I just enjoyed the presentation and the amount of work that went into it. 🙂

    Doesn’t matter which distro you’ll pick. You’ll always pick the wrong one when you’re just starting

        The road continues on to Arch from there.

        Debian is becoming more and more viable as a desktop OS in the era of Flatpak and Distrobox. Trixie looks like a really nice release.

            Nah. Arch sits at the table with Ubuntu at this point. It is the domain of gamers and YouTubers. The Edgelords have fled to Void (or even Chimera Linux).

          Bookworm was, for me, the first one that installed fine for me. I love the philosophy of Debian but I might also like Arch - the bleeding edge is very attractive and I think I like AUR, however I need to understand how that works some more, before daring to do the jump.

            I keep seeing videos of Youtubers quitting Arch. I love Debian and will probably mostly stay with it, but after using a few distros in a VM or flashdrive without systemd, I wish there was a really stable no-systemd distro.

            I had the same impression of Bookworm. Debian including non-free firmware made a big difference. Trixie may be a game changer for Debian on the desktop.

            You might consider installing Arch in a Distrobox and adding yay to it to get access to the AUR on your current system. I use a MUSL based distro these days but use Distrobox to bring the AUR with me. This would be a way to give you a feel for the AUR without having to quit your current distro of choice cold turkey.

            I have considered trying LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) with a an Arch/Distrobox. That would be a base system of Debian Stable (stable), a reasonably up-to-date but not “bleeding edge” desktop (Mint), and the AUR for up-to-the minute versions of every package I can think of if I want them. Maybe I will try it when LMDE 7 launches. Could be good.

              Thank you for opening my eyes to a mixed possibility of distributions. I have dabbed your comment for when I got some more time to fiddle with my machine

        I like Debian. There are very few distros I don’t like. But it’s not the right choice for everything.

        Idk, if I were to ever leave Fedora, it surely would be to NixOS
