I use arch, btw

[Stefen_Maxwell]

I want to start an openSUSE hype train. I installed the tumbleweed version, and I am now a huge fan. The package manager seems to require the terminal, but it is pretty nice. Rolling release like arch, but also stable.

Alright, I'm gonna say it.

Ubuntu is underrated.

I hadn't used it in years but I was testing something and... it was like really really stable. And well supported... and that's literately all I need out of an OS.

So I switched back to Ubuntu. Don't @ me, I know there are way more fun distros out there but I'm not here for fun, I'm here for function (I still plan on having fun with VMs and such with ProxMox, but you know what I mean).

While I am still a Windows user, I do try a lot of Linux distros.
So far, openSUSE Tumbleweed was the one I liked the most and it stayed that way for a couple of years.

They managed to make a stable rolling-release distro, they utilize BTRFS very well (especially with snapshots), they use the well-established RedHat base. My only criticism would be that the package manager seems to be a bit slow and I had to integrate this to make it quicker. It does not seem to work well with Packman packages, so you'd still have to fully use zypper for these.

This might help some people: I had to switch from download.opensuse.org to cdn.opensuse.org for the much faster Fastly CDN (it has the closest server to me). I could only do it for most of the mirrors, but not a huge deal.

Not a beginner distro, but if you have some knowledge of Linux and you haven't tried openSUSE yet, I would recommend having a go at it.

Based Ubuntu enjoyer. Honestly Ubuntu is a great option. The Linux that works for you is the best Linux, that's what I say!

While all the Statements about Ubuntu are True, Ubuntu is still not underrated.
It is quite Literally the King of the Linux Desktop. It is the most Commonly used Linux Distro.

I'm actually running EndeavourOS on my "iPad"*. Its a pretty nice distro based on arch, and it runs all the apps i actually need. Its also comes with the KDE desktop by default. Which is in my opinion the best desktop environment

* Its actually a HP x360 book. In which i call a iPad for simplicity to my family

I used Linux since I was about 12-13 yo, and up until I almost turned 18. Best of the best is Debian, just because it's a rock, literally. Its website says that Debian is the universal operating system, and it is the universal operating system. You can configure Debian for pretty much anything. A-tier.

Fedora and RHEL are my B-tier distros. Stable, pretty, convenient. Great distros, but they aren't Debian. Fedora is great for beginners, so it's probably B+

Ubuntu and its derivatives are the worst. Some better, but still. D-tier.

Arch is kinda pointless IMO. C-tier.

The Ubuntu hate is way too much imo. Snaps do kinda stink but from what I have heard they really arent that bad anymore.

I currently use EndeavorOS (GUI Arch installer + very purple). I have recently switched over to using the Sway window manager and it feels very nice. I am starting to really like using hot keys for everything.

I did recently give NixOS (Immutable and declarable distro so I have constant backups.) a shot on my nvidia laptop after an endeavor update messed with something initramfs again. I am struggling to get Nvidia drivers to work on it though but I haven't been gaming much recently so I have not gotten around to it yet. It is mostly likely something stupid I am doing.

I feel like nowadays the archinstall script that is in the regular arch iso probably will replace a lot of the easy arch install distros from what I have seen.

I also use Debian on my little server (Dell optiplex 3200m). It has worked well but I still need to setup a lot more applications to self host.

I use arch. Idk if it is the best distro out there, but I like it and I haven't had any issues with it.

The only time I used openSUSE was when I worked at Lowes. (I liked it.)
