It’s true that it can be a powerful distro but I’ve also heard from some users that the advanced-level documentation is lacking and only limited to forums and source code. I think maybe if the documentation was more thorough I would try nixos.

Yup, that seems what it is. Thanks can’t believe I couldn’t figure that out myself 😅.

Tbf all of those distros except for manjaro are based on Ubuntu, so you really are more like hopping DEs and defaults more than distros. Also, I always tend to prefer the main distro than the spin-offs, so if you are using all of these smaller Ubtubtu-based distros that are breaking why not try Ubuntu itself? It has a much larger userbase and is tested more with more documentation.

Immutable OS’s like fedora silverblue tend to prefer flatpaks due to the read only nature of system files. Yes, you can rebuild the image and layer the rpm package over the rest of the system, but that’s really supposed to be kept to a minimum.

Can windows also break grub on gpt or only legacy mbr?

Tbh, I feel like it’s a loud minority tho. The majority of linux users (also happen to be the quietest) are “normies” that use Ubuntu and don’t have this type of attitude.

I’m pretty sure sid also has package freezes for when it moves up to testing. In general Debian’s purpose is as a stable distro and it might be better to use a distro that focuses on rolling release for bleeding edge packages.

I feel like this ruins the aspect of an archive of information where users can go back through and find useful info similar to SO in a way. Maybe there will be a meta search engine for looking through all of the popular instances?

RISC-V ftw

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. It’s surprisingly stable for a rolling release distro.
