      Honestly it’s just so good. The installation was a heck of a process the first time but it taught me so much, and no other distro I’ve tried has just worked like this across all my hardware.

        It’s mainly frustrating because the learning curve is steep for no reason. NixOS is not complicated at all in and of itself, but the documentation surrounding it is very, very difficult to make heads or tails of.

      I’m using Arch (btw) but I’m running NixOS in a VM to play around & learn it. It’s kind of wild, it’s not like any way I’m used to thinking about an OS at all, so I’m still wrapping my head around it. Super interesting though!

      I recently switched from Arch to Debian. So far am happy with my choice. I had used arch for about 4 years beforehand but I eventually had enough of flaky AUR packages and decided to just build what I need by hand.

    This may be an unpopular opinion, but for anything that doesn’t require a GUI, Ubuntu Server is my go-to. If I need a GUI, then it’s Windows. I’ve tried Linux on desktop dozens of times in the last 25 years or so, and there’s always something lacking. Most recently, RTX support in Steam. Meanwhile, I have Ubuntu servers with > 1 year of uptime, and it would have been more if not for an UPS failure. Right tool for the job IMO.

      100th comment! tbh, i totally get this. using the command line is much easier and a lot less “restricting” quote unquote than using GUI tools.

      Same. I wait patiently for cosmic because I’ve gotten use to the keyboard navigation. And I’ve used Debian-based distros for 20+ years and it feels like home.

    Fedora KDE spin. I dunno how to feel about the recent announcement but from what I know, it shouldn’t affect Fedora itself.
