What are people daily driving these days?
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)

Gentoo. Been using it for over 3 years now, and I haven't found a reason to leave yet.
What systems do you use? I mean boot, init, home and all of that...
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 meant alternatives to systemd-homed, systemd-machined and the likes. Since I'm on NixOS, I'm restricted to most of the systemd stuff. I'm not even sure if I need all of them.
I don't even know what that stuff is, so I guess my answer is that I just don't use it 🤷‍♂️
Now I'm being dragged into the anti-systemd ideology. I have a bunch of CLI utility that I have never ever touched since the three years I've been on Linux. I just came across
homectl,machinectlandtimedatectl, and I'm convinced that the part about "bloat" does make a lot of sense now.I don't really care either way. I like things to be more minimal, but I'm not really anti-systemd or anything like that. I've just been using openrc for a few years now, and haven't used systemd enough to learn about the homed stuff I guess
