I’m currently looking for a new OS, coming from KDE neon and I like it, but the fact I have to FUCKING restart because someone decided to push an OS update that broke my previous install, now the OS freezes my whole PC (never did before!) and I have to restart.
I’m looking for good apps support so Debian? Idk Using it for daily usage (Android/games development) and gaming.
I’m also looking for:
- Wobbly windows (yes useless but cool lol)
- Good customization
- KDE connect support (a must)
- Krunner or equivalent (MacOS like search)
- Idk?
Thank you!
Atomic distros were created to solve exactly that problem. I like Bazzite because it also has seamless background updates (among other reasons).
Any Debian fork will run .deb packages. But plain Debian is just very vanilla and will be missing a lot of stuff you’ll probably want.
These are all going to be features of the DE, and you can install any DE on any distro (AFAIK).
I tried Bazzite as my first try with Linux for a while and liked it; it was super easy. I didn’t like that the immutability went so far as to lock me out of some parts of the OS that I thought should be open, like lock screen customization.
Now I am on Garuda Arch and it has been really easy too.
I meant Debian based OS
I see. Deb is definitely the most package-friendly.
GNOME combines Mac’s “stage manager” and “spotlight” into a single function activated by the Super key (windows key/command). It’s really excellent and probably my favorite thing about GNOME.
Stage manager?
Yes, I prefer deb because its easier for me to install stuff
Stage Manager is the one where it zooms out to show all of your open windows and switch between them.
