Void linux became my second nature. It’s design is great, runit and xbps are just awesome. Can’t recomend more. P.S. I also switched to Void from Fedora

Linux Mint. Seriously, seriously good. Very fast, very light, looks amazing, has full access to all Ubuntu apps, runs Flatpak, is stable and solid. Sane defaults across the system.

Highly recommend it.

Bad for performance and gaming right?

LOL. old man.

mint mate is good for performance…

EndeavourOS with KDE customized to my liking.

POP!_OS is amazing. It started out as a way for System76 to create an Ubuntu operating system image that had all the latest packages that they would need for their hardware but then grew into something much bigger. They have a plan for Wayland with cosmic-epoch and they ship the latest kernel (6.4.6 as of writing) and latest Mesa. It’s solely responsible for killing my distro hopping (as well as having GNU Guix and Flatpak).

Watch this snippet on where POP!_OS came from (invidious link)

Vanilla ass Ubuntu. I spent 25 years finding the right distro, this is good enough. My first love was Mandrake.

OpenSuse leap

harl3k1n ,

blendOS because it gives you access to all the good stuff, including the AUR and even Android apps.

LeFantome ,

I have been meaning to give a BlendOS a try. VanillaOS as well ( though I kind of want to wait until they rebase on Debian ).

Zoop ,

Oooh, neat! I hadn’t heard of that. Thank you so much for sharing this! I look forward to trying it out. Exciting!!

Every time I try something different I always come back to arch + swaywm

Arch on everything with a screen. NixOS on everything without.

nestEggParrot ,

Whats a good way to start with nixos? Are there default configs to start from?

Everytime I go to the site to try I postpone for some reason, but mainly apprehension of deviating too mudh from debian base which has been my most used distros.

And how recommended is it to have nix package manager in popos or any debian based?

You could run a VM and plan to setup one service on it as an exercise. NixOS wiki is pretty ok in general, but it is a useful skill to read the code of the modules you use. Flakes are poorly documented and also controversial. So I wouldn’t hop on that yet.

fernandu00 ,

Switched from Ubuntu to fedora recently… I’m pretty happy with it and it’s package manager

For all the praise I give Debian, I still just run Kubuntu and call it a day.

It’s not that Debian’s particularly hard to install or set up (pretty quick and easy after you’ve done it enough times, though there is also the Live CD with Calamares for an easier install), and it’s honestly better than (*)Ubuntu in terms of official repos (at least Sid is), but I sometimes just find it simpler to install Kubuntu, unsnap it, remove apport, and get on with everything else.

Maybe I’ll go MX or something at some point and just enable systemd because I use it and out of the “anti-systemd” distros, it’s the most “hey, if you want to use systemd, no prob”.

Actually, for Debian, another good option is Spiral Linux. It’s basically just Debian, but with btrfs, snapshots, and zRAM all set up (from the same dude who does GeckoLinux, so very familiar with btrfs). Maybe once the new Bookworm-based ISO is up, I’ll switch over.

gunpachi ,

I have used Gecko in the past. I really liked it. I’ll be checking out spiral linux now. Thanks

secret301 ,

I wanna move to nix but my monkey brain can’t understand it. Might just take the plunge anyways

halo5 ,

Honestly, I just can’t get past the absolutely horrible logo. Right up there with TempleOS IMO…

Ashiette ,

Tried it, did not understand it (and had no use for immutable packages). Went back to Arch, never looked back.

Zatujit ,

Documentation is not enough good for me to care and I hate when there are multiple ways to do things, I still did not understand how I should install programs on NixOS

greyfrog ,

Used Arch for over 5 years. I don’t know if having a child changed me but I realised I’d lost a lot of time I had that I spent just fiddling with configs to get stufftpo my liking so went from Arch xmonad to PopOs and Gnome.

It has been stable and doesn’t have the snap bullshit that comes with Ubuntu.

wviana ,

You wouldn’t need too much config for arch and gnome.
