road to 100% comfy setup

Oh and I forgot:
I want to sync my files from uni between my laptop and desktop. Is there any better way than Dropbox? Pushing ALL documents through git seems a bit clunky and is not as seamless. Dropbox has never failed me up until now

benefit from arch, nice package manager and the air. benefit from gentoo, slightly faster due to source based packages instead of binaries but more hassle. if you like apt just use it people stress the differences between Linux distros way too much

if you're working on a project git is literally the most useful thing, and if you think its clunky you're a retard.

if its just documents and other files why not just use a flash drive?

>>61716226
If you're gonna go minimal, go with Debian testing. Don't listen to autistic Arch Linux users.

When working on a project, yes, then for sure git is the better solution

Dunno really, just does not """feel""" right. Maybe I should get used to that. Dunno. I'll think about it

any way is better than this spyware shit

All the kool kids are using GuixSD.
But I would stick to Ubuntu minimal and would build it to my liking from there.
In my experience, Arch is an attention whore with it's update. I mean, I enjoy a good old update as much as the other guy but when you actually have something to do constant updates are annoying

Why testing? What's it's profit? Newer packages, if I got that right, r-r-rite?

It's good if you like getting your hands dirty and learning about how to work your computer. The 'actual benefit', concretely speaking, is definitely not worth the effort if you don't enjoy the actual doing part.

There's no need for a minimal install, even. Just install xubuntu and start deleting everything you don't need.

if that would actually be true...

>syncthing
wow, never heard of this. rsync+cron was in fact not very comfy for me (prolly ony because I havent used it much yet). Will try that. Thanks!

Feels like installing minimal and working my way up or removing everything is kind of the same effort. Except that wiith working my way up I can't forget to delete stuff that I dont need at all
