Re: [darktable-user] Best distro for DT?

2016-08-16 Thread Bernhard 

I switched to Linux because of darktable 3 years ago.

I have been playing with Linux on a separate PC the years before so had 
some beginners expirience - but I am still far away from admin 
qualities. I used Debian from 2008 onwards and Fedora from 2012 (Debian 
had some freezes of the desktop on the changed Hardware on that PC).


For my desktop working PCs I decided to use Cinnamon Desktop and so 
naturally I tried Linux Mint. I'm happy with that - everything I needed 
to works fine, startup and install from a live DVD. I use LM17 which is 
a LTS version and thinking of upgrading to LM18 which is also LTS 
because of a GPS prog.


Newest Version of dt is available thanks to Pascal and his PPA.

??? quite easy to install ???

I like arch. You can say a lot of good about archlinux but easy to
install and to configure is not one of them.

If you want archlinux, you can use 'architect linux' to install
archlinux: https://sourceforge.net/projects/architect-linux/

Or if you want something more polished than anchlinux but still based
on archlinux, there is manjaro: https://manjaro.org/ This is the best
and most polished XFCE desktop.

Arch is my favourite distribution at the moment. It has a small core of
packages required to make a working system and then you can install
whatever else you want via the package management system.

It isn't oriented around a particular desktop environment like GNOME or KDE
so you can install one or the other, both or neither and go with something
lightweight instead. It has very recent versions of the desktop
environments, darktable and other popular software. The less popular
choices are available via a gentoo - like Arch Build System.

I didn't find it hard to install but I have quite a bit of Linux
experience. It is easier than gentoo but there is no installer. You boot
into a working Arch system and then follow an installation guide.

The documentation is good. There are beginner's and installation guides and
there is a specific guide to setting up dual boot with Windows both for EFI
and old - style BIOS.

Hi, I am the darktable co-maintainer on Fedora. I am actually
releasing updated packages as soon darktable developers release a new
version. Concerning Fedora, I could not find better words than
sections "Features" "First" of page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Foundations
If you want a Gnome based machine, download Fedora Workstation. If you
want to use another desktop environment like KDE Plasma, download the
Fedora (KDE) Spin.
You can find all of them into https://torrents.fedoraproject.org/

Have a nice day

Hi, 

well, I wouldn't say that Arch is easy to install, there's lots to read. But 
the docs (Wiki) are great, and using Arch, you tend to learn a lot more about 
Linux than with other distros, where you just look at something that doesn't 
work helplessly and don't know what to do. 

Yes, I'd wholeheartedly agree there's no better distro out there for desktop 
use, and it always quickly has the latest DT updates, but I'd also add that 
it's not easy for Linux beginners. 

OTOH, when I started using Linux in the mid-nineties, there was no distro that 
was easier than Arch is today, and I managed, too. 

So, if you expect Windows/Mac-like point-and-click-and-(hopefully)-works, don't 
use Arch. If you don't, definitely give it a try. 

Best regards, 

Christian
