I’m wondering what the current favorite distros are besides the most popular ones like Arch, Debian and Fedora.
Opensuse TW
Opensuse is cool

I’ve been using Opensuse since it was called SuSE. Tumbleweed is great.
OpenSUSe. Tumbleweed as a rolling bistro is amazingly stable, yast is nice, and it all just works great. Leap for the servers, and things are solid.
I, too, get my coffee from the rolling bistro.
Loool I’ll leave it
OpenSUSE for me too.
I also switched family & friends to Thimbleweed (since a bit too snappy Ubuntu) & it’s been great.
I should think so too. A Thimbleweed sounds an excellent plant for an Evil_Shrubbery.
My evil plans have been discovered!!
Regardless the evil plant army must grow. Rolling thimbleweeds are usually our scouts and assassins (rarely kamikaze when on fire, looks cool tho).
What I’m saying is that you better be on the lookout, maybe hide if you see a thimbleweed with a gun or knife.

I’m enjoying what Nix does. That said, the learning curve is very steep, and the documentation is very inconsistent and usually poor.
The repositories for both nixpkgs and nixos are absolutely colossal, which is a huge plus, but their configurations are not listed on the same page, and it can lead to a lot of confusion. Unlike Arch’s PKGBUILD, which practically tell the build system exactly what to do, you’ll have to learn the structure of current configuration files, or the more recent flake system, to setup things how you like.
Maybe I’ll wait until things aren’t a mess
I recently had the same thoughts but was Ted to try nonetheless. Asked for some beginner friendly resources here on lemmy a little while back. Might be to further help for some 😊
Damn Small Linux was a favorite a long time ago.
PopOS! Is it for me these days.
I’ve started to dip my toes into NixOS. I really love their design concepts.
Another vote for openSUSE Tumbleweed
I’m trying out OpenSUSE Tumbleweed on a few personal servers as I wait for Slowroll, I want to get back to trying to get Gentoo running, and I should check out Guix as a server in a VM.
Gentoo having a binary option should help since I seem to mess up the kernel part of the installation.
dist-kernel for gentoo is even better. Kernel from source but the distribution give a config that works for most. Then if you still want to change something you can patch it. It is wonderful.
Custom North Korean linux. Preinstalled missile tracking software.
I discovered this on Lemmy, clearly there is no going back
Alpine was the most interesting for me. It goes against the tendency of complicating the systems. I have to use Arch because everything can work on that distro.
NixOS is not based on any other distro because it has its own package manager which is better than all the other distros’
