I’m very curious of which distro users loves the most that they have it on their daily hardware?

    Manjaro for my laptop, Mint for my HTPC, and Debian for my servers.

      I’m sorry but I can’t resist mentioning it. Manjaro implemented quite sus telemetry recently so you should keep it in mind when choosing and using it.

        Good to know! I was considering switching back to Debian or Mint, maybe LMDE. I’ll look further into it. Thanks for the tip!

          Try endeavoros and use flatpaks. That’s basically manjaro with the following differences:

          • current with the aur
          • doesn’t have a built in gui software installer
          • no modifications-it’s basically just arch with the things you would have probably installed

            I was thinking of switching away from Arch and back to something Debian-based. I’ve never been a big fan of flatpaks (I have a background of not having fast internet or much storage space, it’s just stuck with me) and I never used the AUR anyways.

            I mainly tried Manjaro to try the bleeding-edge life, and while I do enjoy having more up-to-date packages, I do miss being able to install DEB packages. I think I might try Debian testing and see how that goes.

              I’ve effectively gone that route of moving away from Arch to Debian and although it hasn’t been without some minor inconveniences from not having the most up to date software, I’ve been really happy with the change. I try to avoid flatpaks and for the most part have been successful, with like 2 or 3 exceptions so even if you’re not much of a fan, I’d wager you’d be fine for the most part without them.

                Yeah, that’s my plan. I usually end up with a couple of flatpaks (or AppImages) for the things that I need up to date, but otherwise just go with most things from the repository.
