I’m between distros and looking for a new daily driver for my laptop. What are people daily driving these days? Are there any new cool things to try?
I have been using linux mint recently. I have used nixos and arch in the past. Personally, linux mint uses flatpacks too much for my liking. Although, I might have a warped perspective after using arch. (the aur is crazy big)
Debian testing. Seriously. That is reasonably easy to install and configure unlike Arch or Gentoo, but doesn’t come with “user friendly” corporate crap like Ubuntu and its derivatives.
Despite the memes, Arch isn’t that hard to install nowadays. The Wiki is stellar and archinstall is a thing (as well as EndeavourOS).
But Debian testing is a fine choice as well, of course.
Arch on my home server, Zorin on my laptop
Zorin
Not sure if I’d trust an OS named like a Bond villain.
Garuda Linux. In just love arch, but I’m too lazy to do it myself. One day maybe
Gentoo. Been using it for over 3 years now, and I haven’t found a reason to leave yet.

I just use the defaults for everything, haha! Just grub2 for the bootloader, openrc for the init system.
By “home” do you mean DE/WM? If so, I use dwm for my laptop and sway for my desktop.

I don’t even know what that stuff is, so I guess my answer is that I just don’t use it 🤷♂️
