Community-built Linux is Better? - Linux Distro Showcase Late 2022

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

Feren OS is based upon Ubuntu. It’s also my favorite Plasma-focused distro. It has numerous under-the-hood changes that improve upon Ubuntu and the user experience in general. And very polished! The many long-term improvements and tweaks make it clear the developers really know what they’re doing. One of the best distros out there.

[@electricalbatross5797]

This. To be fair, classic was based on Mint and current Feren uses the same Software Manager Mint does, but a new store is in the works.

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

@@electricalbatross5797 correct! Feren Classic was actually my first go at Feren OS. And I’m really looking forward to the upcoming Feren OS Store. It’s an enormous undertaking and far from ready, but development appears to be on the right path. I’m more of a server/terminal Linux user, so when I do use desktop Linux, I appreciate it when devs go above and beyond to make the desktop as polished and intuitive as possible. Small quality-of-life improvements really add up. Feren OS does this better than most distros. For example, I like to use multiple browsers, so Feren OS making Vivaldi a flagship browser and the Feren Firefox tweaks are much appreciated. And Plasma double-click!! So I don’t have to make these changes myself :)

[@emjaycee]

@@mitchelvalentino1569 I really like what Feren dev is doing but I always seem to have one recurring issue lol. For some reason I can never seem to get myself a working Wine. I wish he would either preinstall it or give me a script to use which would 'always' just work lol. I only need the one working exe app and I do need Wine lol.

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

@@emjaycee ah. That’s interesting. I see how that would be very troublesome. I’ve never used Wine, but I certainly sympathize, since there are some legacy DOS and Mac OS 9 programs that I still use to this day. And at the end of the day, I must follow the workflow. Yet now I’m curious about Wine. Maybe it’s time to finally check it out. Perhaps some Windows chess software I’ve always wanted to try. Thanks for the info, btw!

[@emjaycee]

@@mitchelvalentino1569 LOL. I have had it work for me before (Wine I mean), but so far it's been like this game of chance and more often than not it's a 'fail' :) I need a bit more certainty than that :) Heaps of time for Feren and what he is doing though :)

[@Rain-King]

This might be an unpopular opinion, but one of the barriers to entry to Linux for me was the sheer number of available distributions, which is why I simply opted for the stable, well-known Ubuntu. While choice and customizability are core appeals of Linux, it does seem to me like this absolute plethora of options fragments the userbase somewhat. I don't know... People that know more, do you think the massive number of distros are a significant factor standing in the way of more mainstream Linux adoption?

[@SunIsLost]

Yea

[@Sitwayen]

Yes but I wouldn't trade options tor userbase'

[@Sumire973]

@@SunIsLost Based on the facts, i'd say no. Linux is the only operating system that has managed to pass the 1% barrier after the Windows/Mac duopoly, the second most used open source operating system after Linux is FreeBSD, which has a 0.01% desktop market share. according to StatCounter, and that OS has a centralized development unlike Linux, so there is a FreeBSD just like there is a Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, etc. Mainly one of the reasons why FreeBSD and other operating systems are way less popular than Linux is because of the lack of choices, and especially those that differ from Linux, which are almost non-existent, Linux distros have saturated the market so much that they have left very little space for other operating systems, which is why almost nobody talks about other FLOSS operating systems other than Linux.

[@electricalbatross5797]

Manjaro is a very broken distro, and their devs are absolutely careless. That being said, does that carry over to Tromjaro? Or did the devs of Tromjaro take measures to prevent issues created by Manjaro?

[@sharkuel]

That's a fair question that I would love to have an answer for as well. I like Manjaro as a concept, but it is quite lackluster due to what you described. The Manjaro Dev team are prone to fuck ups.

[@shalokshalom]

All the technical issues on Manjaro obviously translate to TromJaro The developers of TromJaro would need to address every single issue on its own And I doubt they see any of these issues (now), otherwise they wouldn't have choosen Manjaro as their basis

[@rishirajsaikia1323]

Manjaro could have been better if they implemented something like openQA which is present for opensuse automatic package testing.

[@sifatullah7568]

Believe it or not, (and this will make linux fanboys cry) my Manjaro system f'ed up right after doing a clean install. I thought it was just me, so I clean installed 1 more time right after that happened, and the same thing happened again, it broke by an update. Manjaro is a great concept, but it's real life utilization is a mess.

[@yrjo5050]

Manjaro is not broken distro. I have been using testing branch a year now updating weekly. No major issues, minor ones , well there might have been .some, don’t remember So rare.

[@jeffrodrequez]

Glad to see TromJaro getting some love, I discovered it a few years ago when it first came out and ran it for a while. I have since moved on but I never had any problems with it and really enjoyed the overall look and feel. XeroLinux and RisisOS are my two favorite community distros currently.

