I stopped distro hopping pretty much after trying arch. I still love arch, but my new love is chimera Linux.
For servers I used to run Debian stable, but these days I’m pretty set on alpine.
don’t worry, when you get tired of distro-hopping, Debian will still be there for you
Is this your current driver?
yep, plain old boring Debian Stable with Xfce
Normally I go with Linux mint xfce which is practically the same currently using windows 10
If Linux Mint is practically the same as Debian, then most Distro’s are practically the same (which is actually true).
In my student years, I always ran with Xubuntu on a used thinkpad.
Although I’m a gnome guy these days, I still need Thunar as my default file manager. It’s nearly perfect…
Happy, Fedora Kinoite uBlue-main
In the process of making my own variant, but that is quite some effort
Have you checked out Aurora?
I regret ever having switched to the amateur distro that is Nobara bc I was too lazy to set up Feodra a 2nd time after the Grub fiasco Arch (and thus my daily driver back then EndeavourOS) had lol
Will switch the second OpenSuSu Slowroll becomes stable
I just switched to Nobara actually for my steamdeck and I was liking it a lot more than SteamOS but I was having some issues. (Ethernet just doesn’t show up, indexing with baloo doesn’t start)
Can you elaborate on why exactly it’s amateur?
It has no large community nor an organization behind it.
Leading to a lot of trouble for me personally, it’s the 2nd month now (after multiple updates) that my Gnome wayland desktop hasn’t been working properly at all (like xwayland programmes displaying as a blank transparency, me not being able to start certain ones) and switvhing to X11 works but it’s buddgy af and sometimes freezes for a few secondI suspect that it has been a problem with the nvidia driver after having updated it and I have never had those problems before
Don’t get me wrong Glorious Eggroll is doing good work but qa (due to size) leaves smth do be desired
So far I haven’t had any major issues whatsoever with MX running KDE, other than Vbox being the absolute worst to attempt to get working (which I still can’t). Otherwise, works fine enough for what I need.
I currently use endeavourOS and I am happy with it, due to it being “just Arch with some wallpapers and optional extras”.
I am open for more though, even if it’s just for trying out :)
Vanilla Arch w/ KDE plasma (I know)
It was a bit of a struggle at first but that’s what I signed up for. Very happy with the finished result.
(I know)
I don’t. What’s wrong with Plasma on Arch?
Nothing, just that ‘I use arch’ is a meme so overused that its cliche. Arch and plasma are great, hence why I use them
I’m still a beginner but Mint Cinnamon has treated me well, as has my Debian server.
Don’t see any reason to test anything else as long as it works this well. Nor do I have time after the kids came either…
@Blaze
100% of my venomlinux river systemI am 100% happy. I use a rolling distro, secure (firewall+apparmor), stable (snapshots tested through openQA) and easily revert to a previous snapshot (snapper). Yes, I am using openSUSE Tumbleweed and in my opinion there is no rolling distro that offers all these features.
I’m running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.
99% happy, once in a blue moon there is a library issue during an update, I have to wait a few days, that’s it.
Very solid KDE experience, all of the things I wanted to do worked out of the box. Very solid.
Debian and very. Sorry I strayed to Ubuntu for as long as I did.
We all make mistakes
I’m enjoying Linux Mint so far
I’m thinking I may hope around to a distro using a newer kernel but meh
Mint is pretty nice
I’m pretty sure Mint even has a graphical tool to install a newer kernel.
I’ve been rocking mint for about 4 months, it works for me.
My only issue with Mint Cinnamon is it doesn’t have badges for notifications on app icons. For example, when you get a Discord message.
It’s a really weird omission.
Happy lemmyversary!
Couldn’t be happier with Debian stable. Easiest year on my computer since I installed bookworm when it was released. There is a reason it is the basis of so many distros.
Using Debian Testing. Happy with it except with the fact it’s still on KDE plasma 5 :(
