Wow. That name brought some memories
Looking at wiki
a rolling release
Initial release November 22, 2013So it seems it’s rather mature distro and since it’s rolling release, it should be rather up-to-date, without reinstalling every half a year
I’m not sure where to browse the official package list, but loooking at pkgs.org:
- Lx 5.0 looks outdated. Wine version on it is 8.20 (current stable release is 9.22)
- Rolling, on the other hand, might be too on the edge. It has wine 10, which is release-candidate, not stable yet
But maybe I’m missing something in how the distro manages versions
The rolling one is definitely worth trying, IMO
People reinstall?
I’ve moved to rolling release distros long time ago, I don’t know what is the current situation. But back then reinstalling was the less painful way of updating point release distros. Because the old one was version locked for so much time, one had to spend a lot of time and effort to migrate to a newer release, figure out what replaces what etc
I must be doing something wrong with my 15 years old Debian installation, then.
What do you do when you update the release point? You don’t suddenly discover that alsa is a thing of the past and half of the system migrated to pulse now? That a distro package for light http or socks or some other niche is discontinued and now you have to migrate to another software? And you can’t approach those one at a time, as in a new installation or rolling release, either you migrate or you don’t?
Those were my observations
