I'm seeing a few issues with Hugin running on FreeBSD. While I don't
think it has anything to do with FreeBSD, it would be nice to compare
its behaviour with what happens under Linux. What distro should I
choose?
I've been a Fedora user for almost as long as I remember, and regularly
test build hugin, enblend and darktable. All work with minimal problems.
One of the nice things about Fedora (these days) is the very nice
upgrade process they have for the new release every 6 or so months...
a great improvement over the old days. Other distros may be be as good
in this respect, but I only have experience with Fedora.
I've tried all three of these distros. I decided against Fedora, but
that was well over 10 years ago, so it's not relevant to modern
releases. I think that if I were to start using Linux again, I'd go
for Debian, but for casual use Ubuntu is close enough.
Ubuntu's easiest to install, I think.
Ubuntu has a very effective upgrade process, too, but I think it
only applies from LTS version to next LTS.
Not really the issue here: I just want to see if the problems I see
also occur under Linux. I'd be happy to reinstall every time.
Try under VirtualBox, maybe?
Debian - I run Debian Testing, so it's sort of like a rolling distro
to me. I think Debian Stable changes are possible now: a recent
Debian apt update displayed a message asking for permission to change
distro pointers to the new Testing. That *could* mean that a similar
pointer change with a clean/update/dist-upgrade might migrate an
installed Debian Stable to the new Stable.
In both cases, I'd make a partition image or an fsarchiver copy
before trying it.
Not a snapshot?
Not knowing what you mean by a snapshot... partition images.
