I presume mint will eventually overtake ubuntu as it’s just a most stable, user friendly, and sensible build.
Does it really make sense to complain about fragmentation here when many distros are just downstream from others? I was on Pop! And have used Ubuntu but am on Debian at the moment. Nothing’s really changed. I installed the same application versions, I’d read the same tutorials to get things done. What am I missing here?

EndeavourOS since July 2023. I’m doing my part!
I started using EndeavourOS in 2022 and used it for around a year, then hopped to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed to give something else a try (why is distro hopping enjoyable? it should be a nightmare). After a few months I came back to Endeavour, it feels snappier and has some software I wasn’t able to find so easily on Tubleweed (I think PopcornTime was one of them). I think Endeavour is the best way to experience Arch for the first time if you don’t want too many headaches.
I’ve only distro hopped once…kinda, I went from Pop_OS with a 2 month stop over back on Windows 10 before landing on Endeavour
Been meaning to try move to vanilla Arch or try other distros now that I know a bit more about Linux, and my system is getting pretty cluttered. Just remembering what I need to backup is a pain.
Nobara has been good for me.
Same here. Everything worked pretty much right out of the box with Nobara. And my total linux experience in the last decade is running Mint on my work laptop the last 3 months. I tried to switch over to linux gaming in the late 00s, but it was far too much work then. I spent more time getting X3 to work then I ever did playing it. Completely different experience these days.
I tried to install nobara and it was the single worst Linux experience I’ve ever had. I couldn’t get my monitor to run at full refresh rate and then it just straight up wasn’t ever usable again for that install.
Debian LXDE goat
Lowest memory usage desktop that is at least functionally complete and doesn’t require relearning how to everything.
Lkxee I a dead project though /: Lxqt is the replacement
I tend to like PopOS as it plays nicely with Nvidia GPUs. Not saying it’s for everyone, but it’s what works for me and finally allowed me to kick Windows to the curb
How does it compare with mint? I’m currently on cinnamon but wondering if Pop would be better
I really liked pop for years. But my most recent install was using an absurd amount of ram and performed like crap. So I switched to fedora KDE and so far so good.
Am I the only one bothered that protondb just shares your information like this? They have no privacy policy, no way to delete reviews, no way to post reviews without providing system info and now they share that info with others??
If you decide to contribute there, it’s quite clear that all the information is public. I mean you can see how the website is structured and what kind of information can be found at each entry.
Additionally, the github states the following about the protondb data: “Data exports from ProtonDB.com released under ODbL” - see here: https://github.com/bdefore/protondb-data
When you post a review the expectation is that you’re contributing to the site and can easily reverse this. Compiling everything in a database and putting it on github permanently is not part of the deal, and applying this licence to it without your consent is just outragous:
Database Contents License (DbCL) Summary: Waive all rights in the individual Contents of a Database licensed under the ODbL
If Facebook did this there would be massive outcry.
The site seems to be a bit of a hack job, you have to join their Discord and ask one of the administrators to delete your review manually.
Apparently they put everything in a github repo anyways so there’s no removing it.
But is the data anonymous? Or can it be traced to individual users?
It doesn’t contain usernames or full system information thankfully, but if you entered personal information in the details it’s there.
The only rock is debian, arch has increased
Doesn’t say if this includes Arch on Deck devices, but that’s probably why all others are shrinking. This is relative to percentages, I want to see total number of installs.
Get wrekt
I post as I still have problems with Wayland on Arch lmao
Manjoro took a major hit with Pinebox’s recent troubles IMHO
First thing I heard about it, what happened? (Is it pinebook?)
