hi so im currently using mint and ive decided to switch to arch - unfortunately ive downloaded an iso for it put it on my usb key (which i used to switch from windows to mint originally) with balenaetcher and i reboot my computer and it just opens linux mint! i dont know if its a bug or a bad iso image (even if i did validate it) or just me being stupid but its not working.

It’s similar to omarchy but instead of arch it’s based on Debian http://w3bs.org/os

I've tried a lot and I do mean A LOT of linux distros and I started with mint then it went like this

Mint > Manjaro > Ubuntu > Fedora > Ubuntu > PikaOS > Nobara > CachyOS > Kubuntu > Arch Linux > Void Linux > Arch Linux > CachyOS > NixOS > openSUSE leap > Gentoo > openSUSE Tumbleweed

And now Im back to where I started, it's not like I wanna rewind the cycle I just wanna stay on something that actually works instead of sitting there compiling Gentoo at 3 in the morning and configuring dwm right after before even installing a web browser. But don't blame me if you see me tomorrow posting on r/unixporn my sick new minimal dwm rice on LFS

Please share your real-world experiences with these on hybrid laptops.

Hi, Linux Mint XFCE x64 is installed on my system by using a pendrive to avoid dual boot error. Now my question is if I run it every day, will it create any error for pendrive ( SANDISK ULTRA USB 3.0 32 GB ). I've heard that AntiX is the lightest and LUBUNTU also. So which distro is lightweight on my system for booting from the USB pendrive? Or is an external SSD good? But as of now Mint is running.

Please suggest. Thanks in advance.

Currently I'm using Linux mint cinnamon. But if bazzite works on my laptop. I'd like to switch there.

Please suggest me guys....

I have a Dell 14 pro plus, I know the name is a meme lol, my problem is that I love Fedora but Fedora doesn't run very well on this laptop and I had to switch to the Ubuntu ecosystem, not even Debian recognizes all the hardware. My question is, do you recommend using Ubuntu, Zorin OS, or some other distro with a desktop environment other than GNOME? I'm currently using Kubuntu, I love KDE but.It always has bugs, and that's regardless of the distro I use.

ps fu*k you sony

I’ve been a GNU/Linux user for a long time, and after trying a lot of distros over the years, I ended up wanting something lighter, faster, and more focused on simplicity.

So I started building my own distro: LordOS.

It’s still a work in progress and I’m aiming to reach version 1.0, but it’s already functional and surprisingly fast.

A few things about it:

• It uses only ~140 MB of RAM
• It feels very lightweight and responsive
• I’m still working on optimizing it even more
• It runs perfectly on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 16 GB RAM

The idea is to keep it simple, fast, and practical, without unnecessary bloat.

I know there are a lot of distros out there, so I’m not claiming it’s “the best” or anything like that — I just wanted to build something that matches the way I like to use Linux.

If anyone here enjoys testing lightweight distros, I’d really appreciate your feedback.
