I labeled some of the lesser known logos. The criteria are arbitrary and I made this based on how much I liked using it.

Note that Fedora Sway Atomic isn't bad, but I had a bad experience because I was trying to install NIri on it and it clearly wasn't meant for that. Basically, it's just not for me.

I wanted to rank Manjaro low because I heard bad things about it, but I think I used it for like a few minutes because I wanted to try Gnome, and I didn't like Gnome after trying it and didn't want to deal with uninstalling all the Gnome stuff manually, so I just hopped to another distro.

I like the GeekOSDaw Audio packages (especially QJackCTL);

I prefer KDE Plasma over Cinnamon (I know you can use Mint with Plasma);

It's stable, reliable (apart from some issues with Nvidia drivers, though they've gotten less frequent and easier to fix), and up to date.

I probably could have tried more distros, but I'm perfectly happy with where I am and thus see no need to experiment all that much.

I've previously installed CachyOS on the PC I've now got Debian on, to use it as a guest Gaming PC, and that was fine as well.

I'm mostly using X11 since everything runs on it (I've got a 3-to-4 monitor setup - 3 normally, with a beamer I can additionaly connect). Wayland works well for the most part, too, but some things are more glitchy on it.

Also, i found it pretty nice to have a centralized control panel (Yast) for things I didn't/don't know how to do in the terminal yet.

A Point of friction: Printer Drivers didn't include the one we had when I installed Tumbleweed. Our roommate took the printer when he moved out, so it's irrelevant for now, but i'm thinking of getting a laser printer sometime.

    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