[@SunIsLost]

Yea

[@richardmonroe4208]

Arcolinux (Erik Dubois) got me interested in Arch which led me to Garuda and EndeavourOS. I very much like KDE versions and window managers like leftwm.

[@SunIsLost]

Nice

[@bardmoss]

Feren has been Ubuntu-based for years now, it just lags behind their release cycle. I would have gone to Peppermint, now based on Debian Bullseye, long before MX. Might be interested in SolydXK as well. For Arch, if you can decipher the website instrctions, Arco is excellent.

[@pablosegalinas4261]

[@unclefester9113]

I wish there was a software center. Installing software - can be a little bit like a root canal.

[@the.wanginator]

[@phillee2814]

An often overlooked independent community dist is Solus. Not based on any other distro and with it's own very sensibly curated repository it's very fast and unbloated unlike some.

[@Ismael-iw4tm]

Mx Linus is popular because It WORKS

[@emjaycee]

MX is good. I recently found an issue which precludes 'me' using it though. I deliberately bought a HP printer to stay safe in Linux lol. And, while general printing in MX is fine, I have one Windows app that designs maps that I need to print out, and I cannot for the life of me get them to print, it always comes up with err0 and err2 messages. This happens in a LOT of Debian based distros but not all. LMDE is fine, as is Q4OS and Neptune, but most give me grief... unfortunately :(

[@blu3h4t]

on my main computer i have zorin right now, but since i also realised that fedora is actually the best distro, and i also have it on an other computer, nobara is probably worth checking out :D

[@iibrahimov]

0:15 MX-Linux is one of the biggest distros as well & the most famous in Linux world.

[@experimental0000]

Re: Nobara - well it also helps that Glorious Eggroll is a dev for RedHat which is why they're so good at it. Though Nobara is mainly gaming focused compared to vanilla Fedora so YMMV depending on the hardware. I tried it a couple times on a basic i3 laptop and Nobara chugged and stuttered like crazy while other distros including Fedora work just fine on it, so I'm guessing some of the tweaks in Nobara work better on higher end hardware.

[@robertkeaney9905]

I hear that Nobara is fantastic for heavy duty gaming Desktops. I personally use it on an budget gaming laptop. Though I have to say that it's not quite as great as Pop Os for Nvidia/Intel gaming laptops. But its still decent. And worlds better than Manjaro or vanilla fedora for nvidia GPU laptops.

[@Cre8teQ]

Hello IG Mate, long time sub. My KDE Manjaro install borked AGAIN a couple of years back, so I thought I'd distro-hop before sticking with something. Garuda, basically, had everything themed and tweaked, exactly as I had my Manjaro install pimped out, so I ended up on that and haven't looked back. Of course, all that stuff is totally subjective but I love my hideous, garish desktop and it's backed by the proper Arch repos and not the awful mess, that Manjaro does wth it's repos. Admittedly, the first time I tried Manjaro 10+ years ago, I didn't have the knowhow but, every single time I've had Manjaro installed it has completely borked and I can't be bothered again. Other thing, that makes it great, IMHO, is Garuda's choice to use the Zen kernel out the box. Your system has never run so well, as it will running Zen and the compatibility to run pretty much anything on Linux is greater on Zen, than even Ubuntu's kernel. I do really love the one quick install of loads apps, at first run too. Their Chaotic AUR repo has a lot of packages already built, so saves time building from AUR proper and they're always upto date. They've recently introduced automatic hotfixes, on the occasions when problems do come down the pipes from upstream on Arch proper. This is a major USP for Garuda, and simply can't be underestimated when using anything Arch based. Also, the setup of Timeshift on the BTFS file system, pretty unique for Arch spins. Has also, got me out of trouble, on occasion although I haven't had any issues in a year now, probably because of the hotfixes. EndeavourOS, the spiritual successor to Antergos, is worth a shout too but I've no reason to switch at the moment. I do like MXLinux, great communty behind it, just a few of my regular apps missing from Debian and MX repos, so I can't bail from anything Arch based...

[@Blueeeeeee]

Too bad you didn't mention Peppermint, it's another great Debian-based distribution (was previously based on Ubuntu), and it was faster than MX in my benchmarks

[@johanb.7869]

DJ Ware shows benchmark tests at the end of his video's and Peppermint very often ends up first. But the fastest is Clear Linux from Intel, but it's not meant for the common user.

[@InfinitelyGalactic]

I do love Peppermint - did a dedicated video back in July on their latest.

[@tendermoza]

[@phoenixclaw456]

pepermint is not stable.

[@ecw0647]

Some others you might want to consider: Ultramarine (fedora fork), StormOS, Bluestar, and XeroLinux (both Arch) and BigLinux (Debian out of Brazil) and now SpiralLinux. I think some of the "community"-based are better than the more popular distros. Voyager and and Feren are very nice, and I really like BigLinux and StormOs

[@dits791]

I just found Big Linux recently and found it it perfect for my needs.

