That's not true, I use pop_os, but what's your favorite distro?

I've been using Linux Mint on my older laptop, and it's been great ! But Davinci Resolve doesn't work, because it apparently doesn't play well with Debian and Ubuntu Probably the same with Pop_OS then

I have also had a lot of trouble with Resolve lately on Pop, to the point that I've found myself just doing my editing in Blender... Hmm, maybe I should look at arch, btw

I've been using Garuda on my desktop, and MX Linux on my laptop for the past...2 years I think? I couldn't get EA games to play on anything else lol

oOOOooo Garuda looks kind of nice, looks like I'm about to start distro hopping again

They definitely have a lot of tools and built in scripts that make keeping things up to date, and, compared to vanilla arch, not broken easier.

I have distro hopped so much before that I kinda burnt out. Overall, I have landed on pop!_os for my use case, and I am extremely excited about the new desktop environment they have building.

It is called Cosmic. System76 have been building it from scratch in rust. It looks a bit gnome like, but with better customization options out of the box.

I think I've settled on my favorite being Archcraft at this point, because it's Arch (btw), it's lightweight/non-bloated so it works on my older devices, I love Openbox, it has an easy installer, and the distro has pretty decent simple custom theming out of the box.

(Before anyone roasts me: Yes, I've done the whole vanilla arch from scratch thing, a good ten-ish years ago. I did it once, it was educational, I had a blast, I discovered Openbox that way out of necessity, I used it until that machine physically broke down and wouldn't turn on anymore, and I've never felt the need to do it again since.)
