>xubuntu You should have tried ubuntu mate for nostalgia. That shit made me remember Debian 6 and Ubuntu 10.04. You should give a try before jump next distro.
Dylan Murphy
I just had to go back to windows for my desktop. I just got tired of dealing with driver issues on linux and other compatibility problems. I still prefer it tho.

better version. you are brainlet
Jackson Reed
all ubuntu flavours are the same
i tried mate as well, not interested
Matthew Morales
I personally love Manjaro and even with the bloat, you described it still runs smooth as silk on the POS laptop I bought just to play around with Linux. 10/10
Michael Diaz
why are you gay
Jonathan James
What's wrong with them?
Austin Gomez
Care to explain why you like to distrohop so much? What difference is there other than pkg manager and the pkgs preinstalled
Christopher Lewis
>smooth it's outdated... definitely not smooth [hated it] >bloat its a problem having such software bloated distro, manjaro team should just let us to select what software we want, not bloating it with useless shit
Gabriel Perez
I distrohop because something tells me that n o t t h i s d i s t r o there was always at least one, like even small problem that pissed me off for example
Manjaro : >bloat
OpenSUSE : >installing i3 too hard, ragequit
Charles Lee
Debian netinst
Anthony Reyes
Idk, I was born this way I guess.
I still run linux on my laptop and file server tho.
Jason Kelly
Ubuntu if you want to get stuff done *buntu if you can't learn to use modern DE, and need to stick to your old ways Arch if you want to have 100% custom setup, or spend spare time learning Gentoo if you want to work on extremely specific hardware, like washing machine, car, or light bulb Manjaro if you are brainlet too stupid to learn Arch Elementary/Mint if you want abandoned and slightly broken version of Ubuntu Fedora if you work at/with RedHat
Ayden Carter
If i3 was too hard for you on OpenSUSE, then what in the name of holy fuck were you doing on Arch and especially Gentoo?
Matthew Lee
Just write an installer for Arch and use that. Pacman and aur is superior
Brayden Russell
Meh, tell me something I don't know.
Adrian Hall
>all flavors are same You can say that for every Linux distro
James Robinson
>Mentions that he don't like arch >Just install arch
>Install VM ware, virtualbox or any other shit virtualization that exists. >create a VM to any fucking distro you want to test >try all that shit you want until you find some that you really liked >install that as your default distro >????? >profit
Was in the same predicament as OP because of my monitor's compatibility issues.
This one worked best, but there was a sparse amount of specific software.
Anyone actually use this? I've heard it in name only honestly. What's the appeal?
Personally OP, realize that package #'s and bloat is all useless. System to system use packages specifically, and if you have a problem with a higher number, then take a step back and realize that lol.
Just use whatever works best for your hardware and you. Manjaro is literally arch with tweaks, OpenSUSE is buggy and zypper sucks. idk your problem with the debian family of stuff, but yeah. I've used everything you've mentioned and just look back at them and think of this: why didn't you like them? Was it a small issue that you could have fixed? was it a fundamental problem with the distro?
If you don't like these baseline systems for whatever reasons behind bloat or whatever, maybe you should just try and stick wtih a system that works for you for awhile, then realize what you actually need and switch from there. Relogging into stuff is such a pain in the ass that I've kinda given up on hopping and now i've stuck to Manjaro. Distro's are a glorified tweaked DE behind a package manager. Don't let differences make you switch everywhere.
Personally, I stuck with Solus for a really long time, and the only reason I hopped was because of compatibility with my VPN software, that and Solus was always a week to a few months behind in terms of support. Like hell, they're still on GNOME 3.28. Yeah, I get the GNOME meme but w/e, a DE is a DE honestly.

>answer the test >Result: Antergos
WAT? WHY?
Joseph Ross
The software situation these days is fine, 99.9% of what you'd want to use is in the repos, if it isn't get it as a flatpak or appimage
Andrew Foster
ah, so you just dont know linux yet. those are usually the people that hop, you'll grow tired of it eventually and start actually learning
Lucas Jones
i stopped hopping on Gentoo. portage too good.
Asher Williams
There is no perfect distro that will suit everyone. The problem is that you have nothing to do and instead of doing something productive you reinstall distros and (probably) rice them.
Pretty much just you, I've had nothing but good experiences with flakpak
Jason Thomas
>Solus >Not using Budgie
Why even using Solus then?
Christopher Wilson
i3 is easy to set up on both gentoo and arch but opensuse is gay so no thanx
Elijah Barnes
I did for awhile too. Never really had any complaints behind Budgie, other than it felt like a lesser gnome.
Just preference honestly.
Oliver Bell
CentOS with docker to run newer software
Jack Hughes
what's the best /baremetal/ distro to do this? centos or debian? I want to have a dead stable machine with new software trough containers/virtualization
Bentley Hernandez
you need to step back and think to yourself what your use case is. If you hopped from a distro without a reason to hop you're doomed. If Manjaro, or OpenSUSE worked without any issues GO BACK.
Robert Adams
slackware immediately cured it for me
Adam Barnes
The only thing that made me stop hopping was a fresh Debian netinst install with i3wm, since ricing and setting up i3 takes quite sometime i'm just lazy to setting it up all over again in a different distro.
Yea i can write install scripts and all but i'm fine atm.
Xavier Sullivan
You should try Debian with XFCE. It's lightweight, stable, fast, and extremely customizable. At git.xfce.org/archive/xfce4-taskbar-plugin, you can find a plugin that behaves like the Windows 7 taskbar, which I've been trying to get packaged for Debian/Ubuntu. I've been using it for months and haven't stopped since. Currently, I have my setup looking similar to Ubuntu's Unity. (Don't judge.)
