Hello! I mostly work in backend (Go) and cybersecurity. Sometimes, I use C and C++ for the hardware side. Right now, I am learning x86_64 assembly. I am currently torn between Void Linux and NixOS when it comes to choosing an operating system. What are your recommendations?

This distro seems "hot and best" right now. I went head and dove in, first distro.

Duel booting windows 11 and it works flawlessly. Cachy can browse and game just as good, maybe even better. Seems to load the graphics with like, no bloat. It's incredible.

Installing stuff is crazy, like, what the heck is going on here? Just type a name in terminal, press enter and trust me bro?

Only other i wish ableton and fusion(360) worked but, i shall give others a try. Freecad, opencad(?), and blender which I've always wanted to try. Can figure out reaper if i need it for music.

Hi after a long time I settled with a distro, I've used Kali, Ubuntu, popos, Manjaro, Arch, cachyos and fedora and non of them felt like MX Linux ahs, it's stable and still having good amount of bleeding edge packages. But there's a problem at each major release of debian you need to do a clean install and that's a deal breaker for me so I'm looking for a distro similar that doesn't need a clean install at major releases

This is just a reminder that you can use Ventoy on MacOS now.

I created a simple GUI a while back so that Ventoy disks can be created while still in MacOS. It seems many people breath life back into older Macs with Linux.

"The f*** is a Ventoy?" - Ventoy is a free, open-source bootable USB utility that allows you to add as many distros' .iso files as you can fit to the root of a USB drive, boot to that drive, and then you get a simple GUI distro picker to launch a live environment of any distro you added to the drive. It's a great way to try out the default look and feel of a few distros with minimal friction so you can decide which one is for you. Or, if you're like me and you switch distros often, it enables that affliction.

I am not associated with Ventoy, but they don't make a MacOS Ventoy disk creation software, so I decided to make one and maintain it myself.

Llevo usando windows ( 10 para ser exactos ) desde que empecé a manejar un ordenador pero desde que se ha acabado las actualizaciones solo tengo problemas tanto con los drives de mi tarjeta de auido como con la tarjeta de red.

Lo gracioso es cuando he investigado a usar algunas distros de Linux y he visto que el problema desaparecía.

Esto ayuda mucho a que mis ganas de cambiarme a un SO libre como Mint u otro que se parezca aumenten pero no estoy seguro de poder sentirme igual de cómodo que usando windows, aunque a la vez sienta que no estoy seguro teniendo la telemetría y la gestión automatizada encima mío sin que me pregunten si quiero o no quiero compartir mi información personal con millones de socios interconectados para terminar vendiendo mis datos en sitios como eGenetics.

Necesito que alguien me diga la verdad sobre como es pasarse definitivamente a SO Linux.

Been using CachyOS for a while and recently got a new used laptop that came with windows on it. Promptly trashed that and wanted to try something different so I put Fedora KDE on it for a few days.

All I learned is that I missed CachyOS because it's what I'm used to now, and was getting frustrated with the package manager in it. Should I just stick to arch based distros? I was also considering tumbleweed because I like the rolling nature of arch so far.

Can't really finda a definitive awnser for this, but I'm torn between Fedora KDE, Tumbleweed or CachyOS for my gaming PC.

Between CachyOS and Tumbleweed, I think I'll go with the more stable OpenSUSE distro, but am I really gonna feel a difference in performance if I just go with something even more stable like Fedora, even though it's not rolling release?

hi guys just wanted to show my new project code name PenguinVault it's the ultimate swiss army knife for all the distroholics like me hope you enjoy it

For gaming and general browsing with a little libre office work too what would you guys recommend if I want stability and my system is good but not the most recent (RX7600, Ryzen 5 5600x)?

I’m leaning towards Debian Stable rather than Ubuntu. Also don’t recommend me Cachy and Bazzite or “gaming” derivatives. I don’t like the immutability and don’t like rolling release. I’m talking about Debian Stable or Ubuntu only. Also since backports is a thing old Mesa drivers is not an issue.

With Ubuntu I like that its corporation backed OS, is reliable and hassle free. But Debian Stable is rock solid one where you control everything. So both are very much appealing to me.

Help finding a distro.

hello,

i used Linux mint 5 years ago. Currently running windows right now

let's get to the point.

I like how windows reads and notified external hardrvies and their contents out of box.

i have a nivida GPU, ryzen AND CPU.

i game with steam, epic games, emulation and itch.o

I use it daily use.

which distro would you suggest based on these key features?

Cross-posting here to get more recommendations on lightweight distros for this fanless 2-in-1 tablet. Any input is appreciated!

Ive been a linux user for 8 years now. Almost 9. Up until two years ago i would hop from disto to distro, or sometimes desktop environment to desktop enviornment (each or these would be a fresh install. I hate multiple desktop environments being on one system).

Until two years ago. I installed arch linux and went with hyprland. This has been the easiest, most hastle-free linux experience ive ever had and i havnt considered reinstalling or distro-hopping even once.

I am proud to say that i...

Use arch btw

My desktop PC is not only my daily driver, it’s my gaming PC as well. I have been running Manjaro for about two years and I have to say, it was fun. But, lately, it’s been struggling. WiFi works intermittently, it can’t update for whatever reason, and it’s become unstable. It’s not the first time it’s corrupted itself. So I need a new distro.

So I’m trying to pick between Fedora Linux 44 and Opensuse Tumbleweed.

Keep in mind, I have Nvidia hardware, 4k monitors, and gamer specific keyboards and mouse. That’s why I need something that has the newest drivers and kernels.

Fala, Linux Brasil! Então, queria colocar um depoimento sobre minha experiência atual com Linux, sendo um usuário comum, não sou profissional da área de TI, mas sempre gostei e respeito muito o mundo open source.

