      Kinoite Ride or die

      FOR ME it does the things I need it to do; and it works; and hasn’t blown up my house yet so 🤞

      From the bottom of my heart fuck rolling releases. Never worked for me (nobody get worked up please, ymmv).

        lol it’s funny how proactively defensive everyone is about their distro choices

        I use a Mac for my server 🤓

      I’ve been living with fedora (ultramarine) kde for a while now because people praised fedora so much, but i think mint still wins. and i chose ultramarine because am a noob, don’t sue me.

      there are many little things that just don’t work and i seriously can’t figure out. here’s a few: discover fails to update the system and i always have to do it manually from the terminal. wine is broken, it literally can’t run anything i throw at it that worked on mint. plasma theme customization is somewhat broken (also custom themes prevent updating…). using alt key in games run with wine causes some annoying notification sound (not in system keyboard shortcuts). often keyboard leds stay on when system suspended, system can’t be woken up from keyboard. can’t use flameshot with kb shortcut.

      this isn’t a hate comment though, a lot of things are better than i had with mint cinnamon. i do like how it’s a lot faster than mint when under heavy load, autosuspend actually works, no issues with screen not waking up. currently my media pc with mint can’t update because all sources are unavailable and it has some conflict with python3 which it won’t let me uninstall (which i suspect would be unwise, idk)

        I can only recommend regular Fedora because I have a feeling you just wouldn’t have those issues but I am not a doctor.

      This is literally my only problem with mint. I just boot into kubuntu whenever I want to watch something in HDR.

      Unironically my most headache-free Linux experience in 10+ years. The handful of times an update doesn’t go through you just need to visit the homepage and follow the manual intervention steps outlined in the announcement.

      At least, once I freed myself from Nvidia x)

        I know CachyOS, at least, shows recent Arch announcements during the update process before installing anything. Unfortunately there’s been a recurring DDoS attack on Arch’s servers for months, so this check tends to fail and you aren’t always notified of breaking changes.

        I cannot count the number of times Debian Upgrade broke on me. My memory tells me I had issues with all upgrades (on various machines with mostly defaults) since Debian 8. It’s 13 now. I did follow the correct upgrade process and quite familiar with it, yet every single time I had issues at least for some of the desktops of my elder relatives and friends that I managed. Arch was just stable. And manual intervention is usually needed only if you have this particular thing installed. So, quite seldom. For servers, I think that was much better for me, but now I’m either Arch or Fedora (for situations where I don’t bother with setting my personal environment).

    Just switched from Mint to CachyOS due to some upgraded hardware and it’s been pretty nice so far. Mint will stay on all my other devices though.

    I was on Arch for 14 years, but I’ve started moving to Tumbleweed. I don’t have the time to configure everything now, but this gives me near enough to bleeding edge.

    For me, it’s been Manjaro for ten years, but I’m eyeing atomic distros more and more, like Bazzite.

      I’m really enjoying Bazzite for gaming and uCore for servers. It’s reassuring knowing that I can just rebase and revert to a known good state with working drivers easily. Highly recommend a try

      Bazzite is nice, I’m running it at the moment. The gaming customizations are nice and having the latest kernel stable+NVIDIA open drivers is swell. You can even use Distroshelf (to emulate a distro) and App pass through to install apps that don’t have a Flatpak version. Or package layering, which is needed for VPNs like Mullvad to work properly; that’s also pretty easy to manage, so I never feel like I don’t have access to software. Too bad stock Fedora cannot be arsed to make NVIDIA drivers brain dead easy at the time of installation.

    I’ve settled on fedora atomic and distros based on it, but still not set on my servers. Currently trying atomic server also but I’m not sure if I’m staying with it. I also have some talos nodes but I haven’t gotten around to playing with that yet.
