Re: [LAU] KXStudio as the regular distro ?

Hi, unlikely that somebody could answer your question with just yes or no. Consider to install and maintain 2 or 3 different Linux distros on the same machine for a while. Depending to your needs and your knowledge about Linux, you'll find out what distro fits best to your needs. What is a regular Linux user space set-up for all-purpose? For my needs the defaults of so called user-friendly distros are for no purpose. Ubuntu flavours and perhaps Ubuntu derivatives (usually) auto-start everything that could be auto-started by default and by default they install not all, but many optional dependencies. This is considered as being user friendly, because this way everything seems to work automagically. The drawback of this approach is that nothing is optimised. You might call this a distro for all-purpose, I call it a distro for no purpose. Distros based on another distro, that mix their own repositories with the repositories of the distro they are build upon, could cause serious issues, but not necessarily need to cause any issue. Shared libraries (soname) issues could cause dependency inconsistencies, but there not necessarily must be such issues. Run several Linux installs on the same machine. In the long term maintaining several distros might be to time consuming, but for a while it IMO is worth the hassle to maintain several Linux installs. Regards, Ralf
