debian
Is that Guix GNU distro usable?
Not trusting it anymore since Ian Murdock got fucked by the CIA glowing niggers
i cant speak for guix.
but i will say than you can make debian as secure as you want
You mean GuixSD? I think you need a 100% laptop to install, you know with a WiFi card that supports free drivers and Free Bios (Libreboot), but I'm not entirely sure.
Debian Net-install.
Unironically Gentoo.
is maintaining gentoo as annoying as arch is to maintain?
Read this, you may find it useful.

>you need libreboot
Please don't make this a meme. You don't need a libreboot device to install GuixSD.
That why I said I wasn't entirely sure.
unironically ubuntu
write your own wm and post it here if you want a new fad
Debain with i3
Debian+dwm
I used to use Debian more than 10 years ago, maybe I'll give it another go.
Ok whew, that'd be dumb yet expected from them.
Nowadays what's the main differences between ubuntu and debian? I use Ubuntu for my servers but haven't used Debian in a decade.
i3 looks neat
i3 vs dwm? dwm looks neat too dang
dwm requires you to know some C but is super light
i3 does not and is still really light
.
Best non meme rolling release distro?
probably manjaro
omg Manjaro is first on distrowatch?! where is this distro coming from? damn it's been a long time I haven't used Linux as a desktop OS!
So far I read it's great
It's basically an easier version of Arch Linux.
If we're talking Jow Forums memes, then probably Ubuntu or Fedora. Anything that has a botnet support.
oh I see... :(
I'm more looking toward something without any botnet
The development team.
But really, idk, normally you'd assume Ubuntu packages are more up-to-date but no idea if that's the case or not
>oh I see... :(
There is nothing wrong with it.
Debian is probably the best.
How is CloverOS that Jow Forums meme distro I keep seeing on the front page? Anyone tried it for any real usage except that Thinkpad guy in the thread?
Going to try it out
gentoo
mpd/ncmpcpp
other than i3 what do I need? do I need something like gdm or some display manager thing?
is LightDM good? Always used GDM back a few years...
startx
lightdm is pretty good.
You could also use something like 2bwm for maximum autism
command not found
I guess I'll need to install X11 / XORG whatever it's called nowadays
holy fuck apt install xorg ends up installing a fucking shit load of packages wtf
Yes, you need xserver and xinit to run startx.
Read the wiki fag.
MX Linux
Install gentoo
Unironically LFS
NixOS
Honestly after memeing a bunch of distros for years I got bored with having to babysit my OS.
If you just want a solid OS you can build on get Ubuntu LTS and do a minimal install. Maybe Debian if you can't bring yourself to use Ubuntu.
If you do minimal you can just install openbox and make a pretty OS just like on arch anyway, just with less hassle and more stability.
Gentoo requires more consistent maintenance than Arch. Sometimes you'll have to decide how to integrate an update into your system which can take 5-10 minutes.
That said, Gentoo is much more stable than Arch - you can handle the details of exactly what version and components of a given package is being installed before any update takes place.
fedora
>non-meme
>arch in OP
Arch is known for being easy to maintain once set up... What are you talking about?
>non-meme distro
No such thing
So you're looking for a non meme distro with no botnet. Try debian, but if you want non outtadet reps on top of that you're out luck.

>using arch
What a faggot
seriously gentoo
>using Crux in a VM
KYS faggot, or install it on bare metal.
i was at the same point and went for opensuse.
opensuse leap is debianish without the boomer repos.
no u
Forget about the faggots in desktop threads and use ubuntu vanilla.