William Taylor
I'll try Debian with i3/openbox at most i don't use DEs
Angel Sanders
Oh, in that way. Yeah, I concur with that.
Brayden Hughes
Honestly just use Debian. It's popular and you can fix any issue you might have because of it.
Brody Anderson
what was your problem with arch
Logan Williams
it just breaks way too often, i don't have time for that
Archlabs is the comfiest while easy to install and ready to use afterwards. Undoubtedly the best arch-based distro.
Elijah Ross
so you just dont know linux, install *buntu
Brandon Collins
it kinds of put me off that I see so many old security bugs security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/status/release/stable >2018 >37 matches we are 5 months into 2019 lmao, this feels like slackware. Is the page outdated or something? I don't get it, I checked a couple and they are still vulnerable, though I don't use any
>hurr durr arch is the only linux distro where if it breaks it's the user problem you are fucking nigger retard go back to unix porn, most problems aren't upstream it's fucking arch, since upstream is mostly bugfixes unless you are tracking development branches
Which Linux distro would be the most suitable for my laptop that with a 64 bits operating system, Which uses a Hard Disk HDD Toshiba MQ01ABF050 has only 2.00 GB of RAM has only 1.00 GHz, has an x64 processor, and also has AMD E1-2100 APU with Radeon (TM) HD Graphics?
I look for a distro of Linux that is light, that uses very little RAM, that needs few GHz, and that easy to use for a user that is totally new and beginner in Linux
Bentley Foster
Bodhi Linux Xubuntu Gentoo [recommended]
Dylan Roberts
And which of those 3 Distros, is the most user friendly for new and inexperienced users in Linux?
Daniel Garcia
You're just a pussy who gives up because something is too hard. Go back to your room distrohopping, you sissy
Chase Wright
Gentoo
Nathaniel Young
>intalling i3 too hard >in any distro >ever fucking retard, even in linux from scratch would just take building it from source
Michael Diaz
have sex
Nolan Ward
u m, fuck off opensuse shill
your nigger os isn't special and only above-average thing in opensuse is yast and i struggle to even include that one
Jaxson Peterson
The problem is that I do not have any experience with Linux.
I am looking for a Distro that is friendly to users who have no prior experience with Linux
Basically, I'm looking for an ideal Linux for beginners and first-timers in Linux.
System requirements: 1GB RAM (2GB recommended for a comfortable usage). 15GB of disk space (20GB recommended). 1024×768 resolution (on lower resolutions, press ALT to drag windows with the mouse if they don’t fit in the screen).
Jaxson Thomas
OK thanks.
and finally, which version of Mint Linux do you recommend?
Joseph Morales
Linux Mint bro
Xavier Kelly
void or mx
Angel Rivera
What this guy said. It's not like one has a line of super special code. It's the same shit with different layouts.
Every distro hopper ends with a netinstall built up with the programs you need. That's how all the archfags got here.
Adrian Hughes
For a shit notebook, get the Mate one. For a ok one, Cinnamon.
Robert Phillips
Opensuse is shit doesn't change the fact that you are a subhuman nigger who can't install a simple C program without any dependencies
Henry Torres
why do you keep jumping?
theres hardly any difference between all those unless you're doing very technically stuff. If you were you wouldn't have that question
Nathan Russell
Install Gentoo
Christopher Collins
libreboot+parabola and purity spiral until you live alone in a cabin in the woods perfecting your setup for the next 20 years
Aiden Russell
well then good user, just try fedora. Arch derivs are kinda.. bad. I hopped for a while until I landed on void and gentoo OpenRC. I now live in comfort
Clear Linux has the best performance and most recent stable packages out of any distro. There is little reason to use anything else.
Isaac Young
The logical thing would be to keep your current distro, not ask for new ones and continue the cycle.
Tyler Wood
Probably nothing new can "cure" you. Go back to the distro that made you most productive.
If it was Arch or Gentoo consider Void. If you liked Ubuntu or another GNOME distro then I'd strongly consider Fedora.
Lincoln Hughes
>i3 You're distro hopping but you're using a WM like i3? Ofc you thought Manjaro was just bloat, its i3 edition is preconfigured.
You're really a retard if you think a distro is going to change how your i3 setup behaves.
Jonathan Young
all manjaro editions are bloated with software you nigger
Stop shilling your shit outdated distro
Brayden Ward
Clonezilla. If you like a particular OS, you can save the disk image using Clonezilla, and move on to install the next distro over it. Repeat. After you have amassed a sizeable collection of disk images, say 10 different distros, then you can leisurely rotate between them daily/weekly/whatever. Because you can't really know if you like an OS in a one-week trial, not enough time to grow into its idiosyncracies.
Matthew Rivera
1-2 GB RAM? Bloat shit user, I stick to my 256mb RAM arch Linux setup
Jacob Hernandez
I hopped around for a while before settling with what I originally tried (Mint). Since going back to it, I've had no interest in moving again. Easy install/upgrades and most problems have multiple solutions. Good enough for me, with the god-tier W7 feel combined with the power of Terminal.
Benjamin Morgan
Arch, unnironically. Shit just works for me.
Caleb Fisher
I picked KDE neon since its an Ubuntu based distro and if I ever run into problems there's a 99% chance that this question was already asked on SO. Also most projects usually are tested on the newest Ubuntu LTS which means less problems here which is nice.
