If beginner, use PopOS.

If Linux nerd, use Arch.

That's my guide. I don't like any other distros. :)

I started with Ubuntu and then migrated to Arch. I learned a ton about Linux and how tune everything for optimal performance!

...And then I went back to Ubuntu because I just want to work with my computer, not on it.

Yeah many people say that but Ubuntu is not very good in my opinion. Outdated packages, snaps, commercials in the installer and so on. I would pick PopOS any day over that myself. But it's because I'm really sensitive to those things.

[-] swordsmanluke@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I honestly agree that Ubuntu is getting worse. For better or worse though, it's a base that I'm familiar with. I end up customizing and tweaking it, but I've automated enough of that to where I can just run a few scripts on a fresh install and be back up and running.

Basically, I built myself a shittier, highly specific version of Nix in self-defence. ๐Ÿ˜

It really is the best system for new people using Linux. Everything is so smooth and nice. Looking forward to the new cosmos desktop that is coming. :)

What about using Nobara for a guy who used Linux Mint and PopOS! ?

Dumb move?

[-] mrmanager@lemmy.today 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

No, absolutely not dumb at all. I have tried almost all Linux distros myself over the years, and ran them for a while. It's fun. And maybe you like this one and stick with it.

Either way you will learn new things just by trying it.

Great! I'm looking forward to testing it, seem a great distro that comes with many Linux gaming stuff ready. I just wanna check if it is that good, cos I was impressed once I read it's only one guy maintaining this whole project
