I occasionally see love for niche small distros, instead of the major ones…

And it just seems to me like there’s more hurdles than help when it comes to adopting an OS whose users number in the hundreds or dozens. I can understand trying one for fun in a VM, but I prefer sticking to the bigger distros for my daily drivers since the they’ll support more software and not be reliant on upstream sources, and any bugs or other issues are more likely to be documented abd have workarounds/fixes.

So: What distro do you daily drive and why? What drove you to choose it?

        The distros are very different. HM is just Ubuntu with a theme.
        RB is, to my knowledge, the only distro built around Weston, Wayland’s reference compositor. It doesn’t include any Rebecca Black theming, it’s just called that cause the distro’s maintainer is a fan of hers.

        Way back in the day we’d download Britney Spears and My Little Pony™ distros. Times change, I guess.

      Lmao got worse as I scrolled down.

      But xwayland is impressive. I’ve been using i3 but might switch to sway. The xrandr --scale command makes things too fuzzy.
