Hey fellow Linux enthusiasts! I’m curious to know if any of you use a less popular, obscure or exotic Linux distribution. What motivated you to choose that distribution over the more mainstream ones? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any unique features or benefits that drew you to your chosen distribution.
I just like the rolling release/quick updates of Endeavour(Arch) and SUSE Tumbleweed. So those are the ones I pick between for my gaming laptop (both with Btrfs for easy rollback though I’ve never needed it). For my servers I use Debian and Ubuntu.
Here is the thing, I used to think in the same way you do, but then Flatpak happened and that kind of delivers the best of both worlds on Debian. Rock solid and stable base OS with the latest apps with Flatpak. Bonus feature, doesn’t pollute the system.
