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

[-] samsy@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

I don't like what RedHat is actually doing, but yes Fedora is the successor.

Holy shit! *literally

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

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

[-] p5f20w18k@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Try arch and you'll never distro hop again

I can't confirm that (I distro hopped to NixOS) I can confirm that Arch is a solid distro worth learning and will give you the skills to manage it long-term. Compared to Arch based distros like Manjaro, EndeavorOS and Garuda where people tend to screw up their install easily when installing the wrong packages from the AUR and updating with dependency conflicts.

[-] p5f20w18k@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I tried manjaro, it was a total mess after a few days of setting it up. Decided to just nuke it and go with arch and I've never looked back. Been 5 years now :)

[-] Dirk@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I can confirm that.

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

[-] los_chill@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Pop!_OS is excellent. I came from Mac and Ubuntu and I have had an excellent experience. It can be as out-of-the-box or as customizable as you want. The support is superb. Everything works. Zero downside.

I haven't really used Pop!_OS! yet, but I am getting a System76 laptop so I'll definitely check it out. I hope they get their Cosmic desktop out soon so they can differentiate their distro more instead of being another fork with a few customizations and default apps.

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.

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)

openSUSE Tumbleweed. Rolling and reliable.

[-] Rambler@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

[-] KindaABigDyl@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] oldschoolnerd@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] tmjaea@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago
[-] zumi@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

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.

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

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
