Journal GeckoFood's Journal: [linux] BlueStar Linux 5
Yes, I'm still here. Yes, I know hardly anyone will read this. No, I don't especially care.
Recently I decided to change Linux disctributions on my main system and I installed BlueStar. It is an Arch-based distro which is a new experience for me; I have been using RedHat-based distros for ages, specifically Scientific. I wanted to try something new, and I ended up on BlueStar based on the reputation of Arch and based on a few reviews.
Wow. Wish I had done this years ago. It's faster, it has a better layout, its package manager works well even though it's a little strange, and it runs my VMs just fine. I can run either CentOS or Scientific in a VM so I can still keep up with certification, but I think BlueStar is my new primary distro of choice.
I don't know if I will post more here or not. I need an outlet, and I have not found a social media platform that works for me.

But the burn is so good.

Never bothered with Twitter. Seems like a great way to give everyone microstatus, but not useful for much else.

It's a LOT like the circle, in the long run...
Arch (Score:2)
I like Arch based distros because those people are the ones who provide the KDE help I need when I google issues. :)
I'm running Fedora, have been forever so I doubt I'll change unless something crazy happens but since I don't use the default DE - it seems the Arch folks are always the ones who have my answers. So I appreciate them even if I don't use it.

I tried Fedora but I gave up on it when it repeatedly kernel-panicked on me. Wasn't fair, though - I was attempting to run it on a Sony laptop and Sony is notoriously Linux-unfriendly.
Bluestar is my first experience with Arch-based Linux. So far, so good...
