My PC had been fine before the updates (hence not updating until I needed some other thing to work), and I'd never seen Search Indexer pop up in Task Manager in any notable way. something tells me that I might just have a broken version of it, and since Windows Update also looks to be a bit broken, I may just be SOL for the near future.
This set of problems may be obviated by actually getting Manjaro to cooperate. It's on the todo list.
- sjcoles 5y agoTry out Fedora! There's Fedora Rawhide if you want rolling release. I have been using Rawhide (+ mainline, non rc or git, kernel) on my work machine for the past 6 months without issue. If you have to compile a lot of kmods it can be a pain as everything is transitioning to GCC12 but the kernels are still built with GCC11. A container can take care of that though.
- cmeacham98 5y agoI really want to like Fedora - it gets so much right. But: `yum` is the worst package manager I have ever used on linux by far, and that sours the whole experience. I wish I could get "Fedora with pacman/apt instead".
- smoldesu 5y agoHm, maybe try using Nix alongside it?
- ubercow13 5y agodnf replaced yum I believe. dnf is certainly much nicer than pacman, it's slower but does a lot more to ensure your system actually works.
- blaser-waffle 5y agodnf is what replaced yum, and it's alright. yum is still aliased on most fedora / rhel systems so you can put Fedora 35 on a drive and run yum update -y and it'll kick off the associated dnf process.
- RedShift1 5y agoWhy is it the worst package manager?
- brimble 5y agoI haven't used it since ~2005, but at that time it was inexcusably slow. Notably, remarkably, shockingly slow. I would dread invoking it, it was so slow. 10x the time to do many operations, as apt/dpkg, and that's not an exaggeration. I assume that got better, though. I hope it did.
- dralley 5y agoThat "yum" no longer exists. dnf has a "yum" alias so that scripts still work, and a lot of the commands are named the same and accept the same arguments, but that's basically where the similarity ends. And yes DNF is much faster.
- dralley 5y agoFedora hasn't used "yum" in 7 years (although the alias still exists). I'm curious whether you've ever actually used Fedora.
