I’ve used Arch for years now but I recommend OpenSuse Tumbleweed to a friend recently
I have a computer using Windows because it needed a windows store app and the drm on those thwarted my attempts on Linux
For a purist like me, arch IS the best distro.
However, best for me doesn't mean best for thee.
Vanilla Ubuntu (boo! hiss!). It gets the job done and is out of the box usable with easy flatpak installs. It is 2025, there is no need to tinker with a desktop distro unless you're deploying on ancient or exotic hardware.
Hardware isn't the only thing worth tinkering though. Coonfigur coonfiguring DE and WMs might actually be more productive and efficient in doing things
first place is tied with arch and debian, second might include RHEL.
everything else is non deterministic.
I've got a feeling that I leave arch, just to come back to it... Almost a year without Arch.
They had to invent a package manager for repackaged debs and GitHub repos. Very elite
Shirt colours are, or need to be, swapped. Blue guy's shirt is more like the Arch logo's colour and green guy is signalling Mint or maybe SUSE.
I guess this means this is the perfect time to say: I use LMDE, btw.
Honestly it's usually the Arch Cultists that don't want opinions
Hint: :q!
