I agree, but I think something is already in the works, I'll check and probably make something practical to sync the two. It's not really a new app that's needed but a feature integrated into freetube/newpipe

Ublue is indeed fantastic tech, I don't deny that. For my own purposes, I would have to spend too much time curating my own custom OS if I used it, so I prefer Kalpa.

Snapshots are a lot more flexible. You can make any modifications to your system without issue. Layering packages on image based distros is slow and annoying, to the point UBlue OS was born out of that annoyance.

Speed of package managers did matter in my original search, because my workflow was to open my pc, update everything, reboot, start working. But with Kalpa snapshots, my updates are started in the background then silently and promptly applied on next reboot, I don't even have to think about it. It's like offline updates but without the wait.

This is the most annoying thing about TW. You gotta do "zypper dup --no-recommends"

It's easily the best in the series

I've been seeing this for a while, why do you put a cc notice on your comments?

You are lost, you use ventoy on a seperate usb. Then you can install whatever distro on your portable ssd. You can install multiple as long as your partition things well. It's not that difficult. You could have asked here instead of going on a rollercoaster of weird self-imposed problems.

Google is filled with blogspam nowadays. You should try any distro that has been released recently or rolling. I would recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed, it's quite easy to use. Try KDE while you're at it.

Did you really judge the current state of linux by using a 2 year old distro?

I use a very very minimal OpenSuse Tumbleweed KDE but I start the DE manually; startplasma-wayland or startx

I've been trying for a while, looking up other manifests helped me but I'm still lost on a few things. Maybe we could help each other. I am the creator of open-tv.

try a ublue os image
