I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?

I have been using linux mint recently. I have used nixos and arch in the past. Personally, linux mint uses flatpacks too much for my liking. Although, I might have a warped perspective after using arch. (the aur is crazy big)

    Gentoo. Been using it for over 3 years now, and I haven’t found a reason to leave yet.

        I just use the defaults for everything, haha! Just grub2 for the bootloader, openrc for the init system.

        By “home” do you mean DE/WM? If so, I use dwm for my laptop and sway for my desktop.

            I don’t even know what that stuff is, so I guess my answer is that I just don’t use it 🤷‍♂️

                I don’t really care either way. I like things to be more minimal, but I’m not really anti-systemd or anything like that. I’ve just been using openrc for a few years now, and haven’t used systemd enough to learn about the homed stuff I guess