[@becomeawesome522]

Big Linux has been built off of Manjaro since 2021 (one of my two favorite Linux distros at the moment)

[@methanoid]

You should try Spiral Linux (Debian with sensible changes and will continue to work if Dev gets hit by a bus). Very sensible distro and loads of DEs available

[@dktol56]

Spiral Linux is maintained by the same guy who does GeckLinux, so the guiding principles are much the same. It installs by defaut on BTRFS subvolumes and configures snapper to make snapshots when you perform package installs/updates, then makes the snapshots available on the grub boot menu. Easy rollbacks if something breaks, much like BSD boot environments. Also, the maintainer makes it easy to move the os from debian stable (bullseye) to testing or unstable, transforming it (mostly) to a rolling release. That's where BTRFS and snapshots come in handy. I plan on giving this a try soon.

[@zparihar]

@@dktol56 I would recommende going from Stable to Testing / Unstable. Historically issues that arise on Testing, do not get resolved for a long time. Stable is the way to go!

[@draugr7693]

My favourite community distros are Archcraft, Nobara, Antix, Solus and EndeavourOS.

[@davidunderwood9037]

Ultramarine Fedora? Spiral Linux?

[@AbteilungsleiterinBeiAntifaEV]

Arch and Debian _are_ community built distros.

[@BurhanDanger]

I mean arch is a very good community built distro, yet there's no mention of it! An worthy lesser known but solid derivative of arch is artix.

[@nunagoras]

Arch is one the 3 big bases after all: Arch, Fedora, Debian, and all of them are community driven, even though all of them currently financed directly or indirectly from big businesses: Fedora from IBM/Red Hat; Debian from Google and Arch from Valve. That needs to be said. There are no distros based on Manjaro. Manjaro is based on Arch. Any Arch "snafu" will one or the other way run out on Manjaro, unless they can work around it for good. That's it and that can be said for the other big 2. Ubuntu, if they go to the Snap file format full base, going out of Debian, will become a 4th one, but they're far from it, and that would to become the first fully commercial base of them all. From here one will to choose what best fits them.

[@kennyp6622]

Can you do a video on TromJaro? It looks interesting.

[@bbs-d1l]

I've already tried Nobara but for me is bloated alot even for games, i know you can customize the ISO to your own taste but in the end i prefer the minimal installation of Fedora, it's a insane good distro. I'm using Fedora about 1 year and even with alot of installed and unistalled packages my system keep rock solid stable, no breaking apps or packages. The best distro for me is Fedora and i happy i stopped distro hopping, lol.

[@xperience-evolution]

For me Fedora is the biggest disappointment yet. Nothing really works that great. Man problems with Nvidia cards and the updates while bioting are annoying and belong to Windows. But I guess if it works for you that is great 👌

[@bbs-d1l]

I'm a full AMD user, ryzen and RX card. But i'm aware nvidia is kinda weird on Linux, hehe. Updates, you can easily resolve by unistalling the Gnome Software Center (gnome-software) or whatever other app (depends on desktop enviroment) you using for installing softwares and updating once and while by "dnf update" on terminal. And i use the minimal installation which you can run a very clean and unbloated fedora (you need to install by hand the desktop enviroment and all apps but core packages are already there). The Fedora Workstation version kinda sucks!

[@bernard4459]

@@bbs-d1l I came to the same conclusion as you. But also full AMD and only update through dnf so maybe that's why It's been relatively bug free for the last years. My only gripe is linux audio is very buggy which is a cross distro problem.

@@xperience-evolution When I first started using Fedora, I had a LOT of grief. In the end, I installed, immediately went to RPM Fusion and went through every step they advised, and when I had a NVIDIA GPU (past tense lol), I went to RPM Fusion NVIDIA and followed the steps there. Since then, I've never had issues with Fedora personally. Oh, yeah, I always update in terminal and I use dnf up-min instead of dnf up.

[@davebean2886]

