  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    If you're new to linux, I would recommend something that would work out of the box and which would be user-friendly, like Bazzite (gaming oriented) or Manjaro (User-friendly arch-based distro, with GUI for app management, drivers management etc). Lots of people will recommend Linux Mint and that is not a bad entry point as well.

    Note that linux works generally better with AMD GPUs, but Nvidia hardware is coming around more and more.

    Currently loving Ultramarine on my laptop and Chromebook/Chrultrabook. Use Bazzite on the gaming PC.

    It starts to feel a bit like going to university. Maybe 10% of the ones you try out will be total misses, maybe even discourage you on the search. But chances are, 90% of the options are perfectly suitable for your uses, and everyone will end up feeling a bit of faithful loyalty to their destination of choice.

    That entirely depends on what you're using it for. I personally use ZorinOS as my daily driver because it's easy to use, based on Ubuntu, and I like the interface.

    If you're using the PC for gaming, go with Nobara. It's based on Fedora and has built-in support for Nvidia.

    Pop OS. I don't even like Mac OS but Pop just feels so good! I've used it on 3 different computers now without problems. Ubuntu tutorials usually work if you need to tweak something. Only downside is it's a private company, but it's released free and is well supported.

    I'm using openSUSE Tumbleweed with Gnome as of now, but plan on switching to Fedora on my next laptop. I would continue using Tumbleweed if it were not for that every 5 system updates (zypper dup) or so Konsole and some 20 other related k-packages gets automatically installed for some reason. This started happening like 1 year ago and the only solutions I were able to find were just to keep removing (zypper rm -u) it every time or just lock (zypper addlock) it.

    Slackware stopped my distro-hop.

    I've heard a lot of good things about Zorin OS.

    I hopped around a lot, but finally settled on openSUSE Tumbleweed.
