Hello, I wanna know which distro could be could for productivity (not gaming). Maybe a debian based one, I don’t know and I don’t care about the desktop env. Thx!

    I got Void Linux, which is exactly what I use. Neat.

    (and Artix which I used before switching to Void)

      Lol, top answer is Void LInux for me too. I’m not sure if they are weighted and if the top most is the best recommendation for me. I’m an EndeavourOS user and that is not suggested unfortunately. But Artix is second for me too. Maybe I should look closer to Void LInux too. I wouldn’t change, just curious now. Maybe I’ll test it in a virtual machine. :-)

      Edit: BTW I did not click the option to avoid systemd. In fact, I don’t mind systemd.

          systemd is a big collection of software to manage the system. In example to start services or commands to shutdown the pc. The problem for many is, that this one big collection of software is developed by people from a giant company who already has lot of other stuff in most LInux systems integrated. The argumentation is that this company has much power over the system. There are arguments for and against it and I don’t want to get too much into it. Therefore some people create alternative versions of distibutions without these services they call bloat.

          In short people don’t like it either because of bloat or because it’s all one giant collection of software or because the developers also work for Red Hat. There are maybe other reasons, but that is what I read mostly in forums/social media.
