I spent the last 10 mins reading all the comments and I think we managed to shit on all the distros available.
That’s the Linux community I love, good job people <3Arch, I want to get some work done not save 3 extra CPU cycles on boot.
I thought that’s gentoo.
Ubuntu.It’ went from a great beginner distro to a dumpster fire filled with snaps and telemetry.
Arch and any arch based distro. It’s overused, deb is better and the absolute chads will always be distros like NixOS or Guix System. There is no use for an unstable, beginner-unfriendly, distro where you constantly encounter dependency hell.
Of course I’m just being edgy, every Linux Distro is good for the sole fact of it not being Windows.
IDK, when it comes to gaming I find it much easier to install all the weird community patches via AUR vs other distros. I’m on PopOS right now, but if I wanted to reinstall I’d go with Manjaro.
It seems to be the best choice if you want the benefits of Arch but not have to install it manually, which I think is a needlessly difficult process. I wish they had a more bare bones version through. And I know about Arch’s autoinstall script. I’ve had bad luck with it.
Wouldn’t recommend Manjaro, if you install anything from the AUR, there’s a good chance your system will just refuse to boot after an update someday (speaking from personal experince btw). I’d go with EndeavourOS instead, which is also arch based and makes the install super easy.
I accept a certain level of volatility with my Linux experience. And I’ve not had any issues with AUR packages yet. I’ve been using a few Manjaro laptops for a while. But, that doesn’t mean that it can’t happen.
Manjaro, because because the team behind it fuck’s up a bit to often for my tastes. And Ubuntu, because they force snap onto their users.
