I wish Debian had a version with more recent software that is suitable for regular use. I know many people use Testing and Sid, but Testing often has delayed security updates and it’s not unusual for Sid to break. And both get weird around the freeze for the next release. It would be great if there was a version like Tumbleweed that was constantly rolling and received automated testing to prevent many of the problems Unstable experiences.

I currently use Tumbleweed on my computers and Debian on my servers, but I would love to use Debian on everything.

Bring back Linux Mint KDE

id have nobara go back to Firefox as default browser, or at least a chromium that's a little more palletable like Vivaldi or something. heck even a checkbox at installation asking which browser to install would be fine, anything but stock Google chrome

edit: just double checked and it looks like nobara uses chromium not chrome, my bad

artix: adding arch repos to artix results in bunch of package issues, after using it for a while it gets to a point where you have to specify 50+ --assume-installed flags just to Syyu

i switched to arch just because of this

Alpine linux but with layers just like Fedora Silverblue

Manjaro: someone diarize the fucking SSL renewal date, please.

I wish for a default freeworld fedora.

For me Fedora only needs to speed up the dnf and update the installer.

Can we get a free software only version of every distro? That's what I want.

The distro itself? Idk I usually just write an ansible playbook to get everything to my liking. Run it once on a new install and everything is good.

more packages; open suse tumbleweed

I would like Debian and the fsf to come to some kind of agreement so Debian can ship the emacs documentation.

I'd like Gentoo ebuilds to run in a fully isolated namespace/container with only the dependencies explicitly enabled by portage configuration. Something like a mix of nix but with the ebuild syntax.

For Alpine Linux:

• support a different process supervisor
  • dinit, or
  • s6 with some high level sugar
• add something like the AUR

Fedora Silverblue.

I want to be able to play YouTube videos in Firefox. And video files on desktop. Layering on rpmfusion didn't help. And why will videos play in Gnome Web but not Firefox ugh.

Fedora user here. A great improvement would simply be shipping unmodified (non "freeworld") versions of mesa packages in the official repositories, so you don't have to install them from rpmfusion, as they are often a few days behind with their mesa package upgrades, which leads to conflicts/issues in the dnf update process.

Bring back the old xpenguins and xsnow packages in Debian.

I would make Debian and Arch be deterministic like NixOS, but with a different language and less overhead. I really like the principle but the implementation is subpar.
