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)
I tried nix actually. Personally, I think it would make a great server os, but I do not enjoy it as a daily driver. I didn’t like the fact that I was forced to install everything through nix and couldn’t compile software from source.
Nix is a source code package manager and compiles everything from source, except when there’s a binary substitute available.
