I also call it Tumbleweed as a shorthand. I'm especially happy that I was able to migrate the drive from my old 1050 Ti machine to my 7900 GRE build and it just works, secure boot and all. Updating from a 6-month snapshot is an amazing feat! I still have a June ISO sitting on my USB drive full of Linux ISOs and miscellaneous things but if I feel like installing it on another machine, I might still prefer a newer snapshot just to save myself some time. The only thing stopping me from putting it on my 3050 Ti laptop is how far behind the natively packaged drivers are so I would prefer the manual installation of them which I used to do on the 1050 Ti until the OpenSUSE mirrors overrode it because I didn't think to disable them. I mainly use Wayland so I've gotta have that explicit sync which 550 doesn't have. We're up to 565 now and I've noticed the performance over on CachyOS take a nosedive with that driver so I might play with mainline Arch or even Tumbleweed on the other drive in that machine. I know 550 is technically the stable driver and the Arch ecosystem is bleeding edge so it uses the beta drivers but flickers and jitters are annoying so I'd rather have the newer drivers.
I have my next test for tumbleweed set and ready to do, in between honey do list lol. Upgrading a Tumbleweed from April 2023. I'm confident it'll work, but not quite as confident as I was with the 6 month old snapshot.
I still run arch linux because of how fast it is on my laptop but my desktop I have moved over to tumbleweed because I kept having issues after updating on arch (I don't use my desktop every day so it doesn't update very often). it is great honestly, I have nothing but praise for tumbleweed
@@calleha01 I just remembered Tumbleweed has the open modules with the 560 drivers which my laptop could use because it's got a newer GPU. Perhaps I could put the gecko on there after all. I'm hoping the slowness is just a CachyOS thing and not a 565 thing which is ironic because it's touted as fast but I found it to have too much customization for its own good so stock Arch or Tumbleweed might be the answer. There was also a vulnerability discovered in older Nvidia drivers recently that affects both Windows and Linux so I think 560 is recent enough.
@@pip5528 yeah good luck with that honestly; I gave up on nvidia and swapped in an amd card many years ago cause I couldn't rely on the latest kernel always working with nvidia no matter the distro
@@calleha01 Turns out CachyOS fixed itself and I can't really explain how. I had put Tumbleweed on the other drive but then borked it because I had conflicting nvidia-utils and nvidia-settings so it would get stuck on the splash screen. That's completely my own fault but I would love to do some testing with the drivers Tumbleweed has since the laptop is much newer. I used to manually install 555.58 and 560 on Tumbleweed.

Tumbleweed really is the best.
I very much agree
@@TheLinuxCast Fancy seeing you here. It is pretty cool.
Yeah, this made me happy :)
Wow!, It's a Solid Rock!
