LINUX DISTROS | What NOBODY is talking about!

[@AslamNazeerShaikh]

I am Linux user since 2015-2016. I still do distro hopping till the date. I usually spend Sundays and Saturdays trying various distros.

[@PankajDhande]

The reason you switched to Ubuntu from Fedora, that's the exact reason matter when you choose the distro. Not everyone is advanced user, or have the time to spend in babysitting the PC. I used Fedora for a while and faced some issues. After spending a lot of time I could not resolve them. With Arch based distros, getting Nvidia drivers work was a pain for me. I prefer to stick to a simple distro like Ubuntu or Ubuntu based, which are easier to use and manage, and require less babysitting. I can focus on my work instead of my OS.

[@gr0wnup5]

As a beginner, I found ZorinOS very appealing when hopping from Windows, Some recommend Linux Mint as well..

[@ArcTechnologies]

Zorin is beautiful!

[@TusharPanchal-cv6uy]

which distro you using on your main ARC?

[@raughboy188]

Here is one thing i wanna add to this video: Chose distro based on how you feel using it. If you want apps or stuff from other distros use distrobox, that way you can do whatever you want, you can use any app and distro doesn't matter.

[@ArcTechnologies]

Thanks for the tip ❤️ Which distro do you use daily?

[@raughboy188]

@@ArcTechnologies for time being official ubuntu but i am gonna move to debian. It's not that i don't like ubuntu i don't like snaps and cannonical makes removing snaps from future versions on official version more and more dangerous for system because of that the way i see it at some point removing snaps from ubuntu in future may cause system crash. Folks from mint may have noticed a long ago what i mentioned which why they're working on LMDE along with original just in case.

[@ArcTechnologies]

Oh Debian is a good choice but I'm just curious... Why do people hate snaps? I have used Fedora for quite some time. Recently switched to Ubuntu. The only thing that annoys me on Ubuntu is the App Store. I installed Gnome Software which solved the issue.

[@ArcTechnologies]

Oh Debian is a good choice but I'm just curious... Why do you hate snaps? I kinda dislike Ubuntu mainly for other reasons. For example, the Ubuntu App Store is pretty weird so I used Gnome Software separately which solved the issue.

[@ReflexVE]

@@ArcTechnologies Snaps are an open standard with a closed store making it effectively a Ubuntu standard. The Ione advantage they have is they work with cli apps, but other than that flatpak is better and more open in every way.

[@eddieoconnor4466]

To anyone who might be confused in regards to Linux distro's?...the distro of itself should be something you're comfortable using....if you're not sure?.....and you already have a computer/...you could try using it as a "Live USB" version to get a feel for it.....but my advice to you is this....take what you want from your current PC/ laptop....save it someplace either in the cloud or external storage?...and take the plunge....sure....study the distro you are most drawn to?.....read up on it etc?...but don't meander in between Windows and Linux....find the one for you?...and leave. don't look back...trust me you will not only broaden your mind and expose you to so much more?...but it will also give you a better understanding of computers in general...

[@kumarbanavathu7716]

I have been using Linux Mint for years after leaving Ubuntu. It is stable. Missing features: PDF reader features for students, Global menu applet, Wayland support, and PUBG gaming.

[@Deimos_Fresh]

I started with Ubuntu and after distro hopping returned back to Ubuntu and keep using it alongside Windows 10 while out of curiosity try various distros through VMs. I guess in terms of desktop environment I'm quiet used to GNOME the way it made on Ubuntu. I don't like vanilla GNOME experience. I also like KDE Plasma as it reminds me of Windows 7 days.

[@ArcTechnologies]

Yes! I'm daily driving Ubuntu now.

[@sanjunandi1627]

I have used multiple distros but yes I also agree that Fedora is one of the best as I didn't face any major problems with it. Only thing I didn't found solution on linux which I daily drive is the Verifying Digital Signatures on PDF, do you have any workaround with this??

Hello fellow flutter dev 🫂 I would suggest the original Ubuntu with Gnome.

[@aimonpoint3841]

Thank you sir​@@ArcTechnologies

[@ReflexVE]

Nice video! At this point after messing around for the first year generally I just recommend Silverblue to new switchers. It prevents them from seriously damaging their OS, stays up to date for hardware support and generally just works. The only drawback is that when they do need to add a package they have to substitute rpm-ostree for dnf, but it's not a huge deal. I also like Vanilla but it's not quite mature enough yet and the advantages it brings are not ones a novice user will need. Your point about not distro hopping is very valid, it becomes it's own hobby and keeps people from really mastering what they have. Unless someone does something amazing and unique, I'll stick with Silverblue until/unless Vanilla reaches parity and demonstrates the ability to provide smooth and routine upgrades to new versions.

[@ArcTechnologies]

Thanks you!

[@codeman99-dev]

My current line-up is Pop!_OS on two machines, Windows 11 + WSL, and I very recently swapped out Raspbian for VOID linux. Beyond that, I have experience with Ubuntu, Rockylinux, RedHat, and many more. I still have my stack of CDs I burned back in 2008 for distro hopping. I wonder if the loss of CD drives has hurt the beginner experience some. I know storage is cheaper than ever, but it still does not compare to burning a CD that cost pennies. In fact, the CD was vital to my early journey as the first distro I stuck with was a Puppy linux that loaded into RAM. I would boot from the CD, load my USB storage, and be off to the races. Much like Tails OS now, no trace after shutdown.

[@mobilturka]

I don't distrohop much, but I do DE hop alot, I chose arch as my primary distro and I don't switch to anything else just like a new DE, hop to it. but i really really love hyprland and gnome

[@ArcTechnologies]

Oh I love gnome too! What do you think about Plasma?

[@NibirBiswas-ko4wb]

@@ArcTechnologies I used to like plasma but I don't think it is too much polished, it can be made polished don't get me wrong. But theming consistency is a factor here I think I dislike windows in general that's why I don't like the looks. And also hyprland is so much customisable that I spend too much time in it, gnome just works.

[@NibirBiswas-ko4wb]

@@ArcTechnologies If I don't want any window manager I would choose gnome. But why not use a window manager (currently testing openbox and bspwm)

[@ArcTechnologies]

Yes I've mentioned it earlier in one of my videos that KDE Plasma isn't very consistent in terms of design. Gnome looks much more professional because of that consistency.

[@LeelaPavanKumarKakarla]

I think a wm( like hyprland bspwm )is very light wieght but not for beginners

bspwm is best as lightweight wm. hyprland is good but not lightweight.

[@CompuB1t]

I resume Linux distros as Arch Debian Fedora. I think they cover 90% of market share. Then there are Gennto, NixOS, Void and others. And the main difference is the package management, some basic libraries and the modified kernel.

[@TheLotw]

Just stick to a main distro, like Debian, Fedora, or Arch if you have some experience. If you need hand holding and want less CLI then use LinuxMint. Once you learn Linux then you can play around and see what you like or learn to do it yourself. For instance I am good enough I can use any Distro and do whatever I want and make them look pretty much the same and work about the same.

[@UbuntuPersonNoMint]

Ubuntu holds your hand and it doesn't have some of the mint downsides as you can install it on a wider array of hardware compared to mint that only works with old hardware and has issues with peripherals and printers that Ubuntu just uses with ease.
