openSUSE Tumbleweed. Rolling and reliable.

Nobara Linux. Fedora's better looking younger brother.

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

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

necrxfagivs ,

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

I like rolling distros so Arch if you’re in the mood for some tinkering and really customizing your system the way your want it or openSUSE Tumbleweed if you’d rather have it up and running quicker with a premade polish.

I’d also suggest Arch assuming one has patience for some tinkering. Getting familiar with the Arch Wiki and the other resources that exist is quite useful even with other distros! Not to mention the better understanding of the system gained simply by following the installation guide.

Even if one doesn’t stick with the distro, the things learned setting it up will be useful down the line as well. The experience would also be very different from Debian based things, so it could be fun for a distro hop!

There are some really mixed answers here. I would stick to the mainline distros and not go for a fork with a few customizations. It does depend on what you want, especially if you are willing to learn using the terminal and if you want bleeding edge or more stability. My list would be:

  • Debian
  • Kubuntu
  • Fedora
  • Pop!_OS
  • Arch Linux (If you want to learn Linux from its fundamentals)

Debian stable but be careful though, you might never leave after using it for a while :)

I started out with Mint but then tried out Ubuntu and now I'm using EndeavourOS on my laptop. So far EndeavourOS has been the best experience for me.

Try arch and you’ll never distro hop again

I can confirm that.

Tried to reconfigure some systemd services, switched to Artix (runit flavored btw)

Artix is definitely better than Arch. (using dinit flavor btw)

fabian_drinks_milk ,

I can’t confirm that (I distro hopped to NixOS) I can confirm that Arch is a solid distro worth learning and will give you the skills to manage it long-term. Compared to Arch based distros like Manjaro, EndeavorOS and Garuda where people tend to screw up their install easily when installing the wrong packages from the AUR and updating with dependency conflicts.

p5f20w18k ,
@p5f20w18k@lemmy.world avatar

I tried manjaro, it was a total mess after a few days of setting it up. Decided to just nuke it and go with arch and I’ve never looked back. Been 5 years now :)

How about your own distro? www.linuxfromscratch.org

Same. I installed Gentoo for several hours then downloaded Ubuntu

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

mvirts ,

Ah ha!

It uses low-level mechanisms from the Nix package manager, but packages are defined as native Guile module

Lol I am actually glad there aren’t two completely separate implementations… Now to install the hurd kernel…

fabian_drinks_milk ,

It’s great and I’m using it, but I don’t think someone coming from Linux Mint should use it right away. It can get quite complex even coming from Arch or Artix Linux.
