Considering switching away from Fedora and to another distribution. Does anyone have any suggestions for distributions I should consider?

    Switched from Ubuntu to fedora recently… I’m pretty happy with it and it’s package manager

    Debian + GNOME.

    Historically I’ve been a huge fan of Ubuntu, but I just can’t tolerate Snap any more and started moving away from Ubuntu in general.

    I need to settle on one for a bit. I like Fedora for it’s edge stability and embracing newer secure technology. But, I will be shifting to Debian 12 or Ubuntu LTS because I need to get real work done. I like Pop and Mint, but they don’t have secure boot which I desire.

    I’ll probably enjoy arch when I get the time to play with it more.

    Linux Mint: Debian Edition. After watching a YouTube review I decided to take a break from Arch and give it a try, I’d always like Cinnamon, and I really like this.

    EndeavourOS, it just works really well and never breaks. The only time I had an issue was when I was using the Zen kernel and it locked up installing league of legends and watching a YouTube video at the same time. Using the mainline kernel though gives me no issues.

    I’m old too :-/

    • CP/M
    • DOS
    • Windows3, 95, 98
    • BeOS
    • some Debian and Mandrake
    • Windows XP
    • Ubuntu (a long time)
    • Mint/Cinnamon (I hated it, it was quick, maybe a year)
    • MX/Xfce (since ~2016)

    I may try Arch on a old laptop just to play with it.----

    Everyone immediately want you to use their distribution of choice. However no-one can really answer this unless you include more information about yourself and your Linux experience, objectives, what kind of tinkering you’re comfortable with, what you expectations are, etc.

    Arch on my main pc, and Ubuntu on my server, only reason it’s Ubuntu is I needed 6.2 kernel for my Intel arc encoding card and debian based for the arrs

    I only use Arch, it’s really stable and easy to fix if something goes wrong thanks to the excellent arch wiki.

    But I recommend PopOS for anyone who just wants something good looking and stable and who doesn’t need the latest packages all the time.

        I use Arch default. Stay away from Manjaro… If you want to try arch with a good installer, try https://endeavouros.com/.

        Its really just arch with a nice installer and a friendly community where you can ask questions. It’s specifically designed for that purpose.

    Arch.

    People think it’s really challenging and brittle, but everything seems to always work no matter how often I update (or don’t) and the wiki is top notch.

    I actually chose arch initially because when you go to forums to troubleshoot problems there is always an ubuntu answer and an arch answer, and the arch answer is almost always shorter.

    I’m considering to switch from Fedora to Debian stable with Flatpaks for the available apps (more up-to-date and more isolated).

    But I’m also considering NixOS atm

    Arch Linux

    Reasons:

    • Pacman
    • the AUR
    • community driven
    • bleeding edge
    • pragmatic stance regarding closed source software
    • sane defaults
    • minimalism, build your own without too much compiling
    • the wiki
