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.

    Install manjaro

    Switch to arch repos

    Profit

    That’s what I did for a while and it was way more stable. Now I just use fedora cause I find it simple and easy out the box.

      The problem with that approach is that some packages on your system will likely be maintained by Manjaro and are not found in Arch, so when your system updates while that package does not, it can lead to breakage.

      Go the EndeavorOS route instead, if you want a graphical way a system you can easily convert to pure Arch.
