I’ve been distrohopping for a while now, and eventually I landed on Arch. Part of the reason I have stuck with it is I think I had a balanced introduction, since I was exposed to both praise and criticism. We often discuss our favorite distros, but I think it’s equally important to talk about the ones that didn’t quite hit the mark for us because it can be very helpful.

So, I’d like to ask: What is your least favorite Linux distribution and why? Please remember, this is not about bashing or belittling any specific distribution. The aim is to have a constructive discussion where we can learn about each other’s experiences.

My personal least favorite is probably Manjaro.

Consider:

  • What specific features/lack thereof made it less appealing?
  • Did you face any specific challenges?
  • How was your experience with the community?
  • If given a chance, what improvements would you suggest?

    Ubuntu: For shilling all kinds of profrietary garbage by default. If I wanted that I’d be on Windows.

    Also the changes they make to GNOME make it worse, they take away what makes it good, the flow.

      Exactly what I came here to say.

      Prompt me for Ubuntu Pro once (in the GUI on first login)? Shame on you, but I’ll move past it.

      Put an ad in the terminal every time I update my system though? Straight to jail.