Any on advise on best Linux version for me to use? I've been using Linux Mint (currently, Linux Mint Mate 21) for over a year and Linux Knoppix for half a decade before that. In general, my older laptops run much better (faster and updates) with Linux than with Windows. I have two main frustrations with Linux Mint (and most other distros). (1) After a year, I've not been able to use my Epson wireless Ecotank ET-3760 printer. With multiple versions, my printer setup can find the Epson on my network, but when I try to install, I end with a "There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'server-error-internal-error'" Is there a Linux distribution that would be either easier to connect to my printer or has a support group where others are trying to connect to Epson wireless Ecotank printers? I can either boot my laptop into Windows 7 or use a different computer with Windows 10 to connect to and print on my wireless printer. (2) My second frustration is not as important, but does seem to waste a lot of time. I run my Linux exclusively from USB boot drives. The directions for Linux Mint say to "Right-click the ISO file and select Make Bootable USB Stick, or launch Menu ‣ Accessories ‣ USB Image Writer". I have tried this approach many times and it either doesn't work at all or results in a boot USB which does not retain changes. There are several Facebook posts and KZbin videos addressing this issue and I work around it with a utility called MKUSB, which oddly, for me to use Linux Mint on an ongoing basis, is not included with the distribution and has to be installed from the terminal mode - fairly easy, but odd that seems to be required. Perhaps I was spoiled - I started out with Knoppix where I bought DVDs and USBs from OsDisc (that went out of business) which just ran when I booted them and accepted changes. Now when I either buy disks from other vendors or download the ISO and install to a USB, I seem to have to jump through hoops to create a bootable USB that retains changes. I liked Knoppix, but I also could not connect to my wireless printer with it either and later versions seem to be more available in German. However, with Knoppix there was an icon to install to a USB and the result was a bootable USB that retained changes. I've not been able to create a bootable USB that accepts changes with the Linux Mint install Icon (or following the install to USB directions) - MKUSB does work for me. There is a KZbin video that goes into the issue that seems to beyond my ability to utilize. Apparently, there may or may not be an issue with bootable persistent USB drives accepting drivers - perhaps like printer drivers? **** Linux, USBs, and Persistence Misconceptions kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4DGlKqmgpeWiM0 I am willing to purchase a different printer if necessary, I switched to the Epson Ecotank because I was fed up paying a lot of money for printer cartridges that sometimes were hard to find with my old printer. Suggestions for a refuge from Windows that just wants to run standard applications from a USB and use their printer? Thanks.

My last straw was ads in the start menu on the consumer version of Windows.

[@nunagoras]

Actually Windows 11 isn't actually that bad. Basic, that's it for sure, but not bad. The last version has some neat adjustments to the base. It is sort of elegant and sort of accessible to the ones whom need some assistance for low vision like me for example. I must concede that on their credit. On top of it for power users it is basic. And there nothing really to do about, but power users are maybe 1% of Windows users. They won't go after that crowd. They know that crowd knows where to go on. Need a device just for basic browsing and the likes? Windows 11 just works. Need something for serious work (other than the ones requiring MS Excel, once that is unique on the market) that requires other safety and reliability status? Just shop elsewhere from Mac to Linux.

I don’t have much experience with Artix, but I do like Void. A lot. I should have another go at Artix. It’s been a while.

Reeee no systemdeeee

[@BurhanDanger]

Void, Artix and Gentoo are three most notable systemd-free no BS distros. I try two of them, yet to try artix. Was planning to go artix on one of my machines, but couldn't figure out how to install systemd-boot on it. So discarded the idea and went with arch, because it's easy to install. Maybe in future will try artix.

Zorrin is only thing I need and use.

[@sifatullah7568]

I love Zorin OS. But can you tell if the latest build of Zorin(16.1 maybe) is based on Ubuntu 22.04 or 21.04?

[@SaptarshiRoySRoyPC]

RHEL, SLES and Ubuntu are the only GNU/Linux distributions with corporate support. Everything else in the Linux world is community based. This video is misleading to an extent.

[@lukashavel7690]

I am half way through and your Zorin keeps crying. :)

For me, Debian is still the best.

Videos like this are not good for me ! Stop tempting me devil !!! :P I'm good with MX KDE ... so far it feels like Debian with AUR, but stable.

voyager is terrible. the language selection menu is not shown correctly on their website if open from mobile phones. nobody cares/fixes it.

Looked at Garuda-- but it's just OVERDONE for me-- butt ugly--(I loved it at first-- but after looking at it a couple days-- I see the OVERDONE look and could not get past that.. I do know it's GREAT software--- but FOR ME (my opinion ONLY) I don't like it. CAN"T STAND FEDORA- so don't want anything remotely close to it.. Fedora DID not work for me-- it is ugly- looks like a pukeydone WINDOWs- which I can't stand- was laggy and the DNF or DNS or whatever that crap is- was SLOWer than smoke off pooh.. It messed up my drive numberig at boot too and had to redo the entire drive.

Their a lot of distro that pack nice features but almost all of them (excluding tromjaro) have soooooo bad websites that just make me run out directly… seriously all their nice work on the distro busted by a 90’ and badly designed website… it’s a shame but image matter these days…

The #spaceship referral looks like a #market default one - the arrival 😁🍋🍉🏦🏩

I came from Manjaro and now on MX Linux KDE Plasma edition. So far so good! Here's what my current desktop looks like: i.imgur.com/Fkojjbb.jpg 😁
