Welp, I made a similar thread yesterday regarding Manjaro but I decided to swap to Fedora as my daily driver for stability purposes. Unfortunately since fedora is yet another non Debian distro I need help finding a Syncterm replacement.

I'm my previous thread it was pointed out to me that syncterm has a docker option which I can run on Fedora, but I'd prefer running an app locally if possible.

I tried the Syncterm snap package which boots inside bash, but it doesn't have ANSI support (which is the entire point of using Syncterm) since I assume it's simply piggy backing off of bash- hence the 1.5* review on the snap store.

Looking for options.. if anyone can help a Linux noob I'm all ears. I tried Alien to convert deb to rpm and fell on my face.

You should try Crystal Linux, it's Arch based, and it has the easiest installer ever.

I have been running CachyOs for some months and I really like it, it is a clean and fast distro based on arch with many DE. You could give it a try on a live usb at least.

I've been using Manjaro for 5+ years with no problem. Manjaro is a rolling distro, and unfortunately there is not enough volunteers in open source community to maintain a bleeding edge rolling distribution that is completely bug free. It is just a matter of personal preference how close to bleeding edge do you want your system to be between Arch, Manjaro, Endeavor, and OpenSUSE. I found that Manjaro is quite useful to have because I run non-FOSS programs like Dropbox, Zotero, MegaSYNC, and MATLAB.

One tips I have is that don't bother to update every other week. There are plenty literal supercomputers running on outdated Linux OS or stable distro releases like Fedora. Linux by default is already more secure. Just because there are updates available doesn't mean one should do it, unless you need the bleeding edge updates due to your line of work. I thought we install Linux to run away from annoying Windows updates. If you update Manjaro like every 6 months or so, it is pretty unlikely (statistically) that you get a bad update.

If you want to go back to something based on debian, consider PopOS!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
