been using fedora since 2018, never tried any other distro but im not afraid of using the command line to do stuff like disk partitioning/installing a DE (i run fedora server btw). however i think i've got a case of wanderlust, i want to try something new, something not rpm based. arch bros? debian bros? ubuntu bros?

distro hopping is mental torture

I wouldn't recommend Ubuntu. In the Debian-like family, if you want "just werks", go for Mint. If you want ricing, customization, and command-line stuff, go for Debian.

>>107694215
why? fedora works fine

Arch is easier than ever with the new install script so go for it

the only two problems i've had with fedora is codecs preventing an update and btrfs fucking everything up (requiring manual intervention with a live usb, i.e. not something i've always got access to)

ubuntu seems to not have these problems

try debian, it is the best simply because it's a distribution that doesn't try to babysit you like fedora, but is very independent (very minded distro) and stable, meaning you don't need to babysit it as you do with arch. besides the big repos and its lts nature, deb gives you space and peace of mind to learn (about everything) at your own pace, and be comfortable while doing so.

be carefull tho, if you dont align to its proposals it can be a pain, you need to know some workarounds to get new software and for emulation/games, there are videos around teaching them. try it out on live and use the netinstall if youre going to install.

>>107694564
would you still recommend it if i plan to install more up to date nvidia drivers than what 13 stable comes with? i know people tend to have opinions on stuff like backports
>>
>>107694403
>how big of a problem is snaps really?
Not a huge problem desu. It's just hard to recommend Ubuntu when Linux Mint is similar in many ways but doesn't pull this kind of shit. It's not about Ubuntu being super terrible, it's about there being a better alternative.
>>
>>107694581
Not that anon, but in my experience installing stuff from backports works fine. It's running a frankendebian, not backports, that requires more experience and willingness to debug.

Ew, I'd rather gurgle NEET girl spit who hasn't brushed her teeth in ages.

>>107694976
i like the idea of using Mint for some reason, but it's just too much jank for me (Cinnamon, that is).
no idea of how you guys put up with it
>>
>>107695319
You could always install another DE after, I slapped KDE onto my Mint install back when I still used that.
Worked like a charm.

Give default Mint with Cinnamon. Even if its just a VM test. Everything is just pretty good out of the box. It's pretty much the Debian equivilent of Fedora. I haven't noticed any bugs or jank with Cinnamon. I'm on latest though.
