What is your preferred daily driver distribution?

I’m also on Fedora and love it, but I’m thinking of switching to OpenMandriva ROME. OpenSUSE’s Tumbleweed is another option.

If you are a KDE user or are interested in it, I’ve been running KDE Neon for a few months and don’t plan on changing any time soon. Stable release, Ubuntu LTS based without the forced snaps (though snaps are in the repos if you want them), comes with the standard Ubuntu LTS repos and flatpak installed out of the box, with the one difference there being that it will update to the latest stable version of KDE software as it’s released. Basically a de-snapped Kubuntu LTS with all the latest KDE stuff. Works great for me.

I’m pretty happy on Ultramarine. Its like Fedora but with more repos by default, media drivers, more DE options, and a bunch of more reasonable defaults for daily all-purpose use.

Nixos. Can’t even fathom going back to anything after getting to grips with it

I use Manjaro but I might switch when CosmicDE launches on Pop!, especially if they get graphics switching working nicely on Wayland.

Neon right now i will try pop os when the new cosmic desktop drops

Has a release date been announced for cosmic?

Nah, it’s more of a “when it’s ready” type thing. You can see updates on their blog but by the looks, it’ll be another 6 months or so before a real release candidate is ready.

I recently Switched to Fedora Gnome and have been liking it.

Lot more user friendly than Mint imo.

Fedora (with Plasma) and I don’t plan on moving to another distro until something tangible happens. Switching my distro based on hypothetical situations would keep me from ever staying on any distro for very long.

That being said if I had to use another distro, I feel like I’d try out Debian stable, while using Flatpaks and Distrobox to get up-to-date software. That feels like it would be a good approximation of the excellent middleground that Fedora has.

Elementary It’s just like Mint but I had way less issues than with any other distros.

experimentmapass , 10 months ago

@bbsm3678 You should try TROMjaro, and all linux distros should take example from it.

Endeavour os with kde! Used to run manjaro and I think it’s a good stepping stone, so you know what you like and not, what to keep… For example, I didn’t know about oh my zhs and p10k, and if it wasn’t for manjaro I wouldn’t have know about that and owils be running the default bash console.

I use Debian with kde and its been great. Went from debian 11 to debian 12 without reinstall and then use void and devuan on my other computers and arch mobile on pinephone.
