I have been looking around and found a few new Distros which I plan to test and perhaps use. These are all Arch based.

Exodia (dwm, bspwm) Arch Distro: https://exodia-os.github.io/exodia-website/?ref=news.itsfoss.com

CachyOS (gnome, kde) Arch Distro: https://cachyos.org/

XeroLinux (Stable base Arch): https://xerolinux.xyz/

I agree. Some distributions are truely different distributions of Linux. But those are different distributions of desktop environment. They are not distributing Linux itself any differently, and having to reinstall your base OS for this seems like a waste.

For user friendliness, it would be nice if those “desktop environment distributions” were instead available as packages. Like I can do “pacman -S [your desktop env package]” and it sets up the desktop environment with all its configurations. It should be much easier to do this way, for both developers and users.

This is what I’m using the last year, really enjoying it. Most stuff does just work, Proton installed by default, haven’t had trouble running nearly anything I’ve wanted to play.

If you don’t want the themed desktop (KDE) then Garuda KDE lite is great. They also offer other desktop environments that I also think is without the skin

I’ve been keeping tabs on Cachy for a while. I’d love to try it but I’m way too invested in NixOS. I eventually want to work on a project to offer these optimizations in NixOS and have a binary cache available for other users, but that would require a lot of storage and processing power since every single package would have to be rebuilt.

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.
