I remember using Conectiva Linux in Brazil. Also tried Kurumin Linux, both Brazilian distros. The biggest pain I recall from these years was to make a modem work and I ended up buying an expensive US Robotics, which worked like a charm.

Distrobox is a god send tool for using AUR stuff in any distro.

I think you'll like an editor called micro.

Zoxide and cd down. ;)

There are other reasons, but if I had to point only one word: containers.

Yes, I use Debian and Pacstall works well on it. From their Wiki, you can see that you can target incompatible versions if applicable - I saw it in one app, incompatible with Bullseye but compatible with Bookworm and Ubuntu (maybe git-delta, if I remember well). Also, I have a small contribution to the project as well.

I use Debian and was using Arch in a Distrobox to have some AUR apps (PyCharm, DBeaver, Pulsar Editor and a few more). It's nice and I recomend you to try and have fun with it. Undoubtedly, Distrobox is a game changer - however, I believe it's a better tool to set a development environment, with the distro and packages used in the production environment. Nowadays, just to install random software on Debian, I've been using Pacstall - try it as well. In the end, I think it integrates better. For example, if I click on a link in a Markdown doc in Pulsar in a box, either it will not open the link if I don't have another browser within the box or I'll have to implement a workaround to open the host's browser.

Minnie: Mickey, are you f_cking crazy?

Mickey: No, I'm f_cking Daisy.

Thank you for confirming!

Thank you for confirming!

I'm using flatpak extensively but I'm looking for faster start-up times. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.
