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)
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.
I tried arch once and Netflix and my printer didn’t work. Doesn’t it use some alternative c library or something?
No. Both CUPS and Netflix work perfectly fine for me on Arch.
You’re probably confusing it with Alpine.
Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing.
