I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?

I have been using linux mint recently. I have used nixos and arch in the past. Personally, linux mint uses flatpacks too much for my liking. Although, I might have a warped perspective after using arch. (the aur is crazy big)

Zorin

Not sure if I’d trust an OS named like a Bond villain.

I have very mixed thoughts on Zorin OS

It looks nice in the screenshots, but it charges $40 for “premium” which is pretty much the same as the free one, besides it having a few extra themes, and some “professional creative software” and stuff (free software that they are bundling in, and acting as if it’s exclusive to Zorin or something)

They also have an IT management tool called Zorin Grid that has said “coming soon” for years now

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
