I donβt get distro hopping
There are better uses for your time
But hey, do as you want
Yeah at some point they are all the same to me it's just the different package manager. Pacman, apt, yum or whatever they are calling it now a days.
Most use systemd.
I started using Arch flavors because when you have brand new hardware the latest kernel can be important. After the machine is a couple years old it doesn't really matter.
Also Endeavouros is where it's at (but don't tell the vanilla Arch people, they won't help me with my problems if they find out)
If anyone is interested in something different, I could recommend Guix. No systemd. The package manager works different than your typical
apt.Agreed. After years of Ubuntu (who remember single digits?) Endeavour OS really knocked it out of the park on my new laptop. Everything smooth as butter, out of the box. Hibernation works on a bleeding edge device. No tearing. HDR works. VRR works. YouTube 4k 60fps no drops. Games run beautifully.
Okay, some BT issues, and the Wifi card is crap, and I don't know how much of this is due to having an AMD graphics vs NVIDIA. But it's sooo damn smooth. Games just work. KDE plasma >>>> gnome, and I say that as a gnome user since canonical killed unity.
Don't get me started on the arch ecosystem and documentation. yay π
Just do what you've been wanting to do for a long time
I switched from Ubuntu to Debian when I got pissed about something.
But itβs not a hop, more like a leisurely walk π
I think when you first get into Linux it's a valid thing. you want to find the distro that you're most comfortable with.
When I first started using linux I tried them all and eventually just settled on Arch because it felt right to me. That being said I don't knock anyone who uses whatever. A good friend of mine online uses Slackware and he loves it, it works for him. There's no "wrong" distro, it's whatever works for you. you have to initially hop around though to find that though.
Also distro hopping is great when it comes to helping people, especially new linux users. I've made many friends within the community because for a solid year I just hopped all over the place and tried to learn it all.
See the world, they said....
