    I am a Debian unstable user who used to use Gentoo, the reason I stopped using Gentoo is revdep-rebuild. Do not want to do another revdep-rebuild ever again.

    Fedora with AUR would be ideal for me. I’ve had too many random issues running Ubuntu and ubuntu-based OSs and while I like the simplicity of Debian, its too… little? for what I’m looking for. Arch and arch-based works great, but most are KDE and I would need to make a lot of changes out of the box before I can start using it (the default pdf viewer for KDE is nicer that Evince (the pdf viewer packaged with most gnome DEs) but I can’t print off some pages in e-books whereas Evince allows that)

    Fedora server be Ballin tho

      What do you mean “most are KDE”? Arch doesn’t even include a DE when you install it. If you don’t install one during install, then you’re greeted by a terminal when you reboot. I’ve been using Gnome on Arch for 2 years without issue.

    Quick attack users of the most popular distro before normal people start using Linux! We can’t allow a good, stable and perfectly usable distro to get popular, we need to bully everyone back to windows or terrible things might happen like the year of they Linux desktop!!

    Debian is for people who have shit to get done and don’t care about a neon colored wallpaper, mostly don’t have a wallpaper at all.

      It’s a lot harder to get Nvidia drivers working on Debian than any other distro I’ve tried including Arch. Every issue besides that one I’ve ever had in Debian, I was able to fix.

          I’m about to get a chance to try it on a different pc (M5A am3 with a Titan X), but on a x79 motherboard and a 1080ti, that doesn’t work. After installing that, I do get the Nvidia x server but when I open the program, it’s an empty window and something is obviously broken. I installed Arch on the same pc and it was even easier to get Nvidia drivers working than on Ubuntu.

      A distro is the distribution you want to use for an OS when it comes to linux such as fedora, Ubuntu, mint, arch etc. the symbols are the icons for the individual OS’s

        Artix is a fork of Arch that uses different initialization systems such as Open-RC instead of SystemD. Artix exists because people believe that SystemD is bloated, which it arguably is. And that SystemD doesn’t respect the Unix philosophy.

            Increased memory usage, increased CPU usage, it might get in the way if you’re trying to set something up too. General consequences of ‘bloat’.

            The only benefit you’ll really notice with other systems is much faster boot time, the memory is only like 30MB maybe.

                The memory usage is as Systemd has lots of daemons and services running the background. The CPU usage uplift is mainly during boot, as Systemd is sorting itself out.

                  I see ! Is this a concrete issue, as in does your system stall easily ? or is it more ideological ? Sometimes it’s difficult to make sense of that as a layman

    I spend more and more time after each new fedora install to get it perfect. There are so many small tweaks i gotta do that I might just learn NixOS
