I am seriously considering pulling the trigger on a switch to Linux. Looking for advice and discussion
In terms of hardware, what are some good cost effective resources and what what things might I want to consider differently than what I am used to in both the Mac and Windows worlds? I need smart home management, a plex hub, and photo editing, as well as the usual other stuff.
Debian may be good for company servers but not for many end users. It’s just too old and slow.
Not sure where you got the idea it was slow… but okay, keep using your perpetual half made Mint/Pop/Arch whatever. :P
What’s the issue with Pop? I’ve never had issues with it.
slow moving … updates … you roughly described it in your post. It stays where it is for a long time.
… which may be good for servers and companies and some people. Most people will prefer an up to date distro.
Just install your software using Flatpak and the latest with a reliable OS.
Agreed 👍🏻
Btw. I’m on atomic fedora. If I want I can roll back to the age of debian or the age of arch within minutes without bricking my system.
