Looking for a distro recommendation

[email protected] • 1 year ago

I’m looking for a distro recommendation for development needs.

I have a 16gb ram pc and using docker and k3s to run my code, and multiple intellijs on a linux vmware vm (my host is windows) which eats a lot of ram. I tried ubuntu, Debian and xubuntu.

Most of them didn’t handle my ram consumptions, xubuntu is good but I’d like to know if there’s a better one for my needs.

I’ve got an old ThinkPad w/ 16GB RAM. My daily workflow is a combo of Emacs, a bunch of JVM languages, Make, Docker and minikube. I’ve been running openSUSE Tumbleweed for ages and am quite happy w/ its performance, package availability and being up-to-date.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