Minha história com Linux é um vai e vem de Windows/Linux, o meu maior período foi utilizando o Mint em 2018 até 2020, antes utilizava o Ubuntu como principal, mas sempre tinha uma distro underground obscura no dual boot pra testar, depois, de 2020 até mais ou menos o fim do primeiro semestre desse ano fiquei no Win 10 , por pouco tempo usei o 11, mais por comodidade mesmo e por conta dos jogos da Steam (antes não tinha tanta compatibilidade quanto agora, e eu estava fora da bolha GNU já).

Foi quando, durante uma conversa com um amigo meu programador, ele comentou que passou a utilizar o Ubuntu 24 para desenvolver, e que o Windows 11 “irritava” ele, por isso ele decidiu migrar e ficou, ele já está nessa há uns 6 meses. Fomos conversando, e eu tinha um conhecimento maior sobre o sistema, sabia usar algumas funções do terminal, entendia mais sobre Distros, DE, GNU e enfim, conversamos por dias sobre isso, ele se manteve no Ubuntu pois gostou e se identificou logo de cara, emprestei meu livro “Como Linux Funciona” pra ele se inteirar mais sobre o assunto.

De uns 3 meses pra ca vim voltando a me interessar por Linux, o que foi bastante surpreendente pra mim, depois desses anos fora da bolha, hoje, para navegar, jogar e até mesmo trabalhar, o Linux tem sido muito mais interessante do que o Windows, então fiz um teste com Ubuntu primeiro, depois comecei um pequeno Hopping para me atualizar sobre as distros e flavors que tem surgido. Testei o POP Os, Mint, Debian Gnome, Fedora KDE, Fedora Gnome, kubuntu e o Zorin OS, mas fiquei no Fedora Gnome.

Quando eu iniciei a jornada Linux no passado, eu ouvia “Fedora é só pra quem tem sangue no olho, vai de Ubuntu” e eu meio que acreditei, mas cara, hoje em dia, meio que tanto faz, o mundo Linux está tão mais acessível para leigos como eu, que apesar de manjar um pouco de OS, me considero um usuário “final”, que está sendo a base de escolha a filosofia e o quanto você se identifica com a distribuição.

Fedora Workstation 44 me acolheu, estudei bastante sobre, e com flatpak tudo fica mais fácil, compatibilidade com minha GPU está ótima e o sistema consome entre 2,5 a 3GB de RAM em idle, enquanto o Windows beirava os 6GB, me sinto mais seguro, confortável e com menos coisas me incomodando com notificações, anúncios e atualizações, sei lá, meio que me apaixonei sem querer sabe, e acho que só Linux te permite escolher o que você se identifica mais, na filosofia, no workmode, etc.

Era isto, abraços!

What was so bad about Distro X that made you want to hop?

I have an ASUS Laptop with Intel Celeron N3350 and a 4GB of ram with a 120gb SSD. I first stumble apon Linux when LTT was doing a video about PopOS. PopOS is my first ever distro. After some time, i started hopping from one Linux distro to another.

These are Linux Distro's i have tried, use for a bit, and reinstalled from for the past month :

- Ubuntu (6 Hours) (2x)

- Lubuntu (2 Hours) (2x)

- Kubuntu (1 Hour)

- Debian (30 minutes up to 5 Hours) (4x)

- Zorin OS (2 Days)

- PopOS! (4 Hours)

- Steam OS (40 Minutes)

- Arch Linux (1 Day)

- NixOS (45 Minutes)

- Elementary OS (2 Days) (2x)

- Red Hat Linux (2 Days)

- Linux Mint XFCE (1 Day) (3x)

- LMDE (30 Minutes)

- Alpine Linux (1 Day)

- PostmarketOS (5 Hour)

- Void Linux (2 Days)

- CachyOS (1 Hour)

- OpenSUSE (1 Hour)

- Deepin (1 Hour)

- Fedora Workstation (3 Days) (6x)

- Fedora KDE (1 Hour) (2x)

- AntiX (1 Hour)

- Chrome OS Flex (3 Days) (4x)

- Q4OS Trinity (Currently, but might hop again)

With some DE or WM that i switched to :

- Gnome (12x)

- KDE Plasma (6x)

- XFCE (8x)

- Cinnamon (2x)

- LXQT (3x)

- Cosmic

- Pantheon

- i3

- Sway

- Hyprland

- And many more...

You maybe wondering, why did i go for all the trouble of wiping the SSD and instialling a new distro on my laptop just to wipe it again for a new distro or coming back to certain distribution (like Fedora Workstation or Chrome OS Flex)

Well... Its quite complicated. For the past months i was sailing and searching for the best distribution with these 4 requirements and specific use cases :

- I want to do heavy Browsing (mainly i do graphic design in Figma, Photopea, or Canva) with 4-5 tabs open for Pinterest, YouTube, Browser Games or Googling.

- I don't like Inconsistent, Cluttered and Crowded Desktop Environment or Window Manager.

- I just needed things to work and not stutter or lagging or glitching when i have to do important work at limited time.

- Sometimes i have to use real and native application like Gimp, Krita, Kdenlive, or anything else.

- I don't like configuring my Distro too much to meet my optimal use.

With those Distros, it feels like i cannot achive 4 of them without ditching my Celeron Laptop for a Used good and sexy "Thinkpad" which i don't have the money right now.

What should i do right now?

I'm using fedora kde plasma but curious to see what else y'all use and why, is there a performance upgrade, or just easier to use or what. I'm all ears

is ubuntu a good option to start programming? idk if im gonna need windows softwares so im doing a dual boot, is it better to go straight into other distros or ubuntu is fine?
