Hello everyone, I need help to decide on a Linux Distribution to settle and finally stop distro hopping. I have quite some experience with Linux(1year Mint, a quarter year Arch, nixos, manjaro, fedora, suse tumbleweed and kalpa…)I have been experimenting for now almost 3 years. Now I finally want to setlle but I just don’t know where. I like Nix’s shell but don’t like installing everything in five steps(with git because my brain can stand neither the dirty tree warning nor leaving out on the git push) and I don’t need the reproducibility. I like rolling so I don’t need to reinstall or do any major update, but even more appealing is low maintenance and stability in the sense of nothing unexpectedly breaking. I’ll use the computer as an daily driver mostly for programming & 3d design, university related work, streaming and also some gaming. Thank you for your answers. #linux #distrohopping
Honestly, I’m not really sure if anyone can help you here. Sounds like you’re already quite experienced with linux and know what you’re looking for and what you need.
Most people seeing your requirements would probably say Fedora, as it’s pretty up to date but still stable. I might recommend debian testing if you want slightly more cutting edge.
Frankly, I think you know best what you need and you should see what fits you :)
I would go with fedora, but I don’t want a company behind my distro.
Fedora is upstream of RHEL, not the other way around.
But Red Hat still sponsor it and that might be enough.
sure… but Dell also sponsors the Linux Foundation
