(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?
(Constructively) What is your least favorite distro & why?
I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit the mark for us because it can be very helpful.
So, I’d like to ask: What is your least favorite Linux distribution and why? Please remember, this is not about bashing or belittling any specific distribution. The aim is to have a constructive discussion where we can learn about each other’s experiences.
My personal least favorite is probably Manjaro.
Consider:
- What specific features/lack thereof made it less appealing?
- Did you face any specific challenges?
- How was your experience with the community?
- If given a chance, what improvements would you suggest?

Unpopular opinion :
- Arch, i installed it long ago so i can't remember anything except that i spent lot hours for its installation.
- Reason : spend a lot time reading the wiki without an easy installer...even Ubuntu was better but i wanted a challenge and a better uderstanding on linux.
- Some AUR package didn't work.
- Why Arch ? To get the lastest os and package as i had a recent gaming laptop.
So I changed and prefered manjaro with its ui for linux os, graphic card...but some thing were broken...than i settled Pop-Os for 3 years and distrohopped again for immutable os : Vanilla OS and Fedora Kinoite. :)
Another distro :
- Ubuntu
- reason : snap and various decisions.
I enjoyed arch for how straight forward the install was.
Gentoo however, every time I do that from scratch it’s with X, Westland is NetworkManager that give up (my recommendation is oddlamma installer)
Yeah Arch is straight forward but is require an amazing amount of focus and concentration. :)
I should try gentoo as my next challenge, i guess i won't like it but in fact, i enjoy those challenge and trying new stuff. ^^
You need to learn how bullets work, my friend.
Bullets in markdown ?
* like this ? * or like that ?As in what does it mean to itemize. In this case to make an unordered list.
Sorry, my english comprehension is rusty. It is an unordered list. I used it to improve readibility on phone and separate topics.
If the topic is mixed in a paragraphe i would have a harder time to quickly retrieve informations. Here you can read Arch and ubuntu and why in a single glance.
