    This may be an unpopular opinion, but for anything that doesn’t require a GUI, Ubuntu Server is my go-to. If I need a GUI, then it’s Windows. I’ve tried Linux on desktop dozens of times in the last 25 years or so, and there’s always something lacking. Most recently, RTX support in Steam. Meanwhile, I have Ubuntu servers with > 1 year of uptime, and it would have been more if not for an UPS failure. Right tool for the job IMO.

      100th comment! tbh, i totally get this. using the command line is much easier and a lot less “restricting” quote unquote than using GUI tools.

      I recently switched from Arch to Debian. So far am happy with my choice. I had used arch for about 4 years beforehand but I eventually had enough of flaky AUR packages and decided to just build what I need by hand.

        It’s mainly frustrating because the learning curve is steep for no reason. NixOS is not complicated at all in and of itself, but the documentation surrounding it is very, very difficult to make heads or tails of.

          Go to Chris Titus Tech, he has covered Nix in its entirety on how to use it. Preferable to documentation.

      I’m using Arch (btw) but I’m running NixOS in a VM to play around & learn it. It’s kind of wild, it’s not like any way I’m used to thinking about an OS at all, so I’m still wrapping my head around it. Super interesting though!

    Started using Ubuntu almost a decade ago, never felt the need to switch since then.

    I’ve been using Void as my daily driver on my desktop for about six years now, I can see myself ever switching. Also have used Solus, Arch, Endeavour, and OpenSuSe on my laptop during that time, which have all been good. But I still prefer Void, it just feels so natural to me now.

    Fedora KDE spin. I dunno how to feel about the recent announcement but from what I know, it shouldn’t affect Fedora itself.
