Why do you use the distro you use? (lemmy.world)

Title is quite self-explanatory, reason I wonder is because every now and then I think to myself "maybe distro X is good, maybe I should try it at some point", but then I think a bit more and realise it kind of doesn't make a difference - the only thing I feel kinda matters is rolling vs non-rolling release patterns.

My guiding principles when choosing distro are that I run arch on my desktop because it's what I'm used to (and AUR is nice to have), and Debian on servers because some people said it's good and I the non-rolling release gives me peace of mind that I don't have to update very often. But I could switch both of these out and I really don't think it would make a difference at all.

But devcontainers are kind of pushed as the way you “should” be writing code on Bluefin and it’s…. not great.

Both podman and docker are on the image, you could just use containers normally without using devcontainers if you want.

    Yes! This what I usually do. I will develop on the host using tools installed via Homebrew, then package/build/test via docker.

    And to be clear, I really love the ideas behind Bluefin and use it every day. I’ve just kind of given up on devcontainers, specifically.
