Any recommendations for a distro?
I've used Mint in the past, loved it until I spent a day trying to get scanner drivers to work. Don't know if that's changed now, was 4 years ago
- desireco42 9mo agoOmarchy is pretty streamlined for developers and you can play games as well as they work well.
- phren0logy 9mo agoI tried a number of distros and settled on Omarchy because it has a coherent design and nice aesthetics, but it has some weird quirks about messing with my dotfiles on updates. It's so new I suspect this will be ironed out soon.
- lawn 9mo agoToday I'd recommend CachyOS. While I haven't connected a scanner, everything else I've tried just seems to work.
- 2OEH8eoCRo0 9mo agoYou're going to get everyone's opinion here. Try a bunch of the major ones and see what works best. I did this and landed on Fedora but ymmv
- riffic 9mo agothe Universal Blue project has got a great suite of distributions: https://universal-blue.org/ https://universal-blue.org/
- delaminator 9mo agoSimple, Debian with i3-wm
- mixmastamyk 9mo agoYes, Mint for most people. I am using Fedora on machines with new hardware and liking it as well. It has small pluses/minuses vs Mint.
- weaksauce 9mo agocachyos is a good os that is also performant. arch though so there are quirks around the rolling update model but you always have the newestish packages and if you update regularly there seems to be less headache.
