Linux

Fedora is highly overrated.

@valentino I know Ubuntu is the meme answer but I’ve never been satisfied when I use it. On servers and desktops where I want stability, I find Debian to be much more reliable and straightforward. I had two Ubuntu pcs recently and the upgrade gui tool would just kill itself when trying to go to the next version so I had to look up the terminal option. And looking up packages only to find out I’m installing outdated snaps where the permissions get in the way

Completely agree on Linux Mint, even though it's still one of my favorite distributions and the one I'm using usually. I'm comfortable with the base Ubuntu system but it comes without all the Canonical garbage (like Snap trying to quietly install itself back when I install an APT package).

Still too much bloatware though, and to my knowledge there is no modern, well documented APT based distro with a community active enough that I can fix my issues reasonnably fast.

I guess I will have to make the jump to Arch. Currently happy with my Regolith install now though, so I'm a bit lazy to explore other options.

Gentoo. Gentoo users have pretty much supplanted Arch (btw) users in the "annoying poweruser" niche.

I agree with you a bit on Garuda, even as someone myself who uses it. I've had it break multiple times on me, I still use it mainly because it has all the stuff I like by default (and a cool dragon theme, which should be a requirement of all distros).

Other than that, I'm gonna be boring and say Ubuntu. Just a worse Debian.

Gentoo. I say this as someone who used to daily drive it.

And arch too.

Debian (Testing) I used it for a good month, and man was I disappointed. Only some things are actually up to date and packaged correctly. The nvidia drivers don't load the drm module because it's not called nvidia-drm on Debian (testing) it's called nvidia-current-drm. Also apt is the worst package manager

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

All the distros that let you install packages from other distros. What's the point?

ZorinOS is definitely overrated, their update cycles are too slow (two years between major releases) and its unique features like ZorinConnect, Windows Software Tool , and their Zorin customized GNOME 42/XFCE isn't good enough against its sibling Mint.
