while.
Im in a process of gattering
- distro “knowledge”
- creating of quasi manuals of how to do things using distro specific cli tools
Hey do OM have its own set of distro specific cli tools except of rpm and dnf ?
As some one who dislike to use Gui tools for administrative tasks I dived in dnf manuals.
Yup I still don’t like dnf as a tool. But It is a basic tool in here so I just move one and use it
Anyway, it don’t matter how much i dislike dnf. I like a distro and people around it so im in /home.
for good.
PS. I will be more active elsewhere if:
1I learn my self dnf packaging
2 My system goes snafu
a. i will manege to repair it —> I’ll create manual how to solve an issue
b. I will be in a woods with the issue —> I will ask for directions
Have great day everybody.
I will STFU for now

Please don’t do that. 
It really makes it hard for the people helping to keep track of more than one issue per thread and it makes it harder to search for that help.

Damn! You right. Ok, so I will read manuals twice before I ask anything then .
Basically I would create manual **How to piss off everybody while you want to piss no one and make everybody life easier **
Fuuuuck

I am saying, ask questions. Just do it one per thread. Make it easier to help and search later. 
Let’s say you start a thread with 5 questions. One gets solved at a time. Each person has to read the whole thread to see which question has been solved and which have not. It is a nightmare, because the thread is naturally going to be 5 times as long.

Using linux about 30 years here - starting with Mandrake to Ubuntu to various other, now mainly on NixOS. I think OM is a fine distribution. My only gripe is small, but it is the lack of little apps I am used to using in other distros. Wallust or pywal? Nope. Yazi? Nope (Really?!). Ghostty? Nope (understandable, as it is quite new). A few others also - I had to either compile it from source or install the flatpak. Also, it seems KDE is kind of forced down your throat - would be nice to have other options from install. Other than those small gripes, it seems quite solid of a distro and I will keep playing with it on my secondary laptop.
@Phr0stByte1 what about open a ticket (Package request) here instead of complain and being surprised that you can’t find them in the repos? 
I really would not call it “complaining” - you didn’t quote where I said, “My only gripe is small”. The OP is about first impressions - just expressing mine. Being new to the distro, I didn’t even know where to make or how to make a request yet, so thanks for pointing that out.
Yes I did
Feedbacks always welcome. Thank you for that.
Being new to the distro
where to make or how to make a request yet, so thanks for pointing that out
You’re welcome.
Also, I looked at the package request form and you cannot request multiple packages at once. With the amount of packages I would be requesting, I am just unwilling to devote the time to requesting them individually, as I can compile or add them by flatpak faster. I also stress the fact that I was NOT complaining - just expressing first impressions.
The reasoning behind one application per requests is that they are logged in as individual tickets. One person can work on one request and close it when complete. Another person can work on a different one and close it when complete. It is simple and traceable.
If multiple applications were in one request, how would anyone know what was not started, in progress, completed, who was doing what? It would be a confusing way to do it.
“I am just unwilling to devote the time to requesting them individually,”
Do you realize how that sounds? People are not getting paid to do this, they are volunteers.

Oh, I know. Time is so precious.
I can perfectly understand that you can’t waste it filling out more than one application at a time.
The time others donate instead is not important.
I agree

??? I am talking about my time. I never said anything about anyone else’s time or eluded to how valuable their time was. Why such snark from you? Looking back at my comments, I don’t feel I said anything wrong. Is OM missing a lot of packages other distros have? Yes - Facts. If other people have the time and inclination to fill out multiple forms, great. Awesome. No one is forcing me to look at this distribution. I heard that is was a non-woke distro where the code and functionality was the focus regardless of politics. THAT is what prompted me to take a look at it. How far I go with it entirely depends on my over-all experience - including interactions on this forum. Don’t feel attacked when anyone says anything negative about the distro. I try my best form my wording as constructive criticism.

@Phr0stByte1 We don’t feel attacked by negative (argumented, not PEBKAC) feedbacks. Quite the contrary; we have the Issue Tracker for users to report and help us make the distro better and better.
Some people may feel hurted by individuals attitudes though.

Im not 30 years on linux. Im using it for 10 years continuously yet im in and out of linux for last 20 years or so.
Man you have just found time to write down 3 posts or so in conversation with a developer yet you do not have time to fill out few individual packages requests
You are 30 years on linux. Trust me preparing a solid package in any format takes more time then writing few requests. And source compilation is probably only a first step.
Yet you think that you sound like someone who does not devalue time of others.
Constructive criticism is one think audacity is the other.
I bold it out for you I am just unwilling to devote the time to requesting them individually, as I can compile or add them by flatpak faster.
Try this stunt on any bsd forum or channel, slackware or arch people. And it would be one of your last.
and @rugyada only makes fun of you a little
Why somebody have to take the time to build packages for ya if you do not have time to ask for them. Build them your self then

I have it running on my intel laptop atm, still trying to work out some kinks on my Nvidia desktops.
Currently have it installed onto an external USB 3.0 hard drive so I can try experimenting with it, without touching my working Arch install.
