I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?
I have been using linux mint recently. I have used nixos and arch in the past. Personally, linux mint uses flatpacks too much for my liking. Although, I might have a warped perspective after using arch. (the aur is crazy big)
OS/2
Debian 12 Stable with GNOME
After having used Ubuntu LTS for 6 years, I find a little more peace with Debian. I do not like systems that break. Debian Stable is IMPOSSIBLY HARD to break, even more than Ubuntu LTS, which only broke once because of my stupidity of installing ProtonVPN client and using VPN killswitch through it. Switched to using OpenVPN/Wireguard config files.
Currently driving Fedora 39
Gentoo. Been using it for over 3 years now, and I haven’t found a reason to leave yet.
I just use the defaults for everything, haha! Just grub2 for the bootloader, openrc for the init system.
By “home” do you mean DE/WM? If so, I use dwm for my laptop and sway for my desktop.
I don’t even know what that stuff is, so I guess my answer is that I just don’t use it 🤷♂️
