Why are distro communities turning linux more and more into Windows and Mac OS clones?

This is why I use Arch.

    Great…Right now, when I was thinking about finally installing Manjaro (I saw its for noobs, pretty well designed, i’m tired of “power users” distros). What else then? I used EOS, it was buggy sometimes errors etc., I use cachyOS and all the time errors and problems, but i just don’t care anymore, Ubuntu is corporate’s shit, maybe Mint or Fedora? Actually, I kinda liked flatpak recently, maybe I could live without AUR he? But on the other hand I need this rolling release cycle, thats why I hoped Manjaro is such “stable arch”, I’m nvidia user…

        Well I tried, it was better than cachyOS now, but still it was not so for noobs, i had to fix many problems using it

      Could also check out openSUSE if you don’t mind the lack of an AUR

      What is your preferred desktop environment from below?

      Based on your choice I can recommend you a one.

      Also do you prefer stability or getting the latest updates?

        KDE only, I would prefer stability (as I’m tired of things breaking up), but I need latest updates (thats why i liked flatpak, cuz it partially replaces need of AUR).

          Let me warn you first, your GPU might cause some issues with the distro.

          Based on all the info you told me about the distro you want, I would recommend Opensuse Tumbleweed.

          After installing you would just need to install Nvidia drivers and the codecs and you will be ready to go.

          If you plan to use flatpacks for your media playing software and browser then you won’t need codecs as it’s included in the flatpacks.

          Just don’t forget to configure auto update and when you start installing at the final screen before clicking install make sure that ssh is disabled and selinux is enabled for extra security.

          Extra notes:

          • The default browser is firefox, but it can be replaced with any other browser.

          • If you want a working office suite and you don’t have high requirements, you can choose between Libre Office, Free office[Prop] or WPS office [Prop].

          I hope you enjoy your time on linux.
