Your PC can run any distro smoothly. What are you looking for that Mint doesn’t provide?

iopq ,

Personally, I'm looking for reproducible environments where if you create a lock file of your packages, you will get the exact same system on another machine if you copy it over

sudman ,

NixOS can do that.

iopq ,

That's why I'm on it :^)

moobythegoldensock ,

Maybe you would like an immutable distro such as Fedora Silverblue?

iopq ,

I'm already using NixOS, which is even more powerful since it can configure my software as well as my system

emhl ,

How about your own distro? www.linuxfromscratch.org

It exists for the clueless. Elite users use RebeccaBlackOS

I use nyarch btw

I think the best way to decide is to fire up a bunch of VMs and install a distro on each. Going through the installation process for arch is a great way to start learning more about the OS IMO so if you’re interested in that then that’s a very beneficial thing to do anyway. I use Debian on my laptop and dual boot arch and Debian on my desktop. I’ve only ever used fedora for servers so I can’t comment on how it serves as a daily driver. Here’s a few distros I’ve used and recommend to try out. Debian Arch Manjaro ParrotOS(if you’re into security) Centos

If you want to go for traditional distributions that don’t have native rollback mechanisms, I would suggest using btrfs along with something like snapper.

iopq ,

NixOS, makes it easy to have the same setup because it's all in one config file. I didn't check it out until last year when they released a graphical installer, now installing/using NixOS is a breeze.

Even if I didn't install NixOS, I'd use the Nix package manager (which is separate, but part of a NixOS system) since it has more packages than the AUR. It's easy to contribute to, so I've been maintaining a package.

Fedora since Podman UI desktop came, for long term usage…

Fedora

I love Podman and Fedora, but for some reason I can’t use podman UI :/ I’m not fond of it, but I love the cli :')

Yeah, it takes time I think since Podman UI is newcomer here. But the future seems promising, especially when Docker decision outraging many their users before. And of course as a Linux user, cli is the best option here for a moment…

I like podman because rootless capability. Red Hat teams already working hard to convince docker to accept their PR on the rootless, yet docker decline, and close the PR.

In the end, podman spin up, and it’s very very powerful, for local development, yet light…

rootless capability

That’s Podman primary feature right? still… privacy and security has a downside on convenience as far as many people critize, and I choose that features rather than easy implementing with no security system enhanced. Yet, the future still bluring on Redhat side when they more expand than competition. Do we will face same tragedy like Ubuntu / Docker aggresive decision in open source space again?

I don’t think so, as the team that works in podman are veteran in Industry since Red Hat inception, I don’t think they will do something stupid, unless that the management meddle too much…

Red Hat need more profit to grow… and they are protecting their interest with GPL rights that people never think off… soo… I won’t touch more than podman topic, he he he…

Never know about this, Thank you so much.

soo… I won’t touch more than podman topic, he he he…

Ha ha ha… ok, I understand…

I’m using Fedora and I’m really happy with it. Pretty solid distro,

samsy ,

I don’t like what RedHat is actually doing, but yes Fedora is the successor.

necrxfagivs ,

I’m not happy with RedHat neither. And Fedora 40 considering to add telemetry doesn’t help. I love Fedora tho, but if RHEL keeps heading the way is going I’ll hop to another distro.

Maybe is time to try Arch and embrace the meme (and learn, I’m a lil scared)

Holy shit! *literally

Nobara Linux. Fedora's better looking younger brother.

necrxfagivs ,

Why not using Fedora and customizing it yourself? What’s the advantage of Nobara over Fedora?

tricoro ,

Why not use Linux from scratch and customizing it yourself? What’s the advantage of a distro over Linux from scratch?

necrxfagivs ,

The only reason stated above my comment is that Nobara looks better than Fedora. I asked because I genuinely don’t know what’s in Nobara that is not in Fedora and why is better Nobara.

No need to be an ass, leave that for Reddit users.

tricoro ,

I wasn’t being an ass, I just jokingly pointed how a bit limited sighted your comment was: the way I see, a distro exists to save your time by already doing a pre-customization of the system for the user, even if it’s just comestic.

necrxfagivs ,

Oh sorry. I hate working early in the morning so I didn’t catch your tone!

Nobara uses optimized custom kernel

Oh that’s interesting. I use Fedora but will look into Nobara.

I recently learned about TempleOS and it seems pretty fascinating. Maybe give it a whirl.

fullmetal_leviathan ,

That's the kind of thing you install in virtual box and play around for an afternoon, not something to be installed in bare Linux

Classic distro hop thread. Every distro is suggested. :)

I’ve been using Kubuntu on my gaming PC for a couple years, and Fedora on my laptop. They both work.
