Suggest me a distro

Hannah Montana Linux

EndeavourOS FTW

NixOS

I'm using Fedora and I'm really happy with it. Pretty solid distro,

I'm partial to Pop!_OS and their desktop environment.

Your PC can run any distro smoothly. What are you looking for that Mint doesn’t provide?

Try arch and you'll never distro hop again

TempleOS

NixOS NixOS NixOS NixOS

Debian stable but be careful though, you might never leave after using it for a while :)

There are some really mixed answers here. I would stick to the mainline distros and not go for a fork with a few customizations. It does depend on what you want, especially if you are willing to learn using the terminal and if you want bleeding edge or more stability. My list would be:

• Debian
• Kubuntu
• Fedora
• Pop!_OS
• Arch Linux (If you want to learn Linux from its fundamentals)

Pop!Os

Right now I would go with Debian. Newish release. Everything is up to date, and they are quite stable.

I moved to endeavours from Ubuntu and absolutely loving it. The arch back-end and simple management options are easy to use of you aren't afraid of the shell

Kubuntu

How about your own distro? https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/

Tipps Fedora

openSUSE Tumbleweed. Rolling and reliable.

Classic distro hop thread. Every distro is suggested. :)

I've been using Kubuntu on my gaming PC for a couple years, and Fedora on my laptop. They both work.

I'm running Debian 12 on an Intel i5-2500K (integrated graphics) with 16GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD and it runs smooth and rock solid.

I recently learned about TempleOS and it seems pretty fascinating. Maybe give it a whirl.

Pop!_OS

Fedora since Podman UI desktop came, for long term usage..

I like rolling distros so Arch if you're in the mood for some tinkering and really customizing your system the way your want it or openSUSE Tumbleweed if you'd rather have it up and running quicker with a premade polish.

INSTALL GENTOO

I started out with Mint but then tried out Ubuntu and now I'm using EndeavourOS on my laptop. So far EndeavourOS has been the best experience for me.

I love endeavourOS, can recommend

Arch Linux if you well speak with terminal, Artix if not, Gentoo if want some hard:) PopOS cool.

fedora, debian, sabayon

If you want to go for traditional distributions that don't have native rollback mechanisms, I would suggest using btrfs along with something like snapper.

I think the best way to decide is to fire up a bunch of VMs and install a distro on each. Going through the installation process for arch is a great way to start learning more about the OS IMO so if you're interested in that then that's a very beneficial thing to do anyway. I use Debian on my laptop and dual boot arch and Debian on my desktop. I've only ever used fedora for servers so I can't comment on how it serves as a daily driver. Here's a few distros I've used and recommend to try out. Debian Arch Manjaro ParrotOS(if you're into security) Centos

I installed Endeavour OS today and I'm liking it a lot.

The top 10 in Distrowatch. I don't even know which they are, but odds are that you'll find something good in it.

I somewhat recently ran across VanillaOS, which I have only really had time to install and play around with for a few minutes, but it seems really cool. A very brief overview is that it is a sort-of-but-not-really immutable OS that leans very heavily on containerization to allow you to install packages from any other distro in a seamless-to-the-user way. So you can install an application (cli or GUI) from an ubuntu repo and use it along side an application from an arch repo. It's ubuntu-based, but according to the info on that link, the next release switches to being debian-based.

I mostly use ChromeOS these days-- well, I guess technically I mostly use SteamOS these days-- so I don't have a lot of hands-on experience with VanillaOS, but I found the concept really cool and from a few minutes of playing around with it, it seemed to work pretty well with respect to the containerization stuff.

If you like Linux Mint, you might wanna try Feren, but it a bit bloated tho

openSUSE Leap

NixOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobara Linux. Fedora's better looking younger brother.

GhostBSD and Devuan

Have a look on distrowatch

Parabola

NixOS, makes it easy to have the same setup because it's all in one config file. I didn't check it out until last year when they released a graphical installer, now installing/using NixOS is a breeze.

Even if I didn't install NixOS, I'd use the Nix package manager (which is separate, but part of a NixOS system) since it has more packages than the AUR. It's easy to contribute to, so I've been maintaining a package.
