I’m wondering what the current favorite distros are besides the most popular ones like Arch, Debian and Fedora.
Its… Debian. 😆
Are there even other (good) distros that aren’t based on debian, fedora, or arch?
Considering pretty much all of the best distros are based on those three, probably the best you’ll get is trying BSD. I can’t think of a single distro not based on one.of the three that is still maintained.
Off the top of my head I can think of Gentoo, NixOS, Void, Guix and Slackware. Although idk if Slackware is mantained.
edit: I forgot about Alpine Linux
edit 2: forgot about OpenSUSE
Ubuntu is so easy to use!!
NixOS is not based on any other distro because it has its own package manager which is better than all the other distros’
Yes, that package manager will surely be the best one and not just be another one in the zoo.
The whole system is built using it, so every time your system will be the same when building from the same configuration. Even if you such to another computer, you will download locked versions of all packages and get the exact same system
In Ubuntu installing and removing a package doesn’t even guarantee it’s cleaned up
elementary!
