Anyone installing on Nitrux
-
Any of you knows what's the best method for not messing up the installation on Nitrux? What problems could arise later?
I have Nitrux OS fresh installed for the first time, was going to install the .deb... and there's not even apt, everything is mainly oriented to AppImage here, and it doesn't seem to work right now. Flapjacks? what?. There'll be more options that I don't know yet, but I don't understand this system and I smell trouble... serves me well for not knowing about the ways of this distro before I chose it.
Thanks!

@delbruck Nitrux = Debian + KDE?
Then here will not be a problem. I use Debian 11 and 12 with KDE.
You can not usedpkgto install a deb package?
Oh, i see Nitruxians went crazy: https://nxos.org/tutorial/software-management/ -
That's the first thing I tried. I can't, Nitrux has made a thing of not having a package manager and orient the user to do other things, that I don't know already.
Don't worry, I'll learn from the documentation, I was asking in case any of you has gone through the same situation. Thanks.

I see you updated with the piece of info I discovered AFTER installing. Serves me well. XD
-
@delbruck I am sorry, i never expected that they will not use any repos and apt or dpkg for installing. For me that is a extremists distribution.
-
You have nothing to apologize for! It's entirely my fault. I might switch to another distro.
-
@delbruck Are you a linux beginner? If yes, consider using Linux Mint (in the first place) or Ubuntu.
If not, you seem to be friend of checking out exotic or special distros? -
@Dancer18 It's been more than 10 years since I dabbled with Linux, I guess I'm a newbie again, I barely remember any of it.
I was going to install Mint for its low hardware requirements, but a friend told me it wasn't as stable as he'd like, he lost some data and didn't recommend it.On a quick search I noticed Nitrux and didn't read enough about it. The unmutable root seemed like a nice idea, but I didn't expect it to be so different.
I guess I'll give it a week (in case we're misjudging Nitrux) and then I'll try Mint or Ubuntu.
Thank you!

@Catweazle I'm taking note. Thank you!
-
@delbruck Same with me. Years ago I had some trouble with hardware on Linux.
Today Linux Mint is very stable and I just love it.
However, I have reason to stay at 20.3 version instead of the new 20.1 that obviously suffers with quite an amount of issues. So I would recommend 20.3.
(On my laptop I'm running the new version without problems though.) -
Writing this reply on Vivaldi installed on Q4OS, everything looking good. Thanks to all of you!
